TRD Crypto Point-of-Sale (POS)
Bridge the gap between digital assets and traditional commerce
The TRD Network Crypto Point-of-Sale (POS) ecosystem is a dual-layer payment infrastructure designed to bridge the gap between digital assets and traditional commerce. It provides businesses with the tools to accept, verify, and settle cryptocurrency transactions in real-time. The ecosystem comprises two primary interfaces: dedicated hardware terminals for physical locations and a web-based integration suite for digital and remote commerce.
TRD Terminal (Hardware Solution)
The TRD Terminal is a dedicated countertop hardware device engineered for physical retail environments. It functions as a standalone secure gateway that interacts with the TRD Network to generate unique, transaction-specific QR codes.
Mechanism: The merchant enters the fiat amount; the terminal calculates the crypto equivalent in real-time and displays a dynamic QR code.
Security: Uses a hardware-isolated environment to ensure transaction integrity and protect against external interference.
TRD Scan & Go / Web-Based POS (Digital Solution)
For e-commerce and businesses without a physical storefront, TRD provides a web-based embeddable dashboard and dynamic QR widget.
Embeddable Dashboard: A customizable interface that can be integrated into existing websites or mobile applications.
Payment Links: Allows merchants to generate secure payment requests that can be sent via email or messaging platforms, enabling remote crypto-to-fiat transactions.
How It Works: The Transaction Flow
The TRD POS system utilizes a specific four-step process to ensure security and eliminate merchant risk:
Initiation:
The merchant inputs the sale value. The system (Hardware or Web) pulls live market data to determine the precise amount of cryptocurrency required.
QR Generation:
A dynamic, one-time-use QR code is generated. This code contains the specific wallet address and the exact amount, reducing human error in manual address entry.
Real-Time Verification:
Once the customer scans and approves the transaction from their wallet (Universal Compatibility), the TRD Network monitors the blockchain for confirmation.
Instant Settlement (TRD Payout Guard):
To protect the merchant from price volatility, the system instantly converts the received cryptocurrency into a stablecoin (USDT/USDC) or local fiat currency. These funds are then settled into the merchant’s account.
Key Features
✅ Universal Wallet Compatibility: Supports any standard cryptocurrency wallet (Mobile, Desktop, or Hardware) capable of scanning a QR code.
✅ Multi-Asset Support: Capability to accept over 100+ digital assets, including BTC, ETH, and major stablecoins.
✅ Volatility Shield: The "Payout Guard" mechanism locks in the exchange rate at the moment of transaction, ensuring the merchant receives the exact fiat value of the sale.
✅ Zero Chargeback Guarantee: Since blockchain transactions are irreversible once confirmed, merchants are protected from the "chargeback fraud" common in traditional credit card processing.
✅ Real-Time Monitoring: A comprehensive merchant dashboard provides live tracking of all incoming payments, transaction history, and settlement status.
Benefits to the Merchant
➜ Reduced Transaction Costs: By bypassing traditional banking intermediaries and legacy merchant "taxes," the system offers industry-leading low processing fees.
➜ Global Settlement: Businesses can accept payments from international customers without worrying about cross-border bank fees or currency conversion delays.
➜ Instant Liquidity: Unlike traditional systems that may hold funds for 3–7 days, TRD facilitates near-instant fund availability.
➜ Privacy & Data Security: Encrypted transaction paths ensure that both merchant and customer data remain protected and compliant with modern data standards.
Targeted Verticals
The versatility of the dual hardware/web approach makes the system suitable for:
👉 Retail & Hospitality: Luxury boutiques, hotels, and restaurants using physical terminals for seamless guest experiences.
👉 High-Value Assets: Automotive sales and real estate where instant, secure verification of large sums is required for high-stakes transactions.
👉 Service Providers: Health, beauty, and wellness clinics using the web-based appointment and payment dashboard to manage client flow.
👉 E-Commerce: Online marketplaces utilizing the TRD Integration Suite for global checkout, ensuring reduced cart abandonment and lower fees.
👉 Travel & Tourism: International travel agencies and tour operators managing high-volume bookings and cross-border settlements without traditional banking delays or high currency conversion costs.
Application and Onboarding Process
Businesses interested in deploying the TRD Crypto POS (Hardware or Web) follow a standardized onboarding protocol:
Inquiry: Submission of a Partnership Inquiry via the official portal (pos.trdn.io).
Verification: Business compliance check to ensure alignment with local jurisdictional regulations regarding digital asset handling.
Deployment:
· Hardware: Shipping and plug-and-play activation of the TRD Terminal.
· Web: API key provision and integration of the web-based dashboard or QR widget.
4. Configuration (Payout Guard): Setting up preferences for settlement (defining the destination for settled fiat or stablecoins). This stage allows merchants to choose between 100% stablecoin conversion, partial fiat holdings, or direct bank settlements where supported.
Disclaimer
TRD Network services involve digital assets which carry inherent market risks. The "Payout Guard" is designed to mitigate volatility at the point of sale; however, users should be aware of the regulatory requirements in their specific jurisdiction. TRD does not provide financial or tax advice. Availability of certain settlement options (fiat vs. stablecoin) may vary by region based on local compliance and banking partnerships.
