Dual Screen Design

Merchant and customer interact on separate screens

The Poynt Smart Terminal has two touchscreens integrated into a single unit. The merchant-facing screen handles order entry and management. The customer-facing screen handles payment selection, tip prompt, and signature — without passing the terminal back and forth.

  • Customer selects cash or card on their own screen
  • Tip prompt and amount confirmation on customer display
  • Signature capture on customer touchscreen
  • Built-in thermal printer — no separate receipt printer needed
  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay all accepted via NFC
  • Loyalty and reporting built into Poynt OS
