The panel's verdict
YAVIN is a French card-payment product: an iPhone (XS or newer, iOS 17, passcode set) becomes the terminal, taking tap-to-pay sales with tips, PIN-protected reversals and receipts by email or QR code. The bench scored it highest on payments and fees and on accounting and portability, both a uniform 4: a named, regulated money chain (YAVIN SAS, registered payment-services agent of the Paris e-money institution eZyness under ACPR supervision) and a genuinely documented version 5 API with sandbox, pagination, an approval-flow refund path and webhooks with retries and idempotency keys. The lowest marks are fiscal compliance, scored 0 with no public information on a TSE, DSFinV-K, RKSV or NF525, and operations and locations at 2 to 3, with no public information on articles, stock, staff rights or kitchen printing. Sovereignty splits the judges, 2 to 4: some weighed the French contracting chain, others the missing data residency, subprocessor list and processing agreement. No prices — licence, terminal or per-transaction — appear on the pages read.
Speaks for it
- Tap to pay turns an iPhone XS or newer (iOS 17, passcode set) into the terminal with no extra hardware, with tips and PIN-protected reversals.
- Payments run through a named, regulated chain — YAVIN SAS as payment-services agent of eZyness, an e-money institution authorised by the ACPR.
- A documented version 5 server-to-server API offers a sandbox, paginated transaction retrieval with filters, refunds with an approval flow, and webhooks with a retry schedule and idempotency keys.
- A WooCommerce plugin, an iOS SDK and an online-payment drop-in integration are named alongside the API.
- Accepted schemes include CB, Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Maestro, plus French meal-voucher mediums such as ANCV, Edenred and Swile.
Held against it
- Fiscal compliance scored 0, with no public information on a TSE, a DSFinV-K export, RKSV or NF525 on any page read.
- Operations and locations scores range 2 to 3, with no public information on articles, stock, staff roles, tables or kitchen printing.
- We found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on a subprocessor list or on a data processing agreement; the only host named is Webflow Inc of San Francisco, for the website.
- We found no public information on a named accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, or on a full export when the contract ends.
- The webhook documentation itself states that requests carry no signature today.
Best for
- You take card payments at a counter or a stall and want one iPhone — XS or newer — as the whole terminal, with tips and receipts by email or QR code.
- You have a developer to integrate: the versioned API with sandbox, webhooks and a WooCommerce plugin lets you pull, refund and reconcile transactions yourself.
- You want a French-regulated money chain, with a Paris-registered vendor acting as payment-services agent of the ACPR-authorised eZyness.
Avoid if
- You face a cash-register audit that requires a certified TSE, a DSFinV-K export or NF525 — fiscal compliance scored 0 and we found no public information on any of them.
- You need a till beyond payment — articles, stock, staff roles, tables or kitchen printing — where operations and locations scored 2 to 3.
- Your data protection officer must see a data residency statement, a subprocessor list or a processing agreement before signing; sovereignty scores ranged 2 to 4 over exactly this.

How this is scored
How a sale is rung up and what it runs on: a fast till on tablet, phone or dedicated terminal, articles, modifiers and discounts, split bills and tips, receipts printed or sent digitally (QR code, email, a digital Bon), returns and cancellations, a customer display, which hardware is supported or sold (receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, scales), and whether the till keeps selling when the internet is down.
0 — Not a till; sales cannot be rung up or receipts issued in the product.
3 — Sales rung up on one device with a printed receipt; digital receipts, supported hardware and offline operation are basic or not described.
5 — A till app on named devices (iPad, Android or Windows) with articles, modifiers, discounts and split payments, receipts printed or sent digitally, returns and cancellations, a list of supported printers, drawers and scanners, and an offline mode stated.
8 — Several device types and own or third-party hardware with a published compatibility list, offline mode with its limits stated (how long, which payments, how sync resolves), digital receipts meeting the receipt obligation, customer display, scales and barcode labels supported, and hardware rentable or bought with the terms stated.
10 — A till that never stops a sale: offline operation documented including card payments and fiscal signing, hardware open to standard devices rather than locked to the vendor, receipt layouts that meet the legal minimum content in each named country, and a stated uptime or a status page with incident history.
