Contactless payments in Portugal have grown impressively recently, accounting for almost half of all transactions.

Consumers prefer contactless for its speed and simplicity. By bringing the card or mobile device close to the terminal, the purchase is made instantly, with no need to enter the PIN for amounts up to a certain limit. This convenience reduces queues and waiting times, improving the shopping experience.

For retailers, especially small and medium-sized ones, adopting contactless
solutions are essential to remain competitive. This is where SmartPOS comes in, state-of-the-art payment terminals that support various forms of payment, including contactless cards and digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. SmartPOS offer numerous benefits:

• Speed and Efficiency: With instant transactions, SmartPOS helps manage queues and improve service.
