Ever wished you could accept payments without the hassle of POS hardware? With Kuda’s Virtual POS, you can accept business payments quickly, securely, and with zero hardware required. Here’s everything you need to know to get started and make the most of this feature.
What is the Virtual Kuda POS?
The Virtual Kuda POS is a unique account number you can assign to your business, specific stores, or even individual staff members. It acts as a dedicated payment point, so every time a customer pays via transfer, the assigned staff or location gets an instant notification. No physical machine, no waiting—just seamless payments.
