ToneTag's RetailPOD 3.0 brings contactless payments to basic phones
ToneTag just dropped the RetailPOD 3.0—a small, dual-screen device that rolls payments, inventory tracking, customer engagement, and analytics into one smart package.
It's built for shop owners who want to keep up with big retail and online competition.
It has a customer-facing screen that pops up QR codes
RetailPOD 3.0 has a 3.5-inch screen facing customers that pops up QR codes for quick payments.
You can use voice commands (in 12 Indian languages!) to check transactions or manage offers, and everything syncs to the cloud so you can track inventory or suppliers in real time from a simple dashboard.
Earlier versions cost around ₹2,400 plus GST
The magic is in ToneTag's sound tech: it lets even basic phones make contactless payments using encrypted sound waves—no internet needed.
The new model's price isn't out yet, but earlier versions cost around ₹2,400 plus GST—so expect something similar if you're thinking of upgrading your shop setup.
