BBPOS (Browser-Based POS)
BBPOS stands for Browser-Based Point of Sale, a technology solution provided by Cardknox that allows a point-of-sale system to operate directly within a web browser. This application is specifically designed to accept EMV (Europay, MasterCard, and Visa) payments securely while ensuring that the POS system remains out of PCI (Payment Card Industry) scope. By handling sensitive payment information in a manner that complies with industry security standards, the BBPOS system minimizes the merchant's PCI compliance burden. This technology is especially beneficial for businesses seeking a flexible and secure payment processing solution without the need for extensive hardware investments, allowing for scalable and efficient transaction handling across various platforms.
