How Smartlink works
Smartlink acts as a bridge between your till and your Ingenico card machine. When a sale is made, the transaction amount is sent automatically from your electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) system to the terminal – no manual entry needed. Once the customer pays, the result is sent back to the till and receipts are printed instantly.
Our team supports you every step of the way, from integration and testing to going live.
