Nayax Onyx

Nayax Onyx – a vending payment terminal with a touchscreen and 4G connectivity

The Nayax Onyx is a stationary payment terminal designed with self-service machines in mind. Fitted with a 2.4-inch colour touchscreen, a 4G module, NFC and IP55 protection, it accepts contactless payments – including contactless BLIK – both indoors and outdoors. Deployment costs start from just PLN 1 net per month.

Intended use and usage scenarios for the Nayax Onyx terminal

The Nayax Onyx payment terminal is at home in drinks, snack and coffee machines, as well as in car washes, self-service launderettes, electric vehicle charging stations and parking meters.

A vending terminal has to cope with demanding conditions, which is why the Onyx comes with vandal-resistant Gorilla Glass, a shock and tilt sensor, and an IP55 housing resistant to dust and water.

Support for the MDB, DEX, DDCMP, Pulse, VCCS, ccTalk and JVMA protocols allows integration with practically every type of machine on the market, with no need to replace an entire fleet of devices. Multilingual instructions displayed on screen and played back by voice in 36 languages make it possible to serve customers in tourist and international locations.

Key business benefits

4G, Ethernet and NFC connectivity guarantees that the cashless Nayax Onyx payment terminal stays online even where Wi-Fi coverage is unstable. The device supports over 80 payment methods in more than 50 currencies – from contactless payments and BLIK via NFC, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, through to QR codes and prepaid cards.

The colour touchscreen, supporting up to six buttons, simplifies interaction with the customer and can display promotional messages. The secure Onyx payment terminal holds EMV Level 1 and Level 2 certification and complies with PCI P2PE, while DES, 3DES, AES, RSA, ECC and SHA1 encryption algorithms protect transaction data at every stage. Six pulse interfaces and a dual RS232 port allow flexible connection of additional components.

The Nayax Onyx payment terminal can be deployed from just PLN 1 net per month – practically a free payment terminal compared with solutions that require high subscription fees.

Future-readiness and Smart features

Remote software updates over 4G or Ethernet make it possible to roll out new payment methods without a physical visit to the machine. The Nayax Core platform allows you to manage an entire fleet of devices, run loyalty campaigns and display promotions on the screen while it is idle. The DEX protocol provides automatic telemetry readings, which translates into better stock and service management.

Thanks to its broad compatibility with vending protocols, the terminal remains useful even after a machine is replaced with a newer model. It is an investment that does not lose its value with each technological shift in the self-service sector.

The verdict

The Nayax Onyx is the optimal choice for vending operators who want to introduce cashless payments quickly and at low cost. Its vandal-resistant IP55 build, EMV and PCI P2PE certification, support for over 80 payment methods and a price from PLN 1 net per month make it hard to find a solution with a better capability-to-cost ratio.
