It is currently running on a Raspberry Pi and includes a 4-inch display, all housed in a 3D-printed case. The module is connected to a @BtcpayServer, which makes managing merchants & invoices a breeze.💚
We're currently testing this product with a group of selected merchants across Europe to gather feedback and get it ready for production. Stay tuned for some updates next year! 🤞
There are ~5 million vending machines in the US alone, estimated to earn more than 10 billion USD a year. Fees for payment processors are ranging from ~1.5% to 4%. 🤯