The Café Owner
A sale can be taken on one device: the iPhone itself, from an iPhone XS or newer on iOS 17, with tips on screen, reversals protected by a PIN from the back office, and receipts shared by email or QR code. For everything my counter needs — an article list, split bills for a table of six, a receipt printer, a cash drawer, and a till that keeps selling when the Wi-Fi drops — we found no public information. The refunds flow is real but it runs through the developer interface, not a screen my evening student would ever see. 3 4 7
The Retail Shop Owner
Payments and receipts run on a single iPhone (XS or newer, iOS 17, passcode set, the Yavin app): tips on screen, reversal of a sale protected by a back-office PIN, and receipt tickets shared by email or QR code, with client, merchant and receipt content carried on each transaction. We found no public information on ringing up articles with barcodes, discounts, split payments, receipt printers, cash drawers or scanners, or an offline mode — for till points holding four thousand articles that is the half I would need. 3 4
The Tax Adviser
The captured pages show payments taken on an iPhone (iPhone XS or newer, iOS 17, passcode required) with tap to pay, tips, reversals protected by a PIN held in the back office, and receipt tickets shared by email or QR code. We found no public information on an article catalogue, modifiers, split bills, receipt printers or cash drawers, or offline operation. 3 4
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The documented checkout is an iPhone app (iPhone XS or newer, iOS 17, passcode set) taking contactless payments with tips, PIN-protected reversals and receipts shared by email or QR code, with client, merchant and receipt tickets per transaction. We found no public information on an article catalog, modifiers, discounts, split bills, printers, cash drawers or offline operation. 3 4 7
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
A payment is taken with just an iPhone and the Yavin app, and the receipt can be shared by email or QR code, with tips on the sale and a history filterable by date, terminal and scheme. That is one device type only, and I found no public information on articles, discounts, split payments, receipt printers or what happens when the internet is down — at my Christmas stall that last question decides whether I can sell at all. 3 4 7
The Skeptic
The captured pages show a sale taken on an iPhone with the Yavin app — tap to pay with no extra hardware — plus a receipt shared by email or QR code, tips, a filterable payment history and a PIN-protected reversal. We found no public information on articles, modifiers, discounts, split bills, receipt printers, cash drawers, scanners, a customer display or an offline mode; the hardware story begins and ends with “iPhone XS or newer”. 3 4
Card payments & fees
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the till takes card and mobile payments and what that costs: an integrated terminal and the acquirer behind it named, girocard, credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, tap to pay on a phone, the fee per transaction by card type, monthly terminal fees, payout timing, and whether the merchant may use a terminal or acquirer of their own choice instead. A "free" till paid for by card fees counts here.
0 — No card payment of any kind can be recorded at the till.
3 — Card payments recorded at the till, by an integrated terminal or by typing the amount into a separate one; the acquirer, the fees and the choice of terminal are basic or not described.
5 — An integrated card terminal with the payment provider named, girocard, credit cards and mobile wallets accepted, the transaction fee published for the main card types, payouts with their timing stated, and the amount passed to the terminal without retyping.
8 — Fees per card type and terminal cost published, tap to pay on a phone, tips and split payments on the terminal, several integrated acquirers or terminals to choose from (not only the vendor's own), the regulated payment institution named, and card payments reconciled to the daily closing.
10 — Payments without lock-in: the till works with any of several named acquirers on equal terms, fees for every card type, currency and chargeback published, the merchant's contract with the acquirer separable from the POS licence, and a change of acquirer documented without changing the till.
