FOR MERCHANTS

Palm payments at the counter you already have.

Plug a VenaPass scanner into your POS terminal, install one app, and point your POS's payment setting at it. Your POS software, your payment provider and your staff routine stay the same.

VenaPass NGN 5,000.00 Hold your palm over the scanner
Works with the POS you already have Plug the VenaPass scanner into your terminal's USB port. It runs on the terminal's power, and the VenaPass app shows the customer the amount and the palm prompt on your existing screen.

What happens at checkout

  1. 1 · Your POS The cashier rings up the sale and chooses palm as the payment method, as they would choose card.
  2. 2 · VenaPass app The customer scans their palm on the scanner plugged into the terminal. They see the amount while they scan.
  3. 3 · VenaPass We confirm who it is and return your own customer ID, signed and valid only for this sale.
  4. 4 · Your provider Your provider charges the payment method you already hold for that customer. The POS shows approved or declined.

Choose how the money moves

VenaPass never holds money or card details. You decide who sends the charge to your payment provider.

DEFAULT

Identity mode

VenaPass tells your POS who the customer is. Your POS passes that to your payment provider, which charges the customer as it would a card on file.

Best when your provider accepts VenaPass identity, or you control the checkout software.

OPTIONAL

Gateway mode

VenaPass confirms the customer, then forwards the charge to your payment provider for you, and your POS simply sees approved or declined.

Best when you can't change the checkout software. A retried sale is never charged twice.
