What is a virtual POS and when do you need it?
A virtual POS (vPOS) accepts card payments online without a physical device. Combined with barsy it covers situations where the customer and the till are not in the same place:
- Reservation deposits – send a payment link by email or SMS and the booking is secured before the customer arrives;
- Orders via the public menu – the customer orders via the table QR code and pays directly from their phone;
- Requests and advance orders – catering, custom cakes, deliveries – payment comes with the order, not after it;
- Less pressure on staff – nobody runs around with a terminal or retypes amounts.