The Café Owner
Card taking is clearly the heart of it: the iPhone becomes the terminal, tips are built in, refunds and reversals are handled, and the schemes run from CB, Visa, Mastercard and Amex to French meal vouchers like ANCV, Edenred and Swile. The regulated side is named — YAVIN acts as payment agent for eZyness, the ACPR-licensed e-money institution in Paris. We found no public information on the fee per card type, monthly or terminal price, or payout timing, so I cannot see what a card-paid cappuccino would cost me. 2 3 4 8
The Retail Shop Owner
Card acceptance is the core of the product: tap to pay on the iPhone without extra hardware, named schemes including CB, Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and Amex plus French meal-voucher mediums, refunds initiated by API with an approval flow, and a regulated, named money chain — YAVIN SAS as registered payment-services agent of the Paris e-money institution eZyness under ACPR supervision. We found no public information on per-transaction fees, terminal cost or payout timing, or on using a terminal or acquirer of my own choice, so I still cannot work out what a card sale would cost me. 2 3 4 7
The Tax Adviser
Card acceptance is the product's core: tap to pay on the iPhone, the schemes listed include CB, VISA, MASTERCARD and AMEX, tips and refunds flow through a documented API with an approval path, and the chain is regulated — YAVIN SAS is a registered payment agent of the French e-money institution eZyness under ACPR supervision. What stops me higher: we found no public information on transaction fees by card type, terminal costs, or payout timing anywhere on the pages I read, so an operator cannot compute what acceptance costs. 2 3 4 7 8
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Payments run through Yavin as a registered payment-services agent of the French e-money institution eZyness, supervised by the ACPR, with Tap to Pay on iPhone, CB, Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Maestro accepted, tips and a refund approval flow. We found no published transaction fees, terminal costs or payout timing, and no documented choice of terminal or acquirer. 2 3 4 7
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
Card taking is the heart of the product: tap to pay on the iPhone, debit, reversal and API refunds with an approval flow, and YAVIN acts as payment agent of eZyness, a Paris e-money institution supervised by ACPR — so a named, regulated institution stands behind the money. 2 3 4 8
The Skeptic
The regulated chain is named and French — YAVIN acts as payment services agent of eZyness, an e-money institution authorised by the ACPR — and tap to pay on the phone, tips, refund flows and the accepted schemes (CB, VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, MAESTRO) are all documented. What we never see is the money: we found no public information on transaction fees, monthly fees, payout timing or chargeback terms, and none on any choice of acquirer or terminal — a buyer cannot compute what a payment costs, which is exactly where a “free” till hides its price. 2 3 4 8

Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the till survives a cash audit: for Germany a certified technical security device (TSE) with its provider and BSI certificate named, hardware or cloud, the DSFinV-K export for the Kassennachschau and the tax audit, the receipt obligation (Belegausgabepflicht), the Kassenbuch and daily closing (Z-Bericht), GoBD-compliant storage for ten years, and help with the § 146a AO registration; for Austria the RKSV signature and FinanzOnline registration; for other countries their named fiscal rules (NF525, Fiskaltrust and similar).
0 — No fiscal function at all; the product is not a cash register in the legal sense, or states that it does not meet the fiscal rules of the markets it sells into.
3 — The till is called compliant ("finanzamtkonform", "KassenSichV-ready") without naming the TSE, the export formats or the closing; the details are basic or not described.
5 — A TSE included or offered with its provider named (hardware or cloud), the DSFinV-K export available, receipts carrying the TSE signature, a daily closing and cash book, and the receipt obligation met on paper or digitally.
8 — TSE provider and BSI certification named with what happens when the TSE fails, DSFinV-K and the GoBD archive for ten years stated, the § 146a AO registration supported, a procedure documentation (Verfahrensdokumentation) template offered, and the fiscal rules of at least one further country (Austrian RKSV or another) named and met.
10 — Audit-proof across markets: fiscal compliance documented per named country with certificates published, the procedure documentation maintained by the vendor, the fiscal journal exportable after the contract ends, and the vendor's handling of a Kassennachschau (what the auditor gets, from whom, how fast) described.
