Integrated payments : A card terminal linked to your POS.

With integrated payments the POS sends each bill straight to the card terminal, and the result comes back on the order. Nobody retypes a total, tips land where they belong and you close the day without comparing two reports.

What are integrated payments?

Integrated payments mean the card terminal and the POS work as one system instead of two devices side by side. The POS knows what has to be paid, the terminal collects it, and the payment is stored with the order it belongs to. You will also see it called a POS-linked or POS-integrated card terminal.

The amount arrives by itself

Tap pay in the POS and the exact bill appears on the terminal, split bills and part payments included. Nobody reads a total off one screen and types it into another.

The payment lands on the order

Amount, method, tip, time and staff member come back to the POS. The order closes itself, so no table stays open and no bill is collected twice.

One close at the end of the day

Card, cash and tips sit in one report because they come from the same records. There is no separate payment overview to compare by hand.

How it works

From bill to payout in four steps.

Nothing changes in how a guest pays. What changes is what your system knows afterwards.

  1. Open the bill in the POS

    Pick the table or the order and tap pay. Split the bill per guest or per item first if you need to.

  2. The terminal shows the amount

    The total goes to the card terminal, or to the phone that works as one. The guest can add a tip on the screen.

  3. The guest pays

    By card, phone or watch: tap, insert or swipe. The terminal reports the result to the POS straight away.

  4. Order closed, payout on its way

    The payment is tied to the order and shows up in your reports at once. The money is in your bank account the next business day.

Payments + POS

Payments and POS, working as one.

When the till and the card payment live in the same system, a whole layer of daily checking and fixing simply goes away.

POS and payments apart
  • Someone reads the total off the screen and keys it into the card reader.
  • At close, card takings get matched against a separate payment report.
  • A payment comes in that doesn't line up with any order.
  • A wrong amount here, a missed tip there, a night that won't balance.
Vrodex Payments + POS
  • No more typed-in totals. The reader pulls each bill straight from the POS, tips and all.
  • No more checking two reports. Card payments reconcile themselves.
  • No more unlinked payments. Every payment ties itself to its order.
  • No more end-of-night guesswork. The numbers add up on their own.

One bill, one report, one place to look when a number needs checking.

Ways to take a payment

One link, on the device that suits your venue.

Every option gets its amount from the POS and reports the payment back to the order.

SoftPOS (tap on phone)

Turn any modern Android phone into a card reader. No extra device. No second supplier.

Pin terminal

Fixed or handheld terminals on the same bill as your POS. They pick up every total from the tab.

Online payments

iDEAL, cards, Apple Pay, Wero and Bancontact for online orders.

Payment links and QR

What it costs

A fixed module price and a clear rate per transaction.

Vrodex Payments costs €5.95 a month on top of Vrodex POS at €44.95 a month, excluding VAT. In-store card rates are quoted for your venue and your volume, so you compare a real offer instead of a list price.

Frequently asked questions

Integrated payments, explained

Integrated payments connect the card terminal to the POS system. The POS sends the amount of the bill to the terminal, the guest pays, and the result is written back to the order automatically. Staff no longer type amounts into the terminal, and card takings match the POS by themselves.

A standalone terminal only knows amounts. Someone types in the total, and at closing time the card takings are compared with a separate payment overview. A linked terminal knows which order, table and staff member a payment belongs to, so tips, split bills and refunds are recorded on the order.

The rate per card type can be slightly higher than a bare terminal rate. Against that you save the time spent retyping totals and comparing reports, and the mistakes that come with it. For most venues that outweighs the difference. With very few card payments a standalone terminal can be cheaper, so ask for an offer based on your own volume.

Vrodex POS works next to any card terminal you already have, but the amount is then still typed in by hand. The automatic link runs through Vrodex Payments, which is built on Mollie: a countertop or handheld terminal, or SoftPOS on an Android phone.

No. With SoftPOS a modern Android phone with NFC (Android 11 or newer) works as the card reader, linked to the POS in the same way. A countertop or handheld terminal is available if you prefer a dedicated device.

Yes. Refund a whole order, a single item or any amount from the POS, back to the card the guest paid with. The guest does not have to come back with the card.
