Bring payments and business tools together with ReadyPoint
Talus launched ReadyPoint, a mobile point-of-sale solution that turns smartphones and tablets into payment acceptance and business management devices. Powered by Ingenico's SoftPOS technology, ReadyPoint enables merchants to accept contactless payments without adding a separate card reader. The system combines payment acceptance with inventory management, customer engagement, business operations and reporting capabilities.
Talus said ReadyPoint is designed for merchants operating on the go as well as brick-and-mortar businesses that want employees to be able to serve customers away from a fixed checkout counter. Potential users include contractors and installers, field-service providers, automotive businesses, boutiques and specialty retailers.
Accept payments anywhere
ReadyPoint supports NFC tap-to-pay transactions as well as payment links, QR codes and manual card entry. A device's camera can also be used for barcode scanning.
Ingenico's SoftPOS technology is certified under the Payment Card Industry Mobile Payments on COTS, or MPoC, standard. ReadyPoint also supports device sharing and authentication for businesses whose employees use the same equipment.
"ReadyPoint reflects how strong partnerships can help businesses combine secure payment acceptance with the flexibility and mobility they need to operate more effectively," said Jaime Hawkins, Ingenico's head of North America.
Talus CEO Kim Fitzsimmons highlighted dedicated merchant accounts and support as differentiators for the platform. She said ReadyPoint's digital merchant application provides instant approvals, onboarding and activation. Fitzsimmons contrasted the approach with payment facilitator models in which merchants may be exposed to risks associated with other sub-merchants sharing the environment. Talus also provides 24/7 U.S.-based support.
Give resellers another option
Following a soft launch, ReadyPoint is now generally available through the Talus reseller channel. ISOs and merchant level salespeople offering the product receive pre- and post-sales support, revenue-sharing programs, and access to the Talus Partner Hub. The online resource provides sales materials, training videos, customer demonstrations, white papers and residual tracking.
Talus said reseller partners can also draw on its full-service provider technology stack, giving them options for building broader payment offerings around ReadyPoint. The company showcased ReadyPoint with Ingenico at the Western States Acquirers Association Annual Conference in Palm Springs, Calif., in September 2026. For more information, visit taluspay.com.
