Alipay R0
is an e-payment cash register integrated with the functions of payment, an ERP system and a broadcast speaker. By introducing our first all-in-one software and hardware POS solution, we named it R0 instead of R1, meaning a new POS definition as well as the new business era for small merchants
It is a breakthrough that it adopts a novel form, a result of a great deal of researches on use scenarios and continuous optimized engineering. To this end, we have made a lot of optical tests and tried different device angles before selecting the best engineering solution
Given the limited areas of small merchants' stores from the research we did, we have designed the device to be much thinner and smaller than the traditional cash registers, so that it can be placed in crowded and complex environment. A slimmer screen and smaller battery are introduced, which makes the hardware more compact and delicate
It supports two modes for the QR code scanning-based payment. Users can complete the payment either
by using the hand-held device, or by directly operating the device placed on the base to finish the payment
It is compact in size with cutting-edge tech solution that a lot of design elements for high-end consumer electronics have been applied to this cost-effective product - the 4-inch screen, advanced integrated cameras, magnetic charging dock
We specially developed an integrated software and hardware solution, to provide better cashier and inventory operation service. The 4-inch screen makes the appearance minimal and provides diversified modes of interaction, opening up possibilities for more business scenarios.
Alipay R0 makes good design no longer exclusive to large merchants. The premium appearance adds a new highlight to the stores of small-sized merchants. The design corresponds to "bridge" in shape semantics: it connects merchants and consumers on the one hand and closes the gap between small merchants and high-quality service on the other hand. It reflects Alipay's vision of offering equal and inclusive business services in the future
