From result to running business: Pludor Smart Terminal
A physical card-payment terminal costs money and is one more piece of hardware to manage, when most sellers already carry a smartphone.
Pludor Smart Terminal is a standalone app that turns any spare Android phone into a Stripe Tap-to-Pay or QR-code payment terminal, so a seller can accept in-person card payments without buying separate hardware.
Stripe Tap-to-Pay support
QR-code payment option
Runs as its own dedicated Android app alongside the main web POS
On for every store, including the Free plan - a free amount every month, then pay only for what you use (1 credit = 1 cent).
Choose the format - UPC-A (12 digits) for US retail, EAN-13 (13 digits) for retail elsewhere, Code 128 for your own SKUs, inventory and shipping labels - enter the number, and download the barcode image to print. To sell in big retail stores your UPC or EAN number itself must come from GS1.
What is the difference between UPC and Code 128?
UPC-A is the 12-digit code on products sold in US stores; EAN-13 is the 13-digit version used in most other countries. Code 128 can hold letters and numbers, so it suits your own SKUs, inventory and shipping labels.
Can I make up my own UPC number?
Not for selling in retail stores - those numbers are licensed by GS1 so each product is unique worldwide. For your own shop, stock room or marketplace SKUs, use Code 128 with any code you like.
Is this tool free?
Yes. You get 60 free runs an hour with no account. Leave your email or sign in (also free) for 120 an hour and a saved history.
Do I need to buy a card reader to use Smart Terminal?
No - it uses Tap-to-Pay technology built into the Android phone itself, so no separate card-reader hardware is required.
Is there a free Barcode Generator WordPress plugin?
Yes. Download the Barcode Generator WordPress plugin from this page, upload it in Plugins > Add New, paste your free Pludor key, and add the Pludor tool block to any page.
Do I need coding skills to add the Barcode Generator to my website?
No. After installing the free plugin, paste [pludor_tool slug="barcode-generator"] on any page or post, or add the Pludor tool block. No code or developer needed.
