DASH will particularly be using Cashfree Payments’ point of sale solution, ‘softPOS’ to offer it to its 2,000 small merchants in tier-three areas. SoftPOS is a payments acceptance solution that transforms a smartphone into a contactless payment acceptance device. Merchants can use the app to generate UPI QR codes, create payment links, and enable card payments via NFC-based Tap and Pay, and also record and manage cash collections. softPOS also offers payment methods such as wallets, EMI etc. through this solution.
The B2B platform DASH has a network of demand aggregators and fulfillment partners in tier three cities to make those markets accessible for FMCG brands. It has 2000-plus partners in five locations and delivers orders directly to the merchants. Once the order is delivered, the fulfillment partner collects the payment using Cashfree Payments’ softPOS.
“SoftPOS (software point of sale) is a cost-friendly alternative to physical POS (Point of Sale) machines that lets businesses turn any Android phone into a POS device,” said Reeju Datta, Co-Founder, Cashfree Payments.
