Important
For Point mini and Point blue machines, the app is required to perform and manage charges. For POS and SmartPOS, the app is only needed to login with QR Code.
The POS API integrated mode is only available to be operated by a store operator. If it is implemented in self-service mode, it will be in full responsibility of the store since the devices are not enabled to be used in this type of business model.
