Checkout should be the easiest part of a client’s visit, and across a brand with many locations it should look the same at every one. MyTime Pay now supports Ingenico’s AXIUM payment terminals: the DX8000, RX9000, RX7000, RX5000, and EX8000, a line of Android-powered devices that move clients through payment faster and on a newer security standard than the terminals most businesses are running today.
For brands still on previous-generation hardware, the difference is concrete. The AXIUM line runs on a faster quad-core processor with up to four times the RAM and over thirty times the storage, it’s certified to PCI PTS v6 rather than the older v5 standard, and it’s the platform Ingenico is carrying forward as payment technology changes. Same payment workflow inside MyTime, better hardware underneath it, and one hardware standard a brand can run everywhere.
What payment terminals does MyTime Pay support?
MyTime Pay supports a growing range of Ingenico credit card terminals, now including the AXIUM line. These are modern devices built on Android, bringing a faster, smoother checkout experience to the platform. You can see the full list of supported hardware at hardware.mytime.com.
How are the AXIUM terminals an upgrade over older payment terminals?
Payment hardware across a growing brand tends to accumulate rather than get chosen. Locations open at different times, buy what’s available then, and end up running terminals of different ages at different speeds. The AXIUM line is a generational step up from that older hardware, and a single standard a brand can put in place across every location.
Terminals like the Lane and Move series run on a proprietary operating system built solely to process payments. The AXIUM line runs on Android, with the hardware to match: a significantly faster quad-core processor, up to four times the RAM, and over thirty times the storage of the devices many businesses are running today.
At the front desk, that difference shows up in three ways.
Checkout stops being the bottleneck. With up to four times the memory of previous-generation terminals and a faster quad-core processor behind it, the AXIUM line moves clients through payment quickly, so the front desk keeps moving during the busiest stretch of the day rather than backing up while a terminal catches up.
Less to learn, and less to get wrong. Android is the most widely used operating system in the world, and the AXIUM touchscreen experience is closer to a smartphone than to a legacy terminal menu. For a brand hiring continuously across many locations, that means new staff pick up checkout quickly instead of learning a system that exists nowhere else in their lives.
No payment a client can’t make. The terminals accept tap-to-pay, chip, swipe, and digital wallets, so staff are ready for however a client chooses to pay, whether they’re settling up for a service, a membership, or a retail add-on, and no location is the one that can’t take a client’s preferred method.
Are the AXIUM terminals more secure than older terminals?
Every terminal in the AXIUM line is certified to PCI PTS v6 with full EMV compliance, a newer security standard than the one previous-generation terminals were certified against. Several models add physical protections on top of that certification, including skimming detection and tamper detection that can flag abnormal cable removal. Payment is a moment where clients are trusting the business with their card details, and across a brand with many locations, that standard is only as strong as the oldest terminal still running.
Is there a terminal for every kind of front desk?
The AXIUM line covers the range of setups a service business actually runs, from a fixed terminal at the front desk to a compact or handheld device for taking payment on the floor or at the chair. For businesses that operate on the move, there are also options with 4G/LTE connectivity, so payment isn’t tied to a fixed counter or a local network. Whatever the checkout looks like at each location, there’s a device that fits it, and because they all run on MyTime Pay the same way, a brand can standardize hardware across every location instead of managing a different setup at each one.
Will this hardware still be current in a few years?
That’s the plan behind it. AXIUM is the platform Ingenico is carrying forward, designed to be adapted as payment technology changes rather than replaced. More than 8 million Ingenico Android terminals have been sold across more than 40 countries. For a brand rolling hardware out across dozens of locations, that matters: standardizing on the AXIUM line means the terminals going in today won’t be the constraint on what the brand can do at checkout in a few years.
Does switching to a new terminal change how I take payments?
The payment experience inside MyTime stays exactly the same. The terminals are newer and more capable, but staff take payments the way they always have, so a hardware rollout across many locations doesn’t come with retraining attached. The upgrade happens in the hardware, not the workflow.

How are the AXIUM terminals different from older payment terminals?
The AXIUM line runs on Android rather than a proprietary payment-only operating system, with a faster quad-core processor, up to four times the RAM, and over thirty times the storage of previous-generation devices. That translates into quicker checkout, a familiar touchscreen interface, and support for tap, chip, swipe, and digital wallet payments. Options range from fixed front-desk terminals to handheld and mobile 4G/LTE devices for taking payment anywhere.
Are the AXIUM terminals more secure?
Yes. Every AXIUM terminal is certified to PCI PTS v6 with full EMV compliance, a newer standard than the certification on previous-generation hardware, and several models add skimming and tamper detection.
Do I have to change how I take payments to use a new terminal?
No. The payment workflow inside MyTime stays the same. The new terminals add modern, secure hardware without changing how staff process transactions.
How do I upgrade my payment terminal?
Existing MyTime Pay merchants can contact support@mytime.com to discuss terminal options, or visit hardware.mytime.com to view the supported lineup. Already have your terminal? Our setup guide walks you through getting it up and running. Read the setup guide here.
