Paytm has launched the country’s first pocket Android POS device for contactless ordering and payment at an inaugural price of Rs 499 per month to empower SMEs with technology-led solutions.

Renu Satti, Paytm, Sr. Vice President said, “We innovate products & services that are aligned with our mission of enabling SMEs with technology-led solutions. We are confident that this affordable pocket-sized Paytm Android POS device will enable everyone from SMEs to delivery personnel of Kirana Stores to collect payments safely. It is our endeavour to help merchants & traders to easily digitize their business operations, without any investment in technology or backend infrastructure. Our Paytm for Business app, Khata, and payout services are providing the much-needed digitization support to businesses to improve their efficiency & supporting them to join the Digital India mission.”

It supports cloud-based software for billing, works with 4G SIM cards, supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Paytm is looking to generate 2 lakh devices within the next few months to generate over 20 million transactions per month.
