Zoho Launches POS Hardware Integrated With Its Finance Suite

The launch brings in‑store payments into Zoho’s finance stack under RBI‑approved payment operations.

Overview

  • The POS lineup includes all‑in‑one and smart terminals plus static QR with soundbox, supporting cards, UPI and contactless over 4G, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth.
  • Zoho announced the hardware at Global Fintech Fest 2025 as it extends Zoho Payments beyond the online gateway introduced in 2024.
  • The payments arm holds an RBI payment‑aggregator license and BBPOU status, and it has partnerships with NPCI’s NBBL and banks including ICICI, SBI, Kotak and Axis.
  • New capabilities accompany the devices, including payroll payouts through Zoho Payroll, virtual accounts for collections and marketplace settlement tools.
  • Zoho plans to bring Zoho Pay into its Arattai app after sign‑ups spiked roughly 100x to about 350,000 per day, prompting emergency infrastructure scaling.
