In the last few years, you may have noticed that many of your fellow merchants have been using the Maya One device for processing cashless transactions with customers. Indeed, the Maya One has since become a fixture in numerous quick service restaurants, petrol stations, retail stores, pharmacies, and even select government offices. But on the heels of this successful product, Maya has recently launched a pocket-sized version of it called the Maya ONE Lite. This handy little machine is tailor- made for use by startups, ecommerce shops, boutique stores and franchises, restaurants, and other types of small-to-medium-sized enterprise (SME).
If you own a small business and want to improve your payment ecosystem, getting the Maya ONE Lite is the way to go. Here are six things that set the Maya ONE Lite apart from other payment solutions—and why it’s likely to become your next favorite one.
One of the most unique advantages of the Maya ONE Lite is that it’s portable. You won’t need to hook it up to an external power source the entire time you’re using it, unlike other point-of-sale devices. All you need to do is charge the unit using a Type-C charging cable, just like you would a mobile phone. And, just like a smartphone, the Maya ONE Lite can be carried around in your pocket and taken anywhere you conduct business. That includes your store, a meetup point, or even your customer’s home or office.
In essence, the Maya ONE Lite gives merchants the ability to do “cashless on delivery” transactions. Your customers will have the option to complete real-time, face-to-face cashless payments with you, which should definitely distinguish you from other businesses that may only offer cash on delivery. Indeed, by purchasing the Maya ONE Lite, you can make cashless payments possible wherever your customers are.
Another great reason to consider the Maya ONE Lite is its sheer versatility. It accepts a number of the most widely used cashless payment methods, and in the future, it will accommodate even more. The device takes credit card, debit card, and prepaid card payments for cards on the VISA, MasterCard, and JCB payment networks. It accepts dip (EMV) and tap (NFC) payments, too. And of course, it’ll be a breeze for your customers to pay directly from their Maya e-wallets using their QR code reader.
Soon, the Maya ONE Lite will also allow cashless transactions from other payment platforms like WeChat Pay and GrabPay. Whichever payment method your customers prefer, your small business will be able to satisfy their needs, thanks to the Maya ONE Lite.
Most small business owners get antsy about upgrading to new technology because there’s often a steep learning curve involved. But you don’t have to worry about the user interface on the Maya ONE Lite, an Android-powered device. You’ll find it comfortably familiar and easy to use while you facilitate cashless payments with your customers.
All the user needs is Wi-Fi or mobile data access to get the Maya ONE Lite going. Simply turn on the device’s power button, connect it to the Internet, and you’ll be all set to transact!
Both you and your customers can say goodbye to delayed, inaccurate, or missed payments for goods and services. The Maya ONE Lite will also increase your efficiency at managing your payments, which could save your small business a lot of money.
Think about difficult situations you may have faced when customers delayed payments or accidentally paid the wrong amounts using cash. Then, think of the opposite situation in which all your payments are completed exactly and on time. Your new Maya ONE Lite will make that second outcome the default outcome to expect, which will keep your small business healthy and financially stable.
Not only is the Maya ONE Lite one of the best solutions against human error in customer payment. It’s also an EMV-certified device, which strengthens your customers’ level of protection against credit card fraud. And like its older cousin, the Maya One, the Maya ONE Lite is also PCI-DSS compliant. This means that the device follows the Payment Card Industry’s standards for secure transaction environments using credit cards.
As a small business owner, you’re just as responsible as a bigger company for safeguarding your customers’ personal and financial data. You can assure them that every time they use the Maya ONE Lite device with you, their information is in safe hands.
As a Maya merchant, you can definitely save time accounting for all your transactions, as you are provided access to Maya Manager. It’s a user-friendly dashboard that can help you easily manage your cash flow with detailed automated reports and notification for all your sales transactions.
Despite its size, the Maya One Lite is quite capable of delivering a big impact to your small business operations. It allows your customers to pay safely using a lot of cashless options, and from virtually anywhere as long as you have an Internet connection. Moreover, it can make you even more efficient with your finances, which you need to be if you want your business to grow.
Add big value to your small business today by using the pocket-sized but powerful Maya ONE Lite!