The Café Owner not rated — no public information
We found no public information on a TSE, DSFinV-K, the Austrian signature rules, NF525 or any other fiscal certification, nor on a daily closing, cash book or tax-audit export. The pages read for this review were the homepage, the tap-to-pay feature page, the iOS SDK and API documentation and the legal notice; none of them speaks to the cash audit. 1 3 4 7
The Retail Shop Owner not rated — no public information
We found no public information on fiscal compliance on the pages captured — a German TSE, DSFinV-K, the Austrian RKSV or the French NF525, nor cash book, daily closing or long-term archive. The regulatory facts that are published concern payment-institution licensing (ACPR authorisation, REGAFI registration), which governs the money flow rather than a till's audit trail, so whether this survives a cash audit is not documented. 2 3 4 7
The Tax Adviser not rated — no public information
I found no public information on fiscal compliance — nothing on a certified technical security device with its certificate, DSFinV-K, the Austrian RKSV, or a French NF525 certification — on the homepage, legal notice or payment pages captured. From these pages alone I cannot judge whether this product would survive a cash audit, and nothing here names the § 146a registration or a procedure documentation. 1 2 4
The Hospitality Operations Manager not rated — no public information
We found no public information on certified technical security devices, DSFinV-K exports, the Austrian register-based signature, daily closings, cash books or ten-year audit storage. The pages we read cover the homepage, the legal notice, the Tap to Pay app and the developer documentation only. 1 2 3 4 7
The Fee-Conscious Merchant not rated — no public information
I found no public information on fiscal compliance — nothing on a TSE, DSFinV-K, the receipt obligation under KassenSichV or the Austrian RKSV on the pages I read. For a German shop facing a Kassennachschau, that silence leaves me unable to judge the product on this at all. 1 2 3 4 7
The Skeptic
The captured pages describe a card-payment product — the vendor's own legal notice titles the site a bank card payment terminal and registers the company as a payment services agent, and the refund API asks for the integrating software's name and version, which places Yavin beside the till rather than being the till. We found no public information on a fiscal device, certificate or export for any market: nothing on a German TSE, a DSFinV-K export, the Austrian signature rules or a French certification. 2 3 7
Inventory, tables, staff & locations
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the till runs beside the sale: stock and articles with variants, suppliers and purchase orders, recipes or ingredients for hospitality, tables, courses and a kitchen display or kitchen printer, self-order and QR ordering, staff logins with roles and rights, cash differences per employee, reports by product, staff and hour, and several branches or sites managed from one back office.
0 — No articles, stock, staff or reporting beyond the single sale.
3 — An article list and a sales report; stock, staff rights, tables and several locations are basic or not described.
5 — Article and stock management with variants or modifiers, staff logins with roles, reports by product, employee and period, and for hospitality tables and kitchen printing or a kitchen display; several locations or tills under one account.
8 — Stock with suppliers, purchase orders and inventory counts or recipes, a kitchen display and QR or self-order, granular staff rights and a log of cancellations and voids per employee, central articles and prices pushed to several branches, and cross-site reporting.
10 — Multi-site operations run through the product: stock transfers between branches, central menu and price management with local overrides, franchise or group structures, forecasting from sales history, and every change to an article, price or void attributed and exportable.
The Café Owner
What is confirmed is a payment history with filters by date, terminal, reference and scheme, a waiter reference on each transaction, and multi-company support. Beyond that I found no public information on articles, stock, table plans, kitchen printing, staff roles or running several sites; pages on staff management and at-table ordering were captured, but no specific detail could be confirmed from them. 3 5 6 7
The Retail Shop Owner
The captured pages show a transaction history filtered by date, time, terminal, reference and scheme, the waiter who took each payment recorded on the transaction, and support for several companies in one back office. We found no public information on article and stock management with variants, suppliers and purchase orders, staff roles, or stock transfers and shared visibility between my two branches. 3 7
The Tax Adviser
What the pages show is thin: a transaction history filterable by date, time, terminal, reference and scheme, the waiter recorded against each transaction, multi-company support in the iOS SDK, and support available seven days a week. We found no public information on articles and stock, kitchen or table management, staff rights, or several branches run from one back office. 3 7
The Hospitality Operations Manager
Multi-company support, a merchant back office whose admin users must approve refunds, transactions tagged with the waiter who performed them and a filterable payment history are documented, and pages on staff management and table order-and-pay were captured. We found no public information on articles, stock, recipes, kitchen display, or central menu and price management pushed across sites. 3 5 6 7
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The evidence stops at the payment: a filterable transaction history, the waiter's name on each transaction, and multi-company support in the developer kit. I found no public information on an article list, stock, staff roles and rights, tables or kitchen printing, so as an operations story this is thin. 3 7
The Skeptic
Two slivers surface: every transaction carries a reference naming the waiter or person who took it, and the SDK handles several companies. Beyond that we found no public information on articles, stock, tables, a kitchen display, staff logins and rights, cancellations per employee or managing several branches — even the captured staff-management and table-ordering pages contributed no confirmed details. 3 5 6 7
Accounting handoff, DATEV & data export
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What reaches the books and what leaves with the merchant: an export to DATEV (DATEV format, DATEV Kassenarchiv online, DATEV Unternehmen online) and to named accounting tools, booking with revenue accounts and tax rates, card payouts and fees reconciled, an API and webhooks, integrations with shop, booking or staff tools, and a complete export of articles, customers, sales and fiscal journals when the contract ends.
