Product & How-to
PineLabs and Paytm terminal payments inside a modern POS
Initiate, poll, handle failure, retry safely, and keep terminals scoped per location. The unglamorous detail that decides queue speed.
Feature
Payment terminal integration for in-store card, UPI, and cash
Payment terminal integration links your POS cart to physical payment devices and local rails, so a successful tender closes the order automatically — without anyone retyping the amount.
The terminal and the till agree, or the order does not close.
In practice
What you get with payment terminal integration
01
Real-time status polling
The cart watches the terminal until the transaction resolves, so staff are never guessing whether a payment landed.
02
Split tender
Combine cash, card, UPI, wallet, and gift card on one order with each tender recorded separately.
03
Location-scoped terminals
Devices belong to a location, which keeps reconciliation and shift close honest in multi-outlet groups.
04
Audit-friendly history
Every attempt, retry, void, and refund is attached to the order for later dispute handling.
