Adyen makes Shuttle mobile POS offering available across Europe

The solution is EMV (Europay, MasterCard, Visa) compliant, allowing merchants to accept all credit and debit cards that are widely used across Europe.

Via the Shuttle offering, which was launched at simultaneous events in London, Amsterdam and Berlin, Adyen currently provides infrastructure for all types of point-of-sale payments, with all three channels directly connected to the Adyen back office, requiring only a single point of administration.

Shuttle is a standalone mPOS device that connects to iOS and Android smartphones or tablets wirelessly via a Bluetooth connection. To use, shoppers key their pin codes into the device and the transaction is verified offline or online. The result is then shown on Shuttle and the smartphone or tablet device, with the receipt emailed to the customer. Shuttle communicates with the Adyen backoffice payment system through the smartphone or tablet’s internet connection.

Shuttle has been developed to bring mobility to point-of-sale commerce, accommodating everything from small specialist stores to medium-to-large sized and international businesses, enabling merchants to accept chip-and-PIN transactions on any credit or debit card. The standard Adyen application allows for payment acceptance without any extra programming and for merchants with their own payment applications or POS software, an API is available to integrate payments via the device.

Adyen supports all relevant sales channels, including online, mobile and POS, and can process up to 200 different payment methods, 187 transaction currencies and 14 settlement currencies used across six continents. Adyen works with many global customers including SoundCloud, Getty Images, Benetton, KLM, PopCap Games, Greenpeace and Vodafone.
