Why Every Business Needs a Backup Payments System — And How SLS Delivers

Most businesses only think about payment systems when they stop working.

A broken card terminal, failed internet connection, or system downtime doesn’t just create operational stress — it costs sales, frustrates customers, and disrupts cash flow.

That’s where Secure Link Services (SLS) and our 4G-enabled payment terminals come in.

They’re not designed to replace your existing setup — they’re designed to support it. A fast, flexible backup that keeps your payments flowing, no matter what.

Why Backups Matter

Even if your primary payment system works 99% of the time, that 1% can be critical. Outages can happen unexpectedly:

• Internet goes down mid-transaction
• Card machine crashes or disconnects
• Software updates take systems offline
• Customers can’t pay remotely when they need to

When your main solution fails, having a Plan B can mean the difference between making a sale and missing it entirely.

How Secure Link Services Works as a Backup

SLS lets you send a branded, secure payment link to a customer via email or SMS in just a few clicks. Whether you’re asking for payment before delivery, on invoice, or after the fact — it’s seamless.

It doesn’t require a portal, login, or any app. Your customer taps the link, enters card details, and pays instantly.

And because it’s browser-based, you can send payment links from a phone, tablet, or laptop — even if your normal EPOS system is offline.

Pair It with Our 4G Terminals for Complete Coverage

We also offer a range of payment terminals with built-in 4G connectivity, meaning you’re never reliant on local Wi-Fi. Whether you’re out on the road, at a pop-up site, or just dealing with a Wi-Fi blackout — payments stay online.

It’s ideal for:

• Mobile operators and delivery drivers
• On-site sales at events or shows
• Businesses in rural or low-signal areas
• Shops needing a quick failover during peak times

No Need to Replace Your Current Setup

You don’t need to rip out your existing payment infrastructure. Think of this as an add-on, not an overhaul.

We integrate seamlessly with your CRM, ERP, or accounting platform — and if you’re using MYPOS Connect, everything’s already in place to activate SLS and our terminals as backup options.

Peace of Mind, Built In

In today’s world, not being able to take a payment isn’t an inconvenience — it’s a revenue risk. With SLS and 4G-ready terminals, you get the peace of mind that no matter what happens, you’ve always got a way to collect payment.
