3. Access invaluable insights

In the Tyro eCommerce Portal, where the Virtual Terminal lives, you can also search, track, and manage the payment histories of existing customers. This info not only means you can keep an eye on who is (and isn’t) paying on time but it can also inform future marketing efforts, to really wow your customers with a personalised shopping experience.

Similarly, you can use payment histories to get a gauge of what products are hot or not, and adjust your offering accordingly to make the most of your customers’ appetite.

You can also let customers pay how they want, with either Visa, Mastercard®, American Express, or JCB.
