What are Trapyfy POS and self-service kiosk?
Trapyfy POS and self-service kiosk are two ways to take payment in person, both running on the same store data as your Telegram shop. POS is checkout completed by a staff member on a Register. Kiosk is a self-service screen the customer operates alone, from browsing to scanning a payment QR code with their own phone. Neither replaces your Telegram storefront — both connect to the same catalogue, pricing, warehouses and orders behind it.
One system, two ways to sell in person
Both run on the same product catalogue, pricing and stock as your Telegram storefront. Choose assisted checkout, self-service, or use both side by side.
01 · Assisted checkout
Assisted POS
Your team completes the sale through Trapyfy Register. It is designed for purchases that need staff guidance, customer support or refund handling.
- Operated by your store team
- Checkout completed through Trapyfy Register
- Best for staffed retail and assisted sales
02 · Independent checkout
Self-service kiosk
Customers browse the catalogue and build their basket on the kiosk, then pay by scanning a QR code with their own phone, without waiting for a member of staff.
- Operated independently by the customer
- Payment completed on the customer’s own phone
- Best for retail, events, fairs and pop-ups
Whichever checkout experience you use, every sale reaches the same Trapyfy catalogue, stock and Orders list.
One catalogue, one stock record, every in-person order
A counter or kiosk sale draws on the same operational data as every other channel — nothing sits in a separate system.
- Products and variants — the live catalogue, including variable products.
- Country-based pricing — the same prices already set for your store.
- Warehouses and inventory — stock tied to the warehouse each POS or kiosk is assigned to.
- Stores and registers — named checkout points every sale can be traced back to.
- Orders and fulfilment — every sale lands in the same Orders list as your online store.
- Receipt templates — printed or digital receipts for in-person sales.

How a self-service kiosk order works
From browsing the catalogue to fulfilment, each kiosk order follows the same connected Trapyfy workflow.
01 · Browse and build
Customers choose what they want
The customer browses live products on the kiosk screen and adds their chosen items to the basket, using the same catalogue available through the online store.
02 · Create and present payment
Trapyfy turns the basket into an order
When checkout begins, Trapyfy creates the order and shows a payment QR code on the kiosk screen.
03 · Pay and fulfil
The paid order reaches your team
The customer scans the QR code and pays on their own phone. Once paid, the order appears in the Trapyfy backend ready for fulfilment.
Where POS and self-service kiosk fit
Different in-person moments call for different setups — sometimes both together.
Retail stores
Add a staff-run till or a self-service kiosk next to your existing counter, using the same catalogue and stock as your Telegram store.
Pop-up shops
Set up a temporary selling point fast, with stock assigned to that pop-up's own warehouse so it never drifts out of sync.
Events and trade shows
Run an assisted POS for higher-touch sales and a self-service kiosk for quick purchases side by side, both feeding the same Orders list.

POS & Self-Service Kiosk FAQs
Quick answers about selling in person with Trapyfy.
A retail POS is checkout completed by a staff member on a Register, suited to higher-touch sales and refunds. A self-service kiosk is operated directly by the customer, who browses and builds a basket on the kiosk, then pays by scanning a QR code with their own phone, without staff assistance.
