Retail shop counter taking a payment with Atoa

One platform for every payment your shop takes

The payments layer for your shop

  • Atoa works alongside the till and EPOS you already have.
  • It is not a rip-and-replace. Your stock, reporting and team permissions stay where they are.
  • What changes is how you get paid: Pay by Bank by QR code at the counter, cards on a terminal, and payment links for phone or reservation orders, all in one dashboard.
  • Customers who choose Pay by Bank scan a QR code and approve the payment in their Bank app. Customers who prefer to tap use the card terminal.
  • You get paid either way, with lower fees and no chargebacks on Pay by Bank and competitive pricing for card payments.

You get paid

Pay by Bank settles instantly for most small businesses, or next working day for larger ones. Cards typically settle within two working days.

Here is what changes when you add Atoa to your shop

Faster settlement

Pay by Bank settles instantly. Larger businesses receive a single consolidated payout the next working day. Cards typically settle within two days, excluding weekends and public holidays.

Works with your EPOS

Atoa is the payment layer, not a rip-and-replace. Your till, stock and reporting stay where they are. Fully integrated with Tevalis, PointOne, TillTech, VDIT, Haswent, Kurve and more.

No chargebacks on Pay by Bank

Every Pay by Bank payment is authenticated directly through the customer’s Bank app using biometrics or a passcode. Once that authentication is done, the payment stands.

Lower fees

Pay by Bank from 0.6% + VAT (with custom pricing for larger businesses) and cards from 1.3%.*

Built for your team

Assign roles to your team so staff can accept payments at the counter, while you manage the business from your Atoa dashboard.

No hardware needed to start

Get going with just the Atoa Business app on your phone or tablet or the dashboard version. No terminal needed to take your first payment.

Tips and Google reviews

Customers can add a tip during payment and get a prompt to leave a Google review once they’re done. A small touch that adds up.

UK-based support from day one

Our UK care team handles onboarding, training and account support from the moment you sign up. Technical specialists are available for integrations with your EPOS or accounting software.

The best POS depends on your stock and till needs. For the payment side, Atoa lets you take cards and Pay by Bank at the till, with no chargebacks on Pay by Bank, working alongside your existing EPOS, whether that is Tevalis, PointOne, TillTech or others.

Shops take card payments at the till on a card machine, and online through a checkout or payment link. With Atoa, you accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay on a terminal, and offer Pay by Bank so customers can pay straight from their own Bank app.

Pay by Bank is usually the lower-cost option, because it skips the card networks entirely. Atoa’s Pay by Bank starts at 0.6% + VAT, with custom pricing available for larger businesses. You can still offer a card machine from 1.3% for customers who prefer to tap or insert.

No. Atoa is the payments layer and works alongside your existing EPOS and stock system. Your till, inventory and reporting stay where they are.

No. You can take Pay by Bank payments by QR code with no hardware at all, or use the Atoa Business app on your phone or tablet. If you want a terminal, the PAX is available from £20 a month to rent or £279 to buy outright.
