Payment Terminals for Everyone!
How payyap Brings Cashless Payments and SMEs Together
In a world that is becoming increasingly cashless, a merchant’s success is directly linked to the reliability of their payment terminal. Being able to use such terminals without a basic fee and with as little hassle as possible is crucial for many small and medium-sized businesses. This is where payyap comes in. Developed by Swiss experts in modern payment solutions, the payyap system ensures that card payments can be accepted anywhere – from pop-up stores and market stalls to busy restaurants. The invisible engine behind it? SIM cards provided by Digital Republic.
The Challenge: Maximum Availability Everywhere
The advantages of cashless payment mean that more and more customers are hardly ever carrying cash with them. We have become accustomed to being able to make contactless and cashless payments wherever we are.
This poses a major challenge, especially for small retailers and restaurants or temporary locations such as market stalls. Those who do not have a cashless POS system automatically serve a smaller customer segment.
Operating a payment terminal comes with its own set of requirements:
- A cash register system for recording items and closing out the day
- An internet connection
- A payment provider that processes the transactions
- The hardware, i.e., the terminal itself
The Solution: payyap and 5G Mobile Connectivity Provided by Digital Republic
The experts at Baldegger Sortec AG in Belp have developed payyap, an all-in-one solution that allows you to accept cashless payments wherever you are, without any basic fees or technical knowledge.

Payyap can be used either via one of the available terminals (optionally also with a receipt printer) or with an NFC-enabled Android smartphone as a 100% app solution, making mobile POS systems affordable and profitable even for small businesses or those that only need the solution temporarily.
To ensure a stable connection anytime, anywhere, payyap relies on SIM cards provided by Digital Republic.
Scalable and Flexible, Including Event Mode and Branch Management
The great thing about payyap’s digital solution is its flexibility. Its range of functions goes far beyond pure cash register functions. In addition to accepting all common payment methods such as cash, vouchers, debit and credit cards, TWINT, and even payment on account, payyap offers:
An Event Mode
payyap’s event functions ensure that visitor flow remains uninterrupted and transactions remain fast. Express checkout and deposit functions for rental items guarantee that payment does not become a bottleneck, even when visitor numbers are high.
It is also possible to combine stationary cash registers and mobile terminals. As an affordable ad hoc solution, the devices can also be rented from a price of CHF 77 per week.
Employee and Branch Management
payyap is also equipped for larger companies with multiple locations. The app can be used to create employee profiles with specific permissions, assign branches, including their own reports, define branch managers, and create VAT statements that comply with Swiss regulations.
Stable Connection Everywhere
Digital Republic’s connectivity is just as simple and flexible as payyap’s POS solution. In addition to payyap, we also connect various other mobile payment systems with stable and fast 5G internet.
Making modern solutions such as payyap possible has been Digital Republic’s stated goal since our founding 10 years ago. Accordingly, our data SIM cards are tailored to a wide variety of applications.
