Compatible Card Terminals – Overview

In principle, you can use any card terminal with Belbo. The decisive difference lies in direct integration: If a terminal is directly connected to Belbo, Belbo automatically transfers the payment amount – manual entry at the terminal is not necessary.

Compatibility by device

Which terminals can be directly integrated depends on whether you operate Belbo on an Android tablet, an iPad, or a computer (Windows/Mac):

ZVT Terminals

ZVT (Payment Traffic Terminal) is the standard protocol for card terminals prevalent in Germany and Austria. Most stationary EC terminals from European manufacturers support ZVT and can thus be directly connected to Belbo.

Known compatible devices (selection):

wallee Terminals (Switzerland) – ZVT in introduction

wallee is a Swiss payment service provider whose terminals are based exclusively on PAX hardware. Wallee is currently expanding ZVT support – integration via the ZVT protocol is available but is still being actively developed. Devices such as the PAX A50 and similar wallee models can already be connected to Belbo now, but are still in the beta phase.

TIM Terminals

TIM (Terminal Interface Module) is the standard protocol for card terminals in Switzerland, used by Worldline / SIX. TIM terminals can only be directly connected to a computer (Windows/Mac).

Known compatible devices:

SumUp Solo

The SumUp Solo is the only SumUp model with direct Belbo integration. It is compatible on all platforms – Android tablet, iPad, and computer – and requires neither Belbo Satellite nor a WLAN connection to the terminal. The connection runs over the internet via SumUp account.
