Set up integration with Softpay in NP Retail

Softpay is an app-based terminal which can be intregrated into Point Of Sales (POS) systems.

From the customer’s side, the payment flow when purchasing from a local store is as follows:

• The customer brings the items to the register.
• When all items are scanned, the payment is initiated, and the POS app switches to the Softpay app.
• The customer puts a credit card close to the device’s NFC reader, and is prompted to provide a PIN if the amount is high enough, or if they have completed purchases without using a PIN for some time.
