FoxPay POS: QR payments at the booth, counter, and pop-up
Payment does not end at online checkout. Merchants sell at trade fairs, in showrooms, at pop-ups, during direct sales conversations, and in situations where a classic card terminal is not the right fit. FoxPay POS extends the FoxPay platform for those moments: a QR-based on-site flow launched from the merchant dashboard and powered by the same payment infrastructure used in digital checkout.
The principle is simple. The merchant enters an amount, optionally adds a customer email, and creates a POS charge. FoxPay creates a payment reference, a payment link, and a QR code. The buyer scans the code and pays through the available FoxPay methods, such as Hosted Checkout with Open Banking or, where available, a direct QR Pay or EPC QR flow.
What FoxPay POS solves
Many merchants already have digital payment flows, but no clean process for on-site payments. A manually sent link is slow. A reused QR image is fragile. A separate terminal solution creates separate status logic, separate reconciliation, and separate support issues. For regulated or demanding merchants, that gets messy quickly because payments do not only need to start. They need to be traceable until they are completed or closed.
FoxPay POS brings the key steps into one terminal flow. The amount is easy to enter, validated server-side in cents, and stored as a FoxPay transaction. Each POS charge receives a clear reference and expires after 30 minutes. That avoids old links being reused later and gives the team on site a shared operating picture: this payment is waiting, processing, paid, cancelled, expired, or failed.
QR handoff, payment link, and live status
In the POS handoff, the merchant sees the amount, reference, expiry, and current status. The QR code can be used as a payment-link QR that takes the buyer to FoxPay Hosted Checkout. If QR Pay details are available, a direct EPC QR mode can also be offered. As a fallback, the payment link can be copied or optionally sent to the buyer by email.
While the buyer pays, FoxPay tracks the status live. Pending, processing, paid, cancelled, expired, and failed are operational signals, not just technical labels. A paid charge can be closed. An expired charge needs to be recreated. An open charge can be cancelled if the buyer changes course.
Why QR POS fits FoxPay
FoxPay is built for merchants whose payment paths need more context than a simple standard PSP signup. QR Pay, Open Banking, Hosted Checkout, WooCommerce, REST API, and the payment frame are parts of one infrastructure. POS adds the moment where the merchant is standing directly in front of the buyer.
The benefit is not only speed. Merchants switch between fewer tools, reconcile fewer manual workarounds, and keep on-site payments inside the same platform logic as online payments and payment links. That helps support, tracking, and reconciliation, especially for teams working events, direct sales, or international pilots.
Who should care
FoxPay POS is useful for merchants already working with FoxPay and for teams that want to connect payment operations across online and offline scenarios. That includes trade fair exhibitors, regulated merchants, B2B sales teams, pop-up concepts, showrooms, field-sales workflows, and merchant cases where fast payment acceptance without additional hardware matters.
One early live deployment is planned for June 2026: Purple City Genetics is using FoxPay POS at Mary Jane Berlin in Hall 22A, Booth F113. That is where the feature shows its real purpose. Not a lab demo, but a selling moment: create amount, show QR code, track payment, and move on.
Conclusion
FoxPay POS brings checkout to the place where the merchant and buyer already are. The flow stays deliberately lean but operationally complete: amount, QR code, payment link, optional email delivery, 30-minute expiry, live status, cancellation, and closure. For merchants, it creates an on-site payment path that does not sit beside FoxPay. It extends FoxPay.
