Service 03

Warm desk scene suggesting a lean checkout: laptop and phone ready for the next customer in line.

In-person point of sale

When the line forms at the gate or the booth, “I’ll Venmo you later” is not a payment strategy. You need a real card checkout with a tiny catalog and zero drama.

A phone or tablet becomes your register: tap, chip, or contactless through your processor—so parents get through the gate and vendors get home with reconciled sales.

Built for short menus

Entry fees, day passes, a few produce SKUs, merch tables—if it fits on one screen, the flow stays fast.

Field-ready

Sun glare, dust, and shaky LTE are normal here. We design for the parking lot, not the cubicle.

Same stack as the rest

When you already trust us for sites or text message payment links, POS is another lane on the same rails—not another vendor relationship.

Where it shines

This is intentionally not a department-store POS. It is for storefronts and volunteers who sell a small set of products or services and need dependable cards in person.

  • Youth sports & school events — tournament entry, parking, wristbands, concession pre-sales: one queue, one device, receipts that make treasurers happy.
  • Farmers markets & makers — a handful of price points, occasional custom totals, and customers who expect chip or tap, not “which Cash App is yours again?”
  • Pop-ups & community fundraisers — short runs, borrowed tables, rotating volunteers: checkout that trains in minutes.

The problem

  • Full-retail POS software built for fifty variants and back-office reports slows everyone down when you only sell six things today.
  • Peer-to-peer apps scatter money across personal phones; treasurers spend Sunday night stitching spreadsheets.
  • “We’ll invoice them Monday” does not help the volunteer holding a clipboard in a crosswind.

How it works

  1. We set up in-person (card-present) payments with your processor and the hardware path that fits—often Tap to Pay on a modern phone or tablet.
  2. You load a short catalog: fixed prices, day-of adjustments when you need them, optional open amounts for donations or variable fees.
  3. Staff sign in, ring up, hand the device for PIN or tap, and the batch is documented for whoever closes the books.

Apple Tap to Pay and some Android Tap to Pay paths require supported devices, regions, and the right terminal or tap-to-pay setup—including business verification where your processor or the card networks require it. We map that during onboarding so you are not surprised on game day.

Also need remote pay?

Deposits and balances after the job still belong in text message payment links. Many operators use links for “pay later” and POS for “pay here, right now.”

Pricing

Your proposed rate

3.1% + $0.10

Per successful in-person (card-present) charge—tap, chip, or contactless at the device—with Amarillo Logic’s platform work folded into the same headline number. Setup and any ongoing support are scoped after we understand volume, device path, and whether this sits beside text message links or accounting integrations.

No surprise “enterprise” tier for selling three SKUs at a Saturday market.

Rough event count, typical ticket prices, and whether volunteers rotate hourly—we’ll reply with what “live” would look like for your crew.
