Hardware that works with Pause POS
Buy the devices we recommend from a UAE retailer, or use the tablet or PC you already have. We set everything up on site, import your products and train your team.
Device prices are approximate UAE retailer prices in October 2026, including 5% VAT. Our on-site setup is AED 499 excl. VAT, free with a yearly plan. Your monthly plan is billed separately.
Standard hardware you own
You buy standard commercial equipment from UAE dealers or retailers and own it outright, with no proprietary lock-in. We supply the software and guide your setup.

Keep your bank's card machine
Keep your own bank card machine and merchant account. Pause POS works with any card machine, including those from banks and providers such as FAB, Mashreq, Network International, ADCB, Geidea and Paymob, which are not affiliated with us. The cashier takes the card payment on your terminal and taps Card in Pause POS, so every sale is recorded and your cash-up matches. You don't change your merchant account or cancel anything.
