My Recommended Stripe Terminal
The Verifone UX700 is my recommended Stripe terminal for this system. It is designed for unattended use and is flexible in how it can be used: as the customer-facing POS on its own touchscreen, or as the payment terminal alongside a separate touchscreen computer. It accepts card payments and can work with a separate touchscreen computer. Its Android platform also supports developing a POS application for the terminal screen.
How This Could Work For You
You could choose either layout, develop both together, or introduce them in stages across your sites.
- Build the POS app on the terminal
Develop a branded Android app for the UX700 touchscreen, with signup, membership lookup and wash selection. The app hands payment collection to Stripe, then continues the customer journey.
- Use a touchscreen computer POS
Run the POS on a separate computer with a larger touchscreen. It interfaces with the UX700, which runs Stripe’s own payment terminal application. No extra payment app needs to be built for the terminal; the computer POS still needs the Stripe integration.
- Develop both, together or one at a time
For example, start with the Android app on the UX700. Later, develop the PC version and use larger touchscreens at selected locations, configuring those terminals for PC-led payments. Both versions could share the same customer accounts, subscriptions and site settings.
On-terminal app deployment is subject to confirming Stripe support, enablement and app review for the chosen UX700 configuration.
