Welcome to the Acceptance SmartPOS documentation, your one stop guide to revolutionizing payment processing with secure, real-time transactions on PAX devices. Developed by Tap in collaboration with KNET, this custom app runs on the PAX A920Pro and integrates seamlessly with KNET SDK to tackle common challenges like delayed transaction reporting and financial posting. By enabling instant recording of transactions directly into your system, it eliminates the 24-hour delay for downloading reports, reducing financial errors and reporting risks.

Tailored for Kuwaiti merchants, SmartPOS introduces innovative features not yet available in the local market, giving you a competitive edge through enhanced efficiency, flexibility, and customer satisfaction. Plans are underway to expand to other countries soon.

What is Acceptance SmartPOS?

Acceptance SmartPOS is a specialized application for PAX terminals, designed for secure card-present transactions while offering full integration with your POS system for automated workflows. Unlike KNET's traditional offline model, where transactions are queued and processed later, SmartPOS delivers real-time processing for immediate confirmation and visibility. It supports all business segments (Corporate and SMB) and is currently available exclusively for merchants in Kuwait. Compatible devices include the https://www.paxtechnology.com/a920pro, with future support for the A99 once available in the market. For device details, visit the PAX A920Pro page.
