Process payments with Linkly

Process payments with Linkly

Linkly has supplied payment integration solutions to Australia for over 20 years, previously under the name PC-EFTPOS. The 'Linkly Cloud' is a system developed by Linkly as a hosted payment integration system, allowing the PIN pad to connect to the merchant’s POS directly via internet connection instead of to the POS via serial or USB port and without requiring any software installation.

Currently, Linkly operates in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brunei, Kenya, Nigeria, and Egypt.

Payment processing platforms do not require a subscription add-on in Cin7 Core.

Prerequisites

  • At least one POS register added to your base subscription.

  • Setting up POS - Basics (required)

  • You will need a production PIN pad that supports Linkly Cloud. This PIN pad should be requested from your bank.

  • Linkly Cloud account credentials to integrate POS with Linkly Cloud payment system. Please note that a Linkly Cloud account is available for 1 PIN pad only. If you have multiple PIN pads, you will need as many accounts as you have PIN pads.
