Best Android POS Systems in Singapore (2026): Tablets and Terminals

A vendor shortlist for Android: all-in-one terminals with built-in card readers versus Android tablets, with NETS, PayNow and update checks.

Handheld card terminal in use

Disclosure: ChaChaCha is a POS vendor, powered by AppsPOS, so we compete with some of the vendors below. We only used information published on each vendor's own website as of September 2026.

  • Android POS in Singapore comes in two forms: POS apps you install on an ordinary Android tablet or phone, and all-in-one Android terminals with a built-in card reader, printer or both.
  • Vendors whose Singapore sites describe Android options include Qashier, Rewardly, Eats365, Loyverse, HitPay, EPOS and FoodZaps.
  • NETS support depends on the terminal and the vendor. NETS publishes its own terminal options, a SoftPOS app for Android phones and a list of certified POS vendors.
  • Options are grouped by what they suit best, not ranked, and not compared on price.

Last reviewed: September 2026

An Android POS system can be as simple as an app on a phone or as solid as a dual-screen terminal with a printer built in. That range is the main reason Singapore owners choose Android. This guide lists which POS apps sold in Singapore run on Android tablets and terminals, according to each vendor’s own site, and what to check on NETS and PayNow support, durability and updates. For the platform decision itself, see our Android vs iPad POS guide. We don’t repeat it here.

How we compared

  • Vendor websites only, linked where used. Official sources for NETS and Android security updates.
  • “Not stated on their website” means we could not find it, not that it is missing.
  • No price comparison and no ranking. ChaChaCha is quote-based and appears as one option among several.

Android tablet vs all-in-one Android terminal

These are the two main forms of Android POS hardware:

  • Android tablet or phone. Low entry cost and easy to replace. You add a printer and a separate card terminal, unless the vendor supports tap-to-pay on the phone.
  • All-in-one Android terminal. A purpose-built device with a card reader, and often a receipt printer, scanner or second screen. There are fewer boxes on the counter, but you are more tied to one vendor’s hardware.

Our tablet POS vs terminal guide goes deeper into the trade-off.

Android POS systems sold in Singapore

Qashier

Qashier’s hardware page lists three terminals: the QashierXS for grab-and-go kiosks, small retail and on-the-go businesses; the QashierX2, described as compact and portable with an 8-hour battery and integrated payments; and the QashierXL SLIM for full-service restaurants and bars. Its product page says cards, PayNow and e-wallets are accepted on the device, that you can use your own Android tablet at no extra cost, and that orders and cash payments continue offline and sync later. The site does not state which operating system the terminals run.

Rewardly

Rewardly’s P3 terminal page lists an 11-inch screen, Android 14 with Google Play certification ready for tap-to-pay, a camera scanner for 1D and 2D codes, and NFC. Its SoftPOS page says a GMS-certified Android phone on Android 10 or later with NFC can accept Visa and Mastercard contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayNow QR in the Rewardly POS app.

Eats365

Eats365’s hardware page says its main POS runs on iPads, while the Eats365 Biz app and the mPOS module run on Android smartphones across a wide range of models. For iPad-first options, see our iPad POS shortlist. The pricing page describes the mPOS as compatible with entry-level Android smartphones and with specific card terminals for table-side payment.

Loyverse

The Loyverse site says its POS runs on iOS and Android phones and tablets and on compatible Android POS devices, and records sales offline. Its payment page lists integrated payments in more than 30 countries without naming Singapore, so check how card payments would work here.

HitPay

HitPay’s card terminal page lists Tap to Pay for iOS and Android, plus terminals bought once, including the WisePad 3 reader, SoundBox, FlexiPOS, All-in-One and POS MAX. It says the POS MAX has a built-in receipt printer and barcode reader.

EPOS

EPOS offers the EPOS360 app on Google Play and the App Store. Its BlueTap page describes a payment device that connects over Wi-Fi, 4G with a SIM card, and Bluetooth, and accepts cards, PayNow, PayLah and e-wallets. BlueTap needs an EPOS360 subscription and an ANEXT Bank business account, and each device links to one UEN. The EPOS homepage says its main system works offline as well.

FoodZaps

FoodZaps describes itself as an Android POS. If you are weighing it up, our FoodZaps alternatives page covers its plans and other options. Its hardware page lets you bring your own Android phone or tablet and pair LAN or Bluetooth printers. The page lists a minimum of Android 4.0, so ask FoodZaps for its current recommended devices and Android version. We compare it with our own POS in FoodZaps or ChaChaCha.

ChaChaCha

ChaChaCha is a web and hybrid POS that keeps taking orders if the internet drops and syncs later. AppsPOS supplies the hardware as part of the package, including a self-order kiosk with a built-in card terminal. It is a NETS Certified Vendor and supports PayNow, PayLah!, NETS, Visa, Mastercard and GrabPay. Ask us to confirm which Android devices we supply for your outlet.

NETS and PayNow on Android

Most Singapore customers expect to pay by NETS and PayNow as well as by card. On Android there are three routes:

  • A POS vendor’s own terminal that accepts NETS, cards and QR. Ask for the full list of schemes it accepts.
  • A NETS terminal integrated with your POS. The NETS POS page offers wired and wireless terminals (the handheld needs mobile data) and lists the POS vendors certified to integrate them, including AppsPOS and EPOS.
  • NETS SoftPOS on a phone. The NETS SoftPOS page says it needs a non-jailbroken Android 10 or later device with NFC and Google Play Services, and accepts contactless payments only. Check whether your POS app links to it or runs alongside it.

Our payment terminal guide compares terminal types in more detail.

Durability, updates and security

Android devices vary widely in build and support life. Google publishes monthly Android Security Bulletins, but each device maker decides how long its own devices receive those fixes. Before you buy:

  • Ask which Android version the terminal runs and how long the maker will ship security updates.
  • For payment terminals, ask how the vendor handles certification and replacement when a model is retired.
  • For kitchens and trucks, ask about drop resistance, heat and splash protection, and battery life on a full shift.
  • Check that tap-to-pay phones meet the vendor’s stated Android version and NFC requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Android POS system in Singapore?

It depends on your outlet. Qashier and HitPay sell all-in-one terminals, Rewardly offers SoftPOS on Android phones and its own terminals, Eats365 runs its mPOS on Android phones, and Loyverse and FoodZaps suit self-serve set-ups. Compare NETS and PayNow support, offline behaviour and local support before choosing.

Can an Android phone accept card payments in Singapore?

Yes, with the right app. NETS SoftPOS needs a non-jailbroken Android 10 or later device with NFC and Google Play Services. Rewardly SoftPOS needs a GMS-certified Android 10 or later phone with NFC. HitPay lists Tap to Pay for Android. These accept contactless payments only, so keep a backup for chip cards.

What is an Android POS terminal?

It is a dedicated device running Android that combines the POS app with payment acceptance, and often a receipt printer, scanner or customer screen. Examples on Singapore vendor sites include the Qashier terminals, the Rewardly P3 and HitPay POS MAX. Ask which Android version it runs and how long it will get updates.

Does Android POS software accept NETS?

It depends on the vendor and the terminal. Some vendors integrate a NETS terminal with their POS; NETS publishes a list of certified vendors on its NETS POS page. Others accept NETS on their own terminals or alongside NETS SoftPOS. Ask each vendor to confirm NETS acceptance in writing.

How long do Android POS devices get security updates?

Google publishes monthly Android Security Bulletins, but each device maker decides how long its devices receive the fixes. Ask the POS vendor which Android version the terminal runs, how long updates will continue, and what happens when the model is retired. Payment terminals may also need recertification.
