Built on Ingenico’s AXIUM Android platform and integrated with the NMI payment acceptance platform, the solution provides partners and their merchants with a flexible, all-in-one point-of-sale solution for modern in-person payment acceptance.

In this episode of the Merchant Sales Podcast, James Shepherd sits down with Roman Vanegas from The POS Cloud to explore how agents and ISOs can overcome two major point-of-sale challenges: managing installations and support, and securing processing business when merchants want to keep their existing system.
They discuss processor-agnostic integrations, outsourced hardware deployment, implementation strategies, and how having the right POS expertise can help agents close more deals without taking on every technical headache themselves.
