Everything is simple, fast, and highly secure. The app is paired with your Confirmo account.

FAQ
How fast is the payment?
Instant (1-10 seconds). Confirmo POS is built on top of the Lightning Network protocol (Bitcoin’s 2nd layer) that enables reliable, instantaneous bitcoin payments and unlimited scaling.
Which crypto can I use in the POS terminal?
Confirmo’s POS supports Bitcoin Lightning only. Why? Because the Lightning network is the only reliable instant crypto payment method.
Point-of-sale terminals supporting the Bitcoin blockchain, Litecoin, etc. are not instant by design and have never been intended to be used for small coffee payments. On-chain payments do not have a payment protocol that ensures a flawless transfer of crypto funds.
Which lightning wallet should the customer use?
Phoenix wallet
Wallet of Satoshi
Blue wallet
Muun
Breez
