Overview

Introduction

SPI is a library that enables your POS to make in-store payments and other transactions. It is a bank-grade solution that seamlessly connects your POS with EFTPOS terminals.

SPI is built to be …

• Resilient — it can be relied upon during a network outage because it can be used while disconnected from the EFTPOS terminal.
• Feature-rich — it supports advanced transaction types and features.
• In your control — it can be used to build the unique features that you require and can integrate with your existing user interface (UI).
