Pepper Library
Facilitates POS terminal integration for all PC-based POS systems.
Which IT environments was Pepper Library developed for?
Pepper Library is designed for traditional, PC-based POS systems. Pepper is integrated into the POS software as a library via the standardized Pepper API — and works even without an internet connection.
Pepper Library can be integrated into all common POS software solutions that operate independently of a network connection (thick clients). For mobile POS systems (e.g., Android-based POS), we developed PepperQik.
With Pepper Library, POS terminals are connected via the communication interfaces provided by the terminal (TCP/IP, serial, etc.). Detailed documentation of this connection process is available in the Pepper Support Portal.

How to implement it
To integrate Pepper Library into your POS software, you first download the library, the developer documentation and a free test license from the Pepper Support Portal.
Then follow the instructions in the developer documentation to implement the library within your POS software.
If you require assistance, you can book our integration support service, where a treibauf support specialist personally guides you through the implementation process.
Once Pepper Library is implemented in your POS software, you can test the communication with the POS terminal free of charge.
If everything runs smoothly, you simply order your product licences for permanent use and conclude a licencse agreement with treibauf.
These standard functions are included in Pepper Library
For the terminal models commonly used in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Pepper Library enables the immediate use of numerous essential functions. And the best part: if you switch terminals, these functions continue to work instantly — without any additional development effort.

Fixed or rental licensing?
You decide!
When it comes to licensing, our customers can choose between two different models:
Fixed
With this model, you pay a one-time licence fee for the interface to a specific communication protocol, followed by an annual maintenance fee. Additional communication protocol interfaces require separate licences.
Rental
Our rental model offers maximum flexibility. The monthly cancellable subscription includes all communication protocols supported by Pepper. When switching POS terminals, no additional costs arise.
Would you like to learn more about our licensing models? We are happy to advise you personally. Simply get in touch with us directly.

PepperQik or Pepper Library?
The key differences
Both PepperQik and Pepper Library facilitate POS terminal integration as universal interfaces. However, due to their different technological approaches, they are integrated differently into your POS IT infrastructure — affecting operation, deployment and administration of your payment terminals.
