How billing apps on PoS machines are helping merchants boost profitability

The COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on contactless modes of payments as both merchants and customers now prefer a contact-free interaction during the transaction process. Merchants are preferring acceptance of digital payments to keep their customers and themselves safe. One of our ePOS by Pine Labs users from a leading beauty and wellness company was quoted in a Business Standard article where he said that over 20 per cent of the transactions done during the lockdown were through Pine Labs' ePOS, our Android app.
