SONIQ Pay / Self-service
Self-service & unattended

Take payments without a till.

Fit a sealed contactless reader to your machine or kiosk and customers pay with a tap. Your machine asks SONIQ Pay for the payment, and the takings show up next to the rest of your sales.

How it works

Your machine asks, the reader takes the card

1
A sealed reader on the machine

A pre-certified contactless reader is fitted to the machine or kiosk. It runs in a locked mode, so customers only ever see the payment screen.

2
Your machine requests the payment

Your machine, kiosk or app tells SONIQ Pay the amount. The reader lights up and the customer taps a card, phone or watch.

3
You see every sale

Payments land in your SONIQ Pay account with each fee shown line by line, next to your till and online sales.

Supported readers
  • Ciontek CM30 contactless reader
  • PAX IM30 unattended terminal

Both run a locked-down launcher, so the device stays on payments and nothing else. Tell us what your machine is and we’ll confirm the fit.
