Kurv

Kurv distinguishes itself by offering a unified ecosystem that handles both card-present and online transactions without the clutter often found in legacy providers.

Point-of-Sale (POS) Flexibility Kurv provides a versatile range of POS hardware, from handheld smart terminals to full countertop systems. Whether you run a retail shop or a mobile service, their hardware supports chip (EMV), swipe, and contactless payments (NFC). Importantly, the system includes inventory management and staff tracking capabilities directly within the interface.

Payment Gateway & Virtual Terminal For businesses that need to process payments remotely, Kurv includes a robust payment gateway. This allows merchants to enter credit card information manually via a virtual terminal, making it ideal for phone orders (MOTO). It also supports recurring billing for subscription models and offers invoicing tools to send payment requests directly to clients.

Mobile Payment Solutions Kurv is designed for the modern “anywhere” economy. The platform offers dedicated mobile payment processing that turns iOS and Android devices into functional terminals. This is particularly useful for pop-up shops, food trucks, or field service providers who need to accept payments on the spot.

Security & Fraud Prevention Security is a core component of the Kurv offering. The platform is fully PCI compliant and utilizes advanced encryption standards. Additionally, it includes active fraud prevention tools to monitor suspicious transactions and reduce chargeback risks, ensuring merchant data remains secure.

Reporting & Analytics The dashboard offers real-time data visualization, allowing business owners to track sales trends, monitor revenue, and generate detailed transaction reports. This transparency helps businesses make informed decisions without needing third-party analytics tools.

Kurv is designed to be device-agnostic and flexible, ensuring merchants can operate on the hardware that best fits their environment, whether that is a dedicated counter setup or a mobile device in the field.

Operating System Compatibility The Kurv platform is fully cloud-based and compatible with all major operating systems. You can access the dashboard, virtual terminal, and reporting tools via:

• iOS (iPads and iPhones)
• Android (Tablets and phones)
• Windows
• Mac

Supported Terminals For physical card acceptance, Kurv supports modern smart terminals that handle chip, swipe, and contactless payments.

• VP550: A featured smart terminal that includes a built-in printer and large touchscreen interface, suitable for retail and hospitality environments.
• Handheld Smart Terminals: Portable all-in-one devices that allow for inventory management and payment processing tableside or on the sales floor.

Installation There is no requirement for complex on-premise installation servers. Because the system is cloud-based, setup is plug-and-play, and “On-place Installation” is not required.

Kurv takes a “unified ecosystem” approach to integrations. Instead of forcing merchants to patch together dozens of disparate apps, the platform comes pre-loaded with essential tools while maintaining the flexibility to connect with external software when needed.

Unified Payment Ecosystem The core value proposition is consolidation. Kurv combines gateway services, processing, fraud prevention, and reporting into a single login. This reduces the need for paid third-party add-ons typically required by other providers.

Key Integrations

E-Commerce Platforms: Kurv integrates smoothly with popular e-commerce platforms, allowing you to sync your online store inventory and sales data directly with your payment processor.

POS Systems: The platform supports integration with a wide variety of Point-of-Sale systems, ensuring that your existing hardware or preferred software can communicate with the payment network.

Accounting Software: While Kurv has built-in billing and invoicing, it also connects with standard accounting tools to streamline bookkeeping and reconciliation.

Built-In Add-ons Because Kurv is designed as a complete solution, several features often sold as “paid add-ons” by competitors are native to the platform:

• Advanced Fraud Prevention: sophisticated monitoring tools are included to protect against chargebacks and unauthorized transactions.
• Reporting & Analytics: A full suite of real-time reporting tools is built directly into the dashboard, eliminating the need for separate analytics subscriptions.

Kurv is explicitly designed to “remove complexity,” offering a clean, intuitive dashboard that requires minimal training to master. By consolidating the gateway, processing, and reporting into a single “ecosystem,” merchants manage their entire operation from one login, eliminating the need to juggle multiple providers.

Setup is frictionless: the cloud-based platform offers “straightforward onboarding” and rapid approvals without the need for complex on-site installation. Additionally, full iOS and Android compatibility ensures you can accept payments and monitor sales entirely from a mobile device.
