Octopus App for Business

The all-in-one Octopus App for Business allows merchants to receive payment from customers using Octopus card or Octopus Wallet. It is a simple, convenient and reliable payment acceptance solution. An Android or iOS mobile device¹ installed with the Octopus App for Business works like a typical Octopus reader when a customer places his or her Octopus card* against the NFC area at the back of a merchant's mobile device. The day-to-day transaction handling has never been so easy!

The Octopus Mobile POS is designed for retailers and taxi drivers. When paired with a Bluetooth-enabled Android or iOS mobile device¹ with the Octopus App for Business installed, it allows customers or passengers to pay retailers or taxi drivers by tapping their Octopus on the Mobile POS display or scanning the QR code on the display. There's no need to handle bank notes or coins, ensuring merchants and customers enjoy more peace of mind!

The latest version of the Octopus App for Business extends the battery usage and standby time of the Mobile POS, which now lasts up to 8 hours per charge, providing merchants a better payment acceptance experience.
