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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
