Our take
Over recent years fintech innovators have been pushing to try and make brick-and-mortar commerce competitively seamless with online shopping. An area of particular focus is payments: how to offer them fast, directly, and hassle-free. KodyPay is one company trying to solve this issue for the hospitality sector.
Kodypay offers hospitality businesses a complete payments solution that aggregates QR, terminal and third party delivery services. By marketing itself as a sole payments provider, KodyPay seeks to displace legacy terminal providers, as well as providing QR web flow products. As such KodyPay offers its customers a simpler and more cost effective means of managing payments.
Sunday, Zapper, Droplet, and FlyPay are among the many companies offering similar services with strong uptake and healthy funding, but KodyPay's all-in-one proposition will give it a vital edge.
