Gold wallet explains the difference between a mobile phone card reader and a traditional POS machine

The so-called "hand brush" is the mobile phone card reader, can not be replaced by the mobile phone pos machine, because the official definition of the mobile phone pos machine is built in the mobile phone with rf-sim function card, this kind of thing is different from the hand brush. And the traditional pos machine we don't have to say much, is the pos machine that merchants are often using now. We can divide the hand brush into an audio pos machine and a Bluetooth POS machine, all of which are external devices that need to rely on the mobile phone APP for consumption and other transactions.

What is the difference between these two external devices? First of all, it is the hardware cost of the equipment. The hardware cost of the traditional POS machine is much larger than that of the mobile phone card reader. Therefore, the price of most traditional pos machines on the market is much higher than that of the hand brush. In addition, there is a qualitative difference in the amount of credit card. Due to the inconvenience of the operation of the mobile phone card reader and the habit of the users of the traditional POS machine, it is impossible to change the amount of the traditional POS machine is much larger than the amount of the hand brush.

However, it is also because of their respective characteristics that they all have a certain market share, and the cost of the mobile phone card reader is not high enough to have a certain ability to occupy.

One advantage of the traditional pos machine is that it can provide small tickets, which are not available in most hand brushes, but some hand brushes can provide electronic signatures, but this kind of electronic signature is too much trouble, with your fingers on the screen of the phone. I have thought that many people will not be willing to do this.

Speaking of the problem of hand brushing, is there a problem with the traditional pos machine? The price is too high, there is no way to promote it! Moreover, the stability of the platform is really elusive.

Anyway, between the two is a kind of adjustment of the market, complementary products, not two products that you live and die, should be positioned in different groups, rather than killing in the market, because each has its own advantages and can complement each other, one Payment companies, multiple end products, can make a company more humane, rather than staying on a product.