0 — No export of any kind; the day's figures have to be retyped.
3 — A CSV or PDF report of sales; booking data, named integrations and a full export are basic or not described.
5 — A DATEV export or another named accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, several integrations listed, a documented API, and sales and articles exportable.
8 — DATEV Kassenarchiv online or DATEV Unternehmen online named, card payouts and fees booked separately for reconciliation, a public API with webhooks and a developer portal, integrations with named shop, booking and staff-scheduling tools, and a full export of articles, customers and sales stated.
10 — Nothing stays behind: a complete export of all records including the fiscal journal and receipts in documented formats, access to past data after cancellation for the retention period stated, a migration path from and to other named systems, and the API covering every object the back office shows.
The Café Owner
The developer side is genuinely well documented: a versioned API with a sandbox, transaction retrieval with filters and pagination, refunds with an approval flow, and webhooks with a retry schedule, idempotency guidance and a WooCommerce plugin. But I found no DATEV export or any other named accounting export, no revenue accounts or tax rates, and no stated full export of articles and customers — my accountant would still be waiting. 3 7 8
The Retail Shop Owner
The Webservices API is documented in depth: version 5 with production and sandbox, every transaction retrievable with date, terminal and scheme filters and pagination, receipt content included, refunds with an approval flow, and webhooks with retry, idempotency and verification guidance; a WooCommerce plugin and an online-payment integration are also named. We found no public information on a DATEV export or another accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, or on a full export of articles and customers, so the handoff to my tax adviser is not addressed. 3 7 8
The Tax Adviser
The data handoff is real: a documented server-to-server API with sandbox and production environments, pagination and filters on transactions, refund endpoints, receipt content as data, standardized webhooks with retry schedules and idempotency keys, plus a WooCommerce plugin and a public iOS SDK. But we found no public information on an accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, on DATEV in any form, or on a complete export of articles, customers and fiscal records when the contract ends. 3 7 8
The Hospitality Operations Manager
A documented server-to-server API with sandbox, paginated transaction export, refunds and webhooks carrying retry, idempotency and verification rules, plus a WooCommerce plugin, an online payment drop-in and an iOS SDK, give a real developer handoff. We found no public information on a DATEV or other accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, or on exporting articles and customers when the contract ends. 3 7 8
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
The developer side is genuinely documented: a server-to-server API with pagination, refunds and webhooks with retry rules and idempotency keys, plus a WooCommerce plugin and iOS SDKs, so transaction data can be pulled programmatically. But I found no public information on a DATEV export or any accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, which is what my Steuerberater would ask for. 7 8
The Skeptic
The API is the one thing documented properly: a versioned server-to-server API with a sandbox, paginated transaction retrieval, refunds, and webhooks with a retry schedule and idempotency keys; a WooCommerce plugin and an iOS SDK are named, and a transaction carries client, company and receipt tickets. But the handoff to the books is where the merchant gets stuck — we found no public information on a named accounting export with revenue accounts and tax rates, on reconciling payouts and fees, or on a full export when the contract ends — and the webhook documentation itself states the requests carry no signature today. 3 7 8

How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where sales, customer and employee data are hosted, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, cloud TSE, payment processing, receipt delivery, email, analytics). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; POS data is financial and fiscal at once, holds staff logins and customer cards, and has to stay readable for the tax office for ten years, so the whole chain counts, not only the database.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (cloud TSE, payment processing, email, analytics, support) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, TSE provider and payment institution, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, TSE, payment institution, hosting and every subprocessor, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Café Owner
The contracting entity is French — YAVIN SAS, registered at the RCS of Paris — and the payment chain runs through eZyness, a Paris-based e-money institution licensed by the ACPR. Where payment and sales data are hosted is not stated: the only host named anywhere is the American company running the marketing website. The subcontractors are not listed and no data processing agreement is shown on the pages captured. 2
