Contactless POS

The contactless POS is a low cost, easy to use point of sale terminal which allows quick payments to be made using contactless smart cards. The terminal comprises 2 boxes. One box faces the merchant who can enter products ID's or values to debit or credit the consumer card. The other box is used to allow the customer to present their card for payment. Both boxes have a 2 line display to present information regarding the current transaction.
