With PepperQik, you can roll out new POS terminals or terminal groups across all branches and even across national borders with just a few clicks.

The integration cockpit enables centralized deployment with maximum scalability. Terminal administration is also handled conveniently via the central web interface.

Maximum flexibility via REST API

PepperQik is integrated via a REST API. This allows you to use the terminal integration software easily as a cloud service from anywhere in the world. From any internet-enabled device, you have access to the communication of all connected payment terminals at any time.

The key advantages
of PepperQik

Less effort, more plug & play

Thanks to the REST API, integration is now significantly simpler and faster, freeing up valuable IT resources.

Easy deployment

The integration cockpit makes rolling out and linking new terminals or entire terminal groups even easier. Just a few clicks — and you’re done.

Flexible scalability

New branches or increased transaction volumes? No problem. With PepperQik, you can flexibly adapt the scope to your requirements at any time.

Maintenance included!

With cloud usage (standard), we take care of complete software maintenance. Your IT team can focus on more strategic tasks.

Full transparency at all times

Benefit from intelligent transaction monitoring and reduce downtime at the POS to a minimum.

Fair and transparent billing

Set everything up first — billing only starts when transactions are processed. With PepperQik, you only pay when you generate transactions and revenue.

No internal hosting effort

If the software runs in the cloud, you don’t need your own servers. Hardware costs and maintenance effort are eliminated.

PepperQik or Pepper Library?
The key differences

As universal interfaces, both PepperQik and Pepper Library make it easier to integrate EFT/POS terminals. As the two run on a different technology logic, however, they are integrated differently into your POS-IT infrastructure, which in turn has an impact on the operation, deployment and administration of your payment terminals.

pepper qik

Can PepperQik also connect terminals that don’t have a cloud interface?

Yes, that’s possible. For this, we developed our own software component: the PepperQik Satellite. The Satellite is simply installed in the local network and handles communication in place of the cloud interface.

Does PepperQik also work with cloud-based POS systems?

Yes. Our PepperQik solution was developed specifically for cloud-based POS systems.

How do I get a trial licence for PepperQik?

To test PepperQik for free, simply register on our test system and you’ll receive a test registration code from us. If you have any questions, you can also contact us directly at any time.

How long does it take to integrate PepperQik?

For the initial integration of the PepperQik REST API, you should plan on about one day of work. After that, connecting new terminals takes only about 5 minutes.

What integration options are available for PepperQik?

By using a REST API, PepperQik works independently of the operating system in use: the cloud service can be called by any modern POS system. For connecting specific endpoints, the integrator receives a standard REST API including documentation with example HTTP requests and responses.

What system requirements does PepperQik have?

To use PepperQik, you need an internet connection. The cloud service requires at least 100 KB/s for both download and upload.

Which IT environment is PepperQik suitable for?

PepperQik is our cloud solution controlled via REST API. That means PepperQik works with cloud-based POS systems and terminals just as well as with POS systems and terminals that run locally by the retailer.

Which licensing models are available for PepperQik?

PepperQik is a cloud software service billed monthly or annually (with a discount). Depending on how many transactions/operations you process per month, you can choose between different plans. PepperQik can scale flexibly as your business grows.

Who hosts PepperQik?
