The Poynt terminals included native apps and on-device features that were never intended to be used alongside the Legacy integration. Rather than relying on the device itself, our software is designed to operate as the central control point for payment activity.
The PAX Aries 8 is a modern, streamlined terminal that is fully integrated with our software. This device will securely accept payments and pass the results back to Legacy, keeping the data and controls centralized for consistency, compliance, and better support.
The PAX Aries 8 offers greater platform control, a simplified user experience, and improved device performance. Below is a quick side-by-side comparison of the two devices:
