Only you can move it
Every transfer out is signed by you, on your side. There is no arrangement in which the panel moves your money for you, automatic or otherwise.
Crypto payments for your shop
Take crypto at your counter.
Take crypto at your counter.
Your customer just scans.
AgPOS is a panel for your shop. You set up the charge, your customer scans a QR that already carries the amount, and the payment shows up next to the sale it belongs to. Anyone on your team can take a payment without touching the wallet, and the money goes to your wallet, not ours.
We are starting with shops in Argentina and talking to the first ones now. If you are
somewhere else, write anyway and say where.
01Taking crypto today
Taking crypto today means reading out a number and hoping.
A shop that accepts crypto does it with whatever it has: a very long address read off a piece of paper, a QR taped next to the till, or a screenshot sent over WhatsApp. It works, more or less. What it costs you is that the decisions that matter land on your customer, standing at your counter with people waiting behind them, and the problems land on you, afterwards.
01 · Who can charge
Only the owner can take the payment
The wallet is yours and it is on your phone. If you are not there, nobody takes crypto. And you cannot stand at the till all day.
02 · The amount
Your customer types it
One digit out and you are short, or refunding by hand. You find out after they have left.
03 · The network
Your customer picks it, and that is where money disappears
The same coin can travel by several routes. Send it by the wrong one and it does not come back the way a bank transfer would. This is the part that scares people, and they are right.
04 · The sale
Nothing says which transfer was which sale
At the end of the day you have a list of payments and a list of sales, and matching them is done by hand, from memory. Your accountant gets a mess.
How it works today
From the owner's wallet
02What AgPOS does
You set up the charge.
You set up the charge.
Your customer just scans.
The amount, the destination and the network are decided on your side, where the sale is, and they travel inside the QR. Your customer's wallet reads all three. There is nothing for them to type and nothing for them to choose.
How it works with AgPOS
Anyone on your team, from their own phone
01
A QR that already carries the amount and the reference
You enter the amount in the currency you price in — pesos, in Argentina — and the panel builds the code for that sale and shows it on the screen you already have. Your customer scans with their wallet, and the amount, the network and the address are all inside.
02
Your team charges without touching your wallet
You add the people who work with you, and each one confirms a charge with the fingerprint or face of their own phone, from the browser. Nobody shares a password. Nobody has your keys.
03
You watch the payment land, live
The panel reads the chain and shows you each payment as it arrives: how much, in what, over which network, and which sale it belongs to. No waiting on anyone, and no separate app to check.
04
You set the rate
You choose which exchange rate to use to go from your prices to crypto, and you change it whenever you want. The panel applies it to every charge and records it on the sale.
05
A discount for paying in crypto, if you want one
You can offer a percentage off to customers who pay in crypto. Turn it on or off whenever you like, and it is recorded on every sale so the numbers still add up.
06
Reports your accountant can read
Every charge is stored with its date, its amount, who took it and which sale it belongs to. You download a spreadsheet your accountant can open without anyone explaining it.
03Your money
The money goes to your wallet.
The money goes to your wallet.
Argentum never touches it.
Payments go from your customer's wallet to yours. They do not pass through Argentum on the way, Argentum does not hold them for a second, and Argentum does not convert them. This is not a policy we could quietly change later: the panel holds no key of yours. It reads what has arrived at the addresses you gave it and shows it to you. It cannot sign anything, so it cannot move anything.
Turning some of it into local currency is a different thing, and a regulated one. It is done by a partner licensed to do it, not by Argentum. You send that partner what you want to convert, signing it yourself from your own wallet, and they credit the money to your account. You choose when, and you choose how much.
Convert what you need
Most shops want local currency for what they have to pay this week and leave the rest alone. Converting small amounts one at a time costs more in fees than it is worth, so the panel shows you the numbers and you decide.
Licensed, and not us
Taking in a shop's money and passing it on requires licences, different in every country. Argentum does not hold them and is not going to apply for them. We make software.
Said plainly, because it decides everything above
Argentum does not receive, hold, move or convert your shop's money, and is not built to. What we make is the panel, the charge QR and the reports.
It is the same commitment Argentum Wallet is built on. It is written here so that it can never later be presented as a limitation we discovered along the way. It describes our position and is not legal advice to anyone.
Which country, and what that changes
We are starting in Argentina, which is why the examples on this page are Argentine ones. That is where we are, not the edge of what the software does: taking a charge, reading the chain and producing the reports work the same anywhere, because none of it depends on a local bank.
What does depend on the country is converting to local currency, because that needs a partner licensed in that jurisdiction. We do not have one signed anywhere yet, so this page does not claim the service is available in any country, and there is no price and no date attached to it. When there is a partner, this page will say so and name the country.
If you are somewhere else and this is useful to you, write to us anyway. We would rather tell you plainly what works where you are than sign you up for something that does not.
04Balancing the till
How do you know everything charged
How do you know everything charged
ended up in your wallet?
It is the first question an owner asks once they realise their team will be able to take payments without them standing there. And the first part of the answer is the uncomfortable one: none of this stops someone from charging outside AgPOS, the same way nothing stops someone taking cash and not writing it down. AgPOS does not detect fraud and does not prevent it, and we are not going to tell you otherwise.
What it does is leave signals while a payment is being taken and numbers at closing time, so you can compare them with what you already know about your shop. It is balancing the till: the same thing you already do with the card terminal and the cash. There are six of them, and none is enough on its own.
01
Every charge says who made it
Whoever creates the QR signs it with the fingerprint on their own phone, right then. Their name stays attached to the charge: on the screen, in the monthly report and in the spreadsheet your accountant opens.
02
Your team charges without your keys
Each person signs in with the fingerprint on their own phone, with no shared passwords and without touching your wallet. You take someone's access away whenever you want and they stop being able to charge on the spot; what they already charged stays in the history, with their name on it.
03
Your name in the middle of the QR
The code carries your shop's name in the centre, like the payment apps your customers already use. One that is not yours looks different from the other side of the counter, without anyone having to read anything.
04
A different colour on every charge
The QR is shown on a coloured frame, and your panel shows you which one it is at that moment. It changes with every charge and does not follow from the last one: to know the colour of a charge, that charge has to be created. There are six colours, each with its name written next to it.
05
The close, when you pull the shutter down
You close the day, not midnight. The close gives you the total AgPOS took since the previous one, per person, per currency and per network: that is what you compare with your own sales system. A close, once made, is not edited and not deleted.
06
Watch it live, if you feel like watching
A big screen with the payments coming in and, at the top, what is on show right now and in which colour. You do not have to watch it: the day adds up the same whether anyone is looking or not.
How they hold each other up
No signal on its own proves anything, which is why there is not just one. What makes them useful is that making one of them look normal means leaving a trace in another.
01 · The QR
One that is not yours looks different
It does not carry your shop's name in the centre, and the frame is not the colour you are looking at in your panel at that moment. Two things you notice from across the room, without interrupting anyone.
02 · The colour
It comes from the charge, not from the clock
To know which colour a charge gets, it has to be created in AgPOS for real. A charge that is created and then never paid expires, and gets counted in the day. An expired one proves nothing — customers change their mind all the time — but a lot of them with no explanation is something to look at.
03 · The screen
If no charge is open, the panel says so
When nobody is showing an AgPOS QR, the live view says it in as many words: no charge screen open. If there is a customer scanning something in your shop at that moment, it did not come from here.
04 · The numbers
And at the end of the day there is the close
What is not visible in the moment shows up in the comparison with your sales system. The panel does not write the payments: it reads them off the chain, where nobody changes them any more, ourselves included.
The limit, said plainly
None of this stops someone from charging outside AgPOS. What it does is make that hard to sustain and easy to notice: imitating one signal means leaving a trace in another, and at the end of the day the numbers are there to compare.
The panel does not accuse anyone and is not built to: it does not compare screens, it does not point at people and it does not decide whether something was right or wrong. A number that goes up with no explanation is something to look at, not proof of anything. The signals are there so you have something to compare against; the conclusion is yours.
05What you need
A phone, a wallet that is yours, and nothing to install.
The panel opens in a browser, on a phone or on the shop's computer. Your team logs in from their own phones. There is no hardware to buy.
- A wallet of your own. That is where the money lands, with your keys. If you do not have one yet, we will walk you through setting it up and what to watch for; the wallet is yours, not Argentum's.
- A phone or the shop's computer. To show the QR and see the payments. Any browser works.
- The people who take payments. You add them yourself, by name, and each one logs in with their own phone's fingerprint. You remove them whenever you want, and what they already charged stays in the history.
