Singapore-based fintech startup Qashier today announced an ‘SME Support Package’ to accelerate the adoption of digital payment solutions amongst local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore.
Qashier’s SME Support Package is open to all Singapore-registered businesses, regardless of annual sales turnover or employee headcount limit. Qashier will immediately approve eligible applicants and provide up to 53% sponsorship of its point-of-sale (POS) and payment solutions, subject to the package of choice. Applications for the sponsorship will run until the end of the year. *For full details of the support packages, please refer to the appendix below
“Qashier strives to be a champion for SMEs by offering products and initiatives that truly address their needs. With the Qashier SME Support Package, we’re eager to lower barriers of entry when it comes to digitalised POS and payment solutions for the wider SME ecosystem – so they can focus on what truly matters to take their business forward,” said Christopher Choo, Co-founder and CEO of Qashier.
In line with the support announcement, Qashier has also introduced its latest line-up of smart POS terminals: QashierX2 and QashierXS, enabling business owners to streamline their operations with a single, fully integrated POS and payment solution.
A first-of-its-kind in Southeast Asia, this powerful device brings together POS software capabilities such as managing inventory, orders, and customer loyalty, alongside payment acceptance across credit cards, mobile payments, e-wallets, QR payments, online payments and loyalty cards all on the same terminal. For merchants, this ensures seamless online-to-offline and offline-to-online payments, greater access to multiple digital payment options, enhanced security and fully in-synced sales and payment records, without needing to set up different physical payment terminals at their storefront.
Bolstered by cloud-based solutions, merchants can also easily access and manage their back-office operations, QashierHQ, via internet browsers anywhere, anytime. From inventory management to transaction records, QashierHQ allows merchants to have a complete view of their interactions with customers, empowering them to make more informed decisions from the insights gleaned.
The new QashierX2 is a state-of-the-art device with a new sleek design focused on providing an upgraded experience for merchants and consumers. With dual screen function and a built-in receipt printer along with integrated payment acceptance, it is the ultimate solution suitable for businesses operating in F&B, beauty and retail industries. It also comes with wireless or wired operation with connectivity across Qashier’s suite of accessories including printers, cash drawers, kitchen display systems and more.
While QashierX2 and QashierXS are similar in capabilities, QashierXS is the company’s lightest terminal, weighing less than 500 grams. The lightweight, but full-function QashierXS is designed to be the easiest POS for SMEs to pick up and use, making it the go-to payment terminal for events, on-the-go businesses and more.
Franklin Zhao Liang, Co-founder and President of Qashier added, “Qashier is thrilled to be providing a complete integrated solution that truly revolutionises how merchants can tap on digital payments to grow their business. Digitalisation is unlocking new growth opportunities for SMEs – and developing innovative solutions is critical to helping them gain a competitive advantage.”
Today, Qashier has over 6,000 merchants across four key markets – Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand. The QashierX2 and QashierXS as well as its existing line-up including QashierXL come with customised solutions to support a wide range of merchants from different industries – F&B, beauty, retail, events and service industries.
