Worldline, a global leader in payment services, announce a strategic partnership with Castles Technology to provide cutting-edge in-person payment solutions in North America. „This partnership is to provide the premier solution for ISVs by combining competitive advantages and collaborating on an advanced SoftPOS solution.” – according to the press release.

SoftPOS, a software-based Point of Sale, allows merchants to securely accept payments directly on a phone, tablet, or other Android mobile device, bypassing the need for additional hardware. This solution significantly reduces costs associated with traditional POS hardware and can enhance the merchant experience with increased mobility, faster checkout times, and easy integrations.

Worldline specializes in delivering top-tier payments technology to Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), and Banks, in numerous vertical markets across North America. Castles Technology offers advanced Android payment technology, which is widely preferred by merchants worldwide for its reliability and efficiency.
