The pandemic continues to change the way people shop, with many consumers around the world and in Bulgaria now using innovative methods for online and contactless payments.
Shopping from the comfort of home, as well as paying with a card or digital wallet, is becoming the new standard. With these new payment methods, some challenges have emerged for business owners.
The advantage of this situation is that there is always someone who creates an innovation to address these challenges. In this case, the innovation is the solution for accepting payments via smartphone, namely myPOS Glass.
myPOS Glass – the mobile softPOS application
The first mobile app in Bulgaria that turns a smartphone into a POS terminal became a reality back in 2020. The innovative service myPOS Glass is part of our modern payment acceptance solutions. This fintech product provides convenience and security for customers by allowing contactless payments.
Glass is an accessible product that enables micro and small businesses to accept card payments without the need for investment in expensive hardware. In fact, this type of service is known as softPOS, or software-based POS system, and operates through the installation of a mobile app directly on the merchant's smartphone.
The Ideal Solution for Small Businesses
The idea that you need to have a large business to afford a POS terminal is now outdated. The myPOS Glass service creates new opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, allowing them to respond quickly and effectively to extraordinary circumstances, such as Covid-19.
Additionally, myPOS Glass helps entrepreneurs tackle challenges and new fintech trends. With it, they can offer an intuitive, convenient, fast, and easy way to accept payments, even on the go.
The app has quickly gained popularity and won awards in the US and Europe, with the most notable accolade being the Innovation in Fintech award at the Fintech Breakthrough Awards in Los Angeles.
More About myPOS Glass
The SoftPOS app myPOS Glass is the first of its kind innovation on the Bulgarian market. The introduction of this service reinforces the trend that consumers, even in Bulgaria, are increasingly trusting digital payment methods. The software-based POS is a simple and effective tool for accepting payments, favored by all types of businesses, but especially those that operate on the go.
Merchants who already use physical POS terminals can easily try out Glass. The only requirement is to install the mobile app from Google Play.
The user-friendly design and intuitive menu make working with the app easier than ever. After receiving a payment, the merchant immediately has access to their funds in their personal myPOS business account. Here, they can view the status of each transaction, track accumulated profits, and access many other features.
A new feature has been added for connecting an external printer via Bluetooth to expand the capabilities of myPOS Glass. Once the printer is set up to work with the app, you can print a receipt or transaction report in addition to sending an electronic receipt. Printer options will also be available in Cash Register mode.

myPOS Glass installs very quickly. The merchant downloads the mobile app from Google Play onto their smartphone. Upon opening, they are given the option to log into an existing profile or create a new one. The device on which the app is installed must have an Android 8.1 operating system, an integrated NFC reader, and support for a stable internet connection.
