SG startup Qashier launches QR payment terminal

It accepts the majority of e-wallet QR payments and is expected to benefit hawkers and minimarts.

Singapore startup Qashier has launched a QR payment terminal equipped with real-time auditory alert capabilities.

The QashierPay Soundbox is a plug-and-play terminal meant to be the easiest way for businesses to accept QR payments, and offers an ultra-low cost device. This is touted as a possible gamechanger for small businesses and merchants handling a quick flow of transactions, such as hawkers and mini-marts.

The device accepts the majority of e-wallet QR payments, including PayNow-enabled apps Google Pay, GrabPay, DBS Paylah, Singtel Dash and more. It also services One Paynow QR code for a smoother checkout experience for customers.

Merchants, meanwhile, are offered real-time history viewing of past transactions through QashierHQ.

Merchants are also promised to receive payouts from their transactions the next business day, ensuring stronger cash flow for businesses.

The device is Wifi and SIM-enabled, and comes ready with a free SIM card as well as data usage for the device.

The first 1,000 businesses to register between 10 January to 29 February 2024 can claim a complimentary QashierPay Soundbox. They will also enjoy a waiver of transaction fees until the end of March 2024.

Exclusive to the launch, these merchants can enjoy an additional S$100 cashback upon reaching S$10,000 in transactions.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
