Palm Scanner + POS Terminal Integration

Choose the right
palm payment setup.

Before connecting a standalone USB palm vein scanner to a POS terminal, verify power output and data-transfer capability—or select an integrated fixed or mobile palm vein payment device.

Check USB power output

If the POS USB port supports 5V / 1.5A, choose PalmVein01. If it does not, choose PalmVein01 Pro. Both support POS devices running Android, Linux, or Windows.

Confirm USB data transmission

The POS host’s USB interface must have data transfer enabled. A charge-only USB port cannot transmit the biometric information required for payment processing.

Select an integrated device when needed

For a fixed, powered palm vein payment device, choose WavePass500, which communicates with the POS system through Wi-Fi or USB. For mobile payment, choose the EMV/PCI-certified AirOne.

Standalone USB Palm Vein scanner

Match the scanner to the POS USB specification.

BioWavePass adds palm payment capability while the connected POS terminal remains responsible for payment processing and the final transaction result.

✓PalmVein01: for POS USB ports providing 5V / 1.5A power and data transmission.

✓PalmVein01 Pro: the recommended option when the POS USB power output does not meet 5V / 1.5A.

✓The POS host USB port must support bidirectional data transmission with the Palm Vein Scanner; a charge-only USB port is not supported.

✓Both models support Android, Linux, y Windows POS host systems.

PalmVein01 — for POS USB ports supporting 1.5A/5V power output and data transmission.

PalmVein01 Pro — designed for POS integrations where the host USB power output does not support the 1.5A/5V requirement.

Palm payment workflow

From palm scan to completed POS transaction.

Biometric palm recognition and payment processing operate as one coordinated checkout flow while retaining clear device responsibilities.

1. Present palm

The customer holds a palm above the palm vein scanner’s guided capture area.

2. Confirm identity

Palm Vein Biometric Recognition confirms who the payer is and produces a protected, token-like identity result.

3. Transmit identity result

The scanner securely sends the identity result to the connected POS terminal without initiating or controlling payment.

4. Process payment

The POS and payment system independently determine whether payment is initiated, authorized, declined, or successfully completed.

Integrated device options

Fixed counter or mobile palm payment.

Choose an all-in-one device when a separate USB scanner and POS host are not the preferred deployment model.

More USB Palm Vein Scanner applications

Built into kiosks for self-service palm payment.

PalmVein01 or PalmVein01 Pro can be embedded into a kiosk enclosure and connected to the kiosk host by USB. The scanner captures the customer’s palm biometric vector while the kiosk application and payment system complete the transaction.

Self-checkout kiosks Self-ordering kiosks Ticketing kiosks Vending terminals

✓Compact scanner module can be integrated into the kiosk’s customer-facing panel.

✓The kiosk USB port must support data transmission between the host and Palm Vein Scanner.

✓Select PalmVein01 or PalmVein01 Pro according to the kiosk host’s 1.5A/5V USB power output.

Merchant benefits

Add palm payment to the checkout flow.

01 / CONTACTLESS

Natural payment gesture

Customers present a palm above the scanner without handling a card, phone, or the scanner itself.

02 / MODULAR

POS-centered processing

The POS terminal continues to control the transaction while receiving the information required for biometric payment.

03 / DUAL-MODAL

Palmprint + palm vein

Two complementary palm feature types support a robust biometric recognition process for payment use.

Integration concept — the scanner captures the biometric vector and the POS terminal processes the payment transaction.

Secure information handling

Protect the biometric-to-payment pathway.

The integration is designed to transmit protected biometric results and payment-relevant information—not reusable raw palm images—to the authorized POS payment workflow. All data is stored on the customer’s own cloud server and managed in accordance with GDPR requirements.

✓Protected palmprint and palm vein biometric vectors

✓Encrypted scanner-to-POS communication

✓Transaction processing remains within the POS payment flow

✓All data is stored on the customer’s cloud server in accordance with GDPR requirements
