In the digital age, customers expect not only flexibility but also speed and security when paying. This is especially true in brick-and-mortar retail, where fast and smooth payment processes are crucial. This is exactly where Softpay.io comes in – one of the most modern and pioneering solutions for contactless payments. We at Smartstore are pleased to inform you that we now offer the native integration of Softpay.io into our platform. This advanced technology not only provides enormous benefits for merchants but also offers customers an unbeatable payment experience.
What is Softpay.io?
Softpay.io is a state-of-the-art and user-friendly payment platform that elevates the Tap-to-Pay Principle for contactless payments to a completely new level. The solution transforms any Android smartphone or tablet into a fully functional payment terminal - without additional hardware or special card readers. This means companies of all sizes benefit from a cost-effective, flexible, and easy-to-implement payment method that both increases customer satisfaction and significantly simplifies the payment process.
Main Features of Softpay.io:
- NFC-based payments: Payments by card or mobile wallet.
- PIN entry directly on the device: Suitable for larger amounts as well.
- High security: PCI-DSS compliant encryption.
- Independent of hardware terminals: Simply install the app and get started.
The use of the NFC function of Android or iOS devices makes contactless payments easier than ever. Especially convenient: The app even allows for PIN entry directly on the device, making previous hardware solutions completely redundant.
Advantages of Softpay.io – The Future of Payments
1. Maximum Mobility and Flexibility
With Softpay.io, fixed payment terminals are a thing of the past. Retailers can accept payments at any point in the store – whether at the shelf, outdoors, or directly with the customer.
2. Cost Savings by Eliminating Hardware
Conventional payment terminals are not only expensive to purchase but also come with ongoing fees. With Softpay.io , merchants only need an Android device, significantly reducing operating costs.
3. Increased Security and Data Protection
Softpay.io meets the highest security standards (PCI-DSS) and uses modern encryption technologies. Card data and payment information are therefore always secure. Softpay.io is a European provider based in Denmark.
4. Seamless Integration into Smartstore
Thanks to its native integration into the Smartstore platform, merchants benefit from a smooth user experience. Payment processing is quick and easy, enhancing both customer satisfaction and process optimization.
5. Support for Common Payment Methods
Whether credit or debit cards, mobile wallets like Google Pay and Apple Pay – Softpay.io supports all major payment options. This ensures merchants can offer their customers a comprehensive payment experience.
Simple Integration into Smartstore
The integration of Softpay.io into Smartstore is easy. Simply download the Softpay.io app on your Android device, configure the settings in Smartstore – and you can start accepting contactless payments!
Benefits of Integration:
- Quick and easy setup
- No technical knowledge required
- Real-time processing and transaction tracking

Practical Example: How Softpay.io is Changing Retail
A fashion store in the city center experiences high customer traffic daily. Before introducing Softpay.io, customers often had to wait long because only one stationary terminal was available.
Since switching to Softpay.io, employees use mobile Android devices directly in the sales area. This allows them to process payments for customers during their shopping – without having to wait at the checkout. The response from customers is consistently positive: less stress, faster processing, and a modern shopping experience.

Smart Shopping: The Future of Shopping Begins Now
In today's fast-paced retail world, efficiency and flexibility are crucial to the success of a business. This is where the groundbreaking collaboration between Softpay.io and the Android or iOS-based POS systems comes into play, which we have also integrated into Smartstore. This integration marks a significant advancement in smart shopping.
The "Tap to Pay" function of Softpay.io offers customers a convenient and secure way to pay for their purchases with just a touch. This innovation works seamlessly with all SUNMI devices that are Android-based. Retailers can use SUNMI devices to enable simple and fast payment processes, significantly speeding up the checkout process.
By integrating Softpay.io into our platform, each SUNMI device becomes a fully functional payment terminal that does not require additional hardware. This not only reduces costs but also provides flexible and mobile handling directly at the Point of Sale (POS). These technological advances set new standards for the shopping experience and increase customer satisfaction through smooth, fast, and secure payment processes.
You can also use the function with other Android or Windows POS manufacturers, provided they have an NFC interface. This means that the "Tap to Pay" function of Softpay.io does not only work on devices from SUNMI.
