These services include:

• POS Buddy
• Webhooks and,
• A Business 2 Business API.

Each of these services offer the luxury of convenience to the merchant by means of a concept referred to as a "Payments Blackbox".

This ultimately means that everything is done in house and in the background once a merchant has been successfully integrated without having to code and recode every time a change or addition has been made to the above services.

Now lets take a closer look at each of the services mentioned above.

MPOS - Companion API

The MPOS companion API allows the merchant to take payments on their devices and apps by means of an API which is made from their POS App to the Ecentric payment App.
This API call leverages of the functionality of the Android Intent interface which handles the communication between apps existing on the same device.

For this functionality to work, you must have both your POS App and Ecentric Payment App downloaded on the same device.

Remote POS - POSBuddy Plugin

The POS Buddy App allows the merchants to take payments via a Payment Device without the merchant physically having to input the amount owed by the customer onto the payment device.
The Pos Buddy App is integrated directly into the Pay App thus once you click "pay" on your POS, the payment will automatically bring up pay screen on the payment device for customers to make Payment.

B2B API

The B2B API provides you with web-based REST API which you can use to manage your Retail transactions.

Once connected to the Endpoint, you will be able to send an HTTP request to the Endpoint to:

• Search for transactions
• Retrieve a specific transaction by means of the UUID
• Process Card-not-present refunds.

Each of the above mentioned API calls require a signed Header and set of parameters to ensure the function is performed correctly.
