Available devices
The Viva.com Terminal App works on both Android devices and iPhones. You can get any device you want from the market and use it with our application, as long as it runs Android version 8.1 or later and has an NFC reader.
However, since most devices out there are consumer devices and, as a business, you may have additional requirements, we have shortlisted several payment and non-payment devices and made them available to you through our eshop here.
You can find a brief guide of the devices and which one to get at: Terminal Properties
Ciontek CS50C | Ciontek CS30PRO | Mini card reader |
PAX A35 | PAX A77 | PAX A80 |
PAX A920 PRO | PAX IM304G | PAX A8900 |
Sunmi P2 SE | Sunmi P2 SmartPad | Sunmi P2 LITE SE |
Which device should I choose?
There are numerous devices available in our store. All the devices are listed with their technical specifications, so study them thoroughly to make an educated selection.
First, you need to understand your needs. Do you need a device fixed on the countertop? Should it be portable? Do you need it to have a printer? Pay close attention to the size of the device, the size of the screen, the capacity of its battery (if you need one).
The most critical decision is whether you need an open device or a traditional terminal.
Open System Devices (Ciontek CS30PRO & CS50C) | Closed System Terminals (PAX & SUNMI) |
Let you download any app from Google Play, allowing you to use a single device for all in-store operations. | You cannot install and use other apps apart from the Viva.com Terminal App. |
Recommendations:
Get a Ciontek CS30 or CS50C if you need to use other apps too.
Get a PAX A35 or a Sunmi P2 Smartpad if you want to fix your device at a certain location to be used connected to a Point of Sale or a cash register that can print receipts.
Get a PAX A80 if you want a device fixed at a certain location to be used connected to a Point of Sale or a cash register but you need it to print its own receipts.
Get a PAX A920 Pro or a Sunmi P2SE if you need a portable device with a printer, and you do not need to use any other apps apart from the Viva.com Terminal App.
Get a PAX A77 or a Sunmi P2SE if you need a portable device without a printer, and you do not need to use any other apps apart from the Viva.com Terminal App.
Get a Mini Reader If:
You plan to use the Viva.com Terminal App with a tablet or a mobile phone that has an NFC reader in a country where customers still prefer to dip the card into the slot rather than doing a contactless transaction, such as in France or Belgium.
You plan to use the Viva.com Terminal App with a tablet or a mobile phone that does not have an NFC reader, e.g., an iPad.
You want to accept card payments on an iPhone and your business is registered in a country where Tap to Pay on iPhone is not available yet.
You are using your phone or your tablet on a countertop and you need an always-connected, small, and affordable device close to the customer.
Note that The Mini Card Reader operates exclusively when paired with a device running the viva.com terminal app, meaning the relevant activation steps are dictated by the app.
