  1. Would you prefer a payments solution that integrates with the free Yoco Point of Sale App?

    The Yoco POS has several free tools for tracking, reporting and managing your sales, stock and staff. Create or import your products list and provide your staff with unique and secure logins. Get insights into your business performance and watch your business grow in real time.

  2. Do you have staff who need to perform a secure handover between payments?

    Create unique logins for your staff, manage their permission settings, and provide secure handover between shifts with Staff Switching on any of our Yoco Khumo or Neo Touch card machines in standalone mode, or for a perfect countertop solution, you can integrate the Yoco Neo Touch with the Yoco POS to unlock these features via the app! πŸ‘‡
    ​

  3. Do you need to be able to print receipts?
    Depending on some of the other great features you may also like included in your setup, we have two different options for businesses who need to be able to print their receipts. All our other card machines send free digital receipts via SMS and email.

Yoco card machines in a nutshell

πŸ”· The Yoco Go is perfect if you’re accepting card payments for the first time. Connect to your smartphone with Bluetooth, and get paid wherever business takes you. The Yoco Go operates by using the Yoco POS App and connecting to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. Note: You'll also need a stable WiFi or hotspot to process transactions.
​



πŸ“± The Yoco Khumos are our premium standalone card machines, meaning they don't need a smartphone or tablet to work and they don't use the Yoco POS App, or integrate with other POS software. Instead, the Khumo comes with its own smart tech to track your Products and Staff, and do secure handovers with Staff Switching- read more here.

​
🟦 Yoco Khumo: Our full colour touch, smart card machine built for businesses looking to grow. Process payments in under 3 seconds with unlimited 4G data for your transactions. But, you can also connect to WiFi if your signal is spotty.

​
πŸ–¨οΈ Yoco Khumo Print: Literally sell in a second – it’s our fastest, most powerful machine ever! Get all the flipping magic of the classic Khumo (above), but with a built-in printer for even greater convenience.


πŸ“³ The Yoco Neo Touch is our flagship card machine for businesses that just want to get paid - quickly, easily, every day. Process payments in under 3 seconds with unlimited 4G data (for life). But, you can also connect to WiFi if your signal is spotty. Colour touchscreen, and all day battery with a slick charging station. They can be used as a standalone, so they don't need a smartphone or tablet to take payments, or need to use a POS. They don’t use a product catalogue, but you can however set up cash payments, tips and staff switching on the card machine.

The Neo Touch can now connect to a POS, using the cloud. This is a perfect choice if you have countertop space or would like to unlock extra features for your Neo Touch using the Yoco POS, the Loyverse POS, the Lightspeed K-Series POS, or Lightspeed X-Series POS (other third party integration partners coming soon).
