wallee SoftPOS receives ep2 certification.
With wallee SoftPOS, the Wallee Group is launching the first—and currently only—ep2-certified SoftPOS solution in Switzerland. The solution, developed in-house at “homeofpayments” in Winterthur, is now available to all integration partners, ISVs, and enterprise customers. It combines the flexibility of software-based payment acceptance and true omnichannel capabilities at wallee with the established standards of the Swiss payment infrastructure.
The increasing digitization of payment transactions is driving greater dynamism and innovation in payment processing. Software-based POS solutions are opening up new possibilities in this area. Often marketed as “Tap on Phone,” “Tap on Mobile,” or “Tap to Pay,” these solutions are frequently positioned as a cost-effective entry point for accepting payments directly via smartphone. The promise: Save on the cost of a terminal. In practice, however, they are often used as standalone solutions—particularly because many providers do not support the major Swiss payment methods.
With wallee SoftPOS, our new, in-house developed solution, we’re taking a different approach: We view SoftPOS as a fully integrated component of a modern payment infrastructure.
Software-based POS solutions for professional use
For us, the true strength of a software-based POS solution lies in the seamless and efficient integration of payment processing into the existing processes of merchants, integrators, or POS manufacturers. You can completely rethink the customer journey, streamline processes, and embed the POS checkout directly into specialized industry solutions.
For example, a mobile product scanner at the supermarket that allows customers to pay directly. Or a ticket agent on a train who issues the ticket on the same device that also accepts payment, or the ordering tablet in a restaurant where you can pay with a single tap. wallee SoftPOS now turns compatible NFC-enabled devices into a full-fledged point-of-sale system with contactless payments—without the need for an additional payment terminal. This opens up new possibilities for efficiently integrating payment processing into existing processes, devices, and applications. It’s ideal for ISVs, POS manufacturers, and integrators who know exactly what the perfect customer journey looks like and want to seamlessly embed payments. And, of course, it’s always fully integrated into the entire wallee ecosystem.
Modern Payment Processing—Seamlessly Integrated Across All Channels
As Switzerland’s “homeofpayments,” we offer our merchants and partners a flexible, cutting-edge cloud platform that processes payments from all channels and integrated payment acceptance technologies equally (“True Omnichannel”). For us, it was clear: the possibilities offered by a software-based solution are a perfect complement —provided it meets the same requirements. And for us, this naturally includes certification according to the Swiss ep2 standard, to which the Wallee Group, as a Swiss company, has been committed from the very beginning.
wallee SoftPOS — the first ep2-certified SoftPOS solution available in Switzerland
For many years, ep2 has formed the foundation of electronic payments in Switzerland. Merchants and integrators rely on ep2-certified products for fundamental, strategic advantages, which now apply equally to our new software-based POS solution. In the SoftPOS sector, this is available to Swiss merchants exclusively through wallee. wallee SoftPOS is the first—and currently the only—ep2-certified SoftPOS solution on the market.
Among other things, ep2 certificationensures:
- Compliance with Swiss Regulations for Payment Providers
- Native support for major local Swiss payment methods
- High operational stability and reliability in transactions
- Low complexity in integrations and payment processing
- Long-term investment protection through stable product cycles
- High reliability thanks to independent verification
With wallee SoftPOS’s ep2 certification, we bridge two worlds: the flexibility of software-based payment acceptance across a wide range of systems and the secure, efficient, and regulated capabilities of Switzerland’s established payment infrastructure.
SoftPOS seamlessly integrates with your modern payment processing system
wallee SoftPOS is, of course, fully integrated into wallee’s modern portfolio and is truly omnichannel.