The Retail Shop Owner
The contracting entity is YAVIN SAS, a French simplified joint-stock company with its registered office on the Champs-Élysées in Paris and registered with the Paris commercial court, and the payment institution behind the product, eZyness, is likewise Paris-based and ACPR-supervised. We found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on the subprocessor chain, or on a data processing agreement; the only hosting statement captured names Webflow Inc of San Francisco as host of the vendor's website. 2
The Tax Adviser
The contracting entity is proven European — YAVIN SAS, registered at the Champs-Élysées in Paris with RCS and VAT numbers — and the payment chain runs through eZyness, a Paris-based e-money institution under ACPR supervision. The only hosting fact the pages give names Webflow Inc of San Francisco as the host of the vendor's website; we found no public information on where sales and customer data are held, on a data processing agreement, on subprocessors or on security certifications. 2
The Hospitality Operations Manager
The contracting party is clear — YAVIN SAS, registered at the Paris commercial court under number 853 095 594, with payments through the French, ACPR-supervised eZyness — which my data protection officer can at least name. We found no public information on where till and payment data are hosted, no subprocessor list and no processing agreement, and the only host named is Webflow Inc of San Francisco for the website. 2
The Fee-Conscious Merchant
YAVIN SAS is registered on the avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris and processes payments as agent of eZyness, a Paris institution under ACPR — a French entity with a French payment principal, which I like. The website itself is hosted by Webflow Inc of San Francisco, and I found no public information on where sales and customer data are hosted, on the subprocessor list, or on a data processing agreement. 2
The Skeptic
The contracting chain is French and evidenced down to the register — YAVIN SAS at 66 avenue des Champs-Élysées, RCS Paris, with a VAT number, and payments running through eZyness, an e-money institution authorised by the ACPR in Paris. The rest of the chain stays dark: the only named hosting is the website on Webflow Inc of San Francisco, tap-to-pay processing explicitly involves Apple, and we found no public information on where transaction data is hosted, on a subprocessor list, a data processing agreement or security certifications. 2 4
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: licence per till or per location, which modules (tables, kitchen display, stock, extra tills, DATEV export) cost extra, the TSE and its yearly fee, hardware to buy or rent, card terminal fees and transaction fees, setup and installation, support plans, minimum term and notice period.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call or a dealer quote.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with tills, locations, modules or hardware is unclear.
5 — Plans are public with their price per till or location and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (the TSE, extra tills, hardware, card fees, setup) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every plan priced publicly with its scaling rule, the TSE, hardware and add-ons priced, card fees and terminal costs listed, setup and support priced, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of tills, locations, modules and card volume, with every add-on, hardware, TSE, setup, support and payment fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Café Owner not rated — no public information
We found no public information on prices: no licence fee, transaction fee, hardware, setup or support price appears on the homepage, the tap-to-pay page or the developer documentation read for this review. Without a single figure I cannot begin to compute what my second year would cost, and support is promised seven days a week at no stated price. 1 3 4 7
The Retail Shop Owner not rated — no public information
We found no public prices on any page captured — no licence or subscription rate, no terminal price or rental, no per-transaction card fees, no setup or support rates, and no minimum term or notice period. The pages describe what the product does (an iPhone and the Yavin app, support seven days a week) without a single figure, so an annual cost cannot be computed from public information. 1 2 3 4 7 8
The Tax Adviser not rated — no public information
No price of any kind appears on the pages I read — neither a licence nor a terminal price, transaction fee, setup charge or support plan; the only figures on the legal notice are the share capital. We found no public information from which a buyer could compute the annual cost. 1 2 4
The Hospitality Operations Manager not rated — no public information

The Fee-Conscious Merchant not rated — no public information
I found no public information on pricing — no licence fee, no fee per girocard or credit card payment, no terminal price, no setup or support cost and nothing on minimum term on the pages I read. For me the price page is the first page, so I cannot begin to compute what a season of five-euro card sales would cost. 1 4 7

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 3 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
