With the outbreak of mobile Internet, payment methods are becoming more and more dazzling, mobile payment has penetrated into various subtle life scenarios, payment methods have changed, traditional POS machines face the challenge. At the same time, merchants need to manage their stores through intelligent POS machines. In 2014, the first intelligent pos machine was launched, and then it began to develop at a high speed. It is understood that as of now, the penetration rate of intelligent POS machines in the entire POS machine has exceeded 1%. Industry insiders expect that with the further increase in mobile payment penetration, the proportion of smart POS machines in the entire POS machine will increase rapidly.

The traditional POS terminals in the market in the next few years will gradually be replaced by smart POS. According to industry analysts, the penetration rate of smart POS will exceed 50% within five years.

From 2009 to 2015, the scale of China's non-cash transactions and the scale of mobile payment transactions have increased significantly, and explosive growth has been achieved in 2015. From 2010 to 2015, the scale and proportion of China Mobile (3G/4G) users continued to rise. As of 2015, the number of 3G/4G users reached 790 million, accounting for 60.1%, and 87.1% of consumers said they used mobile payment.

On March 18, 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a new regulation for bank card processing fees, which significantly reduced the level of fees. For example, the service fee for the catering industry was reduced by more than 50%, and the department store industry was reduced by more than 20%. This fee rate adjustment was interpreted by the industry as a counterattack against the two-dimensional code lineup. As rates decrease, more merchants are willing to access POS machines, not to mention smart POS machines that combine scanning code and card swipe functions.

Closed VS open
