Features of DotPay POS 

The DotPay POS is an Android-based POS device that has the ability to carry out card withdrawals, print receipts, pay bills, and do transfers. The company also promised to add balance checking and other features in the near future.  

How Much Is DotPay POS? 

The DotPay POS is not for sale; however, agents are to pay a caution fee to get the POS from an aggregator or ambassador. You are to get an N10,000 refund if you stop using and return the device within six months from the date you got the device. If the return or retrieval is done after six months, you are entitled to nothing.

This money can be paid before or during delivery depending on your negotiations with the aggregator or ambassador. Beware of scammers; only pay if you trust the aggregator or ambassador.

Unlike other companies which require a certain amount daily as a target for its agents, DotPay has no fixed amount as a target; rather all agents are expected to perform a minimum of 20 transactions daily irrespective of the amount. If an agent fails to meet this target consistently, his or her POS will be retrieved by the aggregator who issued the device or any other aggregator assigned by the company.

Final Words

This company is still very new with lots of potential to compete with others in the market and, at the moment, the device is easy to access. I can’t say what will happen in a few months. The charges are also okay, and since it is completely new, the network speed will be very okay. As such, I encourage you to key into it now and start making daily instantly-dropping commissions.
