Altru Hardware
Our best source of updated hardware information is here, you and your peers, that are evaluating and purchasing the hardware itself. With that in mind, we will be discontinuing the Altru Amazon Store and encourage the discussion to be here in the community of what is working for each group. I have learned from many of unique configurations that have been developed to serve specific purposes from mobile check-points to member only lanes.
Please note, we do recognize that EMV compliance will come with specific hardware requirements and we are working to ensure there are options that meet budget as well as mobile requirements. We will update you here in the community and in our roadmap webinars as soon as these hardware solutions are confirmed.
To start, check out previous hardware posts below. If you don't see your question answered, click Start a Discussion in the banner at the top of the page and choose Hardware from the dropdown menu.
