Bitcoin point of sale
A bitcoin point of sale on the phone in your pocket.
BTCPay Server comes with its own Point of Sale app. It runs in a web browser, so a phone or tablet you already own becomes the till: a simple keypad, or a product list with a cart, tips and discounts. It comes with every Myntli store. We don’t sell terminals and we don’t build the till for you. You set it up yourself in a few minutes, and the payments go straight to your wallet.
It takes bitcoin, not cards. Keep your card terminal for everything else.
What it does
BTCPay’s Point of Sale app
A keypad
Type the amount and show the QR code. The light view is nothing but a keypad.
Or a product list
List what you sell, with prices and stock, and let staff build a basket in the cart.
Tips, discounts and tax
Switch on tips, let staff enter a discount in percent, and set a default tax rate.
Any phone or tablet
It runs in the browser. Add it to the home screen and it opens like an app.
Paid to your wallet
Each sale is a BTCPay invoice built from your public key, so the coins land in your own wallet.
No cut of the sale
No percentage and no terminal rental. A month on Myntli costs $29, whether you take ten sales or ten thousand.

- Pick the style: a keypad, or a product list with a cart.

Before you open the till
What it isn’t
No terminal from us
Use a phone or tablet you already have. We don’t make hardware, and we don’t set the till up for you.
Bitcoin, not cards
Customers pay from their own bitcoin wallet. Card payments still need your usual terminal.
Confirmations take time
An on-chain payment shows up within seconds but takes longer to confirm. BTCPay lets you choose how many confirmations to wait for.
Refunds are a new payment
Bitcoin payments are final. To give money back, you send a new payment to the customer.
Questions people ask
What is a crypto POS system?
A till that takes crypto in person. The customer scans a QR code at the counter and pays from their own wallet. BTCPay Server’s version runs in a web browser, so any phone or tablet will do.
Do I need special hardware for a bitcoin POS?
No. BTCPay’s Point of Sale app runs in the browser on any phone or tablet, and you can add it to the home screen so it opens like an app.
Does Myntli set up the point of sale for me?
No. The Point of Sale app comes with your BTCPay store, and you set it up yourself in a few minutes. We run the node behind it.
Can the POS take tips and discounts?
Yes. You can switch on tips, let staff enter a discount in percent, and set a default tax rate.
Does it take card payments?
No. It takes bitcoin. Keep your card terminal for cards.
A till that pays your wallet.
$29 a month and we run the node behind it, or $449 once and we install it on your own server. The Point of Sale app comes with either.
