FOR PAYMENT PROVIDERS

Give your merchants palm payments on the terminals you already run.

Add a VenaPass scanner and our app to the POS terminals you deploy. Your POS app hands VenaPass the sale, we confirm who the customer is, and you authorize the payment as you do today. Your merchants' checkout routine stays the same.

What happens at checkout

  1. 1 · Your POS app The cashier rings up the sale and chooses palm, 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 reference for that customer, signed and valid only for this sale.
  4. 4 · You You authorize the payment from the account or card token you already hold for that customer. The terminal shows approved or declined.

Choose how the payment request flows

VenaPass never holds money or card details. You decide how our confirmation reaches your authorization system.

DEFAULT

Identity mode

VenaPass returns a signed confirmation to your POS app, which sends it with the payment request to your switch or gateway. You check it with our public key and authorize as normal.

Best when you control the POS app on your terminals.

OPTIONAL

Gateway mode

VenaPass confirms the customer, then sends the payment request straight to your gateway, signed. The terminal simply sees approved or declined.

Best when you'd rather not change the POS app. A retried sale is never charged twice.
