Stripe Terminal is a mobile point of sale (mPOS) system that combines a set of software development kits (SDKs) and application programming interfaces (APIs) to produce a complete checkout experience over not only web apps, but also mobile apps as well.
Stripe hardware is ready for Europay/Mastercard/Visa (EMV), as well as for contactless payment methods like Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. Some businesses like Glossier and Warby Parker are using Stripe Terminal to drive both in-store and online payments.
