As an independent, self-employed business owner that is predominately connected to the retail and hospitality industry, I cannot tell you the hangover I received the day after the government announcement Boris made. I am not sure what was more elating, the reopening of ‘non-essential’ retail and hospitality, thus a return to some normality for business or my kids going back to school.

In all seriousness, I realise everyone is feeling cautious about the situation, after all we have been here before and whilst I am an advocate of doing what is needed to stop the spread, I think everyone’s mental health during this 3rd lockdown has taken a hit. So, post the announcement, it is nice to be able to start focussing on the future by supporting businesses as they get ready to reopen and get some new, useful gadgets to improve services.

With this in mind, let me introduce you to my new card payment solution – the PAX A50. This little device is ideal for retailers, coffee shops, restaurants, market traders, festivals, venues, basically anywhere that needs a hybrid card payment machine that can operate indoors, and outdoors without losing any performance. The really great thing is, this device is small enough to easily fit in your palm or pockets, so that your employees always have a way to take payment on them, thus saving time and improving your customer service.

The PAX A50 has no contract, the rates start at 0.5%, and it offers the very latest ways of taking payment with EMV chip, NFC contactless, QR Code, Apply Pay and Google Pay technology. With a superior battery life, the PAX A50 also supports online payments, table management, inventory, cashier management… the list goes on.

Here is the techy bit…

  • 4.5″ Android Colour Display
  • Smart Card Reader and Contactless Card Reader
  • 1 x SIM + 1 MicroSD or 2 x SIM Card Slots
  • 0.3 Megapixel Front Camera (optional)
  • 5 Megapixel Auto Focus Rear Camera for Code Scanning (optional)
  • Multi Connectivity 4g/WiFi/Bluetooth
  • Lightweight at 163gs

This card payment solution really is something worth investing and, in my opinion, the most stylish and innovative payment solution device out there. If you are interested in finding out more, give me a call on 07906161197 or alternatively email: carl@eabsolutions.co.uk
