Hybrid (selected products can be batched on individual terminals)
FastCash offers a third type of transaction mode, Hybrid. Hybrid mode allows the network operator to determine both the product and the quantity of each to batch for a merchant. Batched products cut down transaction time (under 7 seconds), which is extremely beneficial in the retail environment. The Hybrid mode also allows the more expensive and cash-only types of products to be delivered on demand. The fully configurable Hybrid mode is unique to the industry. |
