Terminals
POS that survives the rush.
Zebra TC27 Touch Computers for the gates. Existing card processing terminals for the vendors who already trained on them. Permanent retail counter terminals for the bars and concessions that stay open after the show closes. All running the same Ludo wallet, vendor settlement, and live ops dashboard. Or run your own fleet of iPhones and Androids with tap-to-pay if that fits better.

Zebra TC27 rugged Android handheld
Zebra TC27
Built for pressure.
Powered by the Zebra TC27, Ludo runs on hardware designed for pressure. The TC27 series earned international design recognition for a reason: it feels like a modern smartphone, but performs like industrial equipment.
With 5G and Wi-Fi 6E, devices stay connected across dense, high-traffic environments, whether you're on cellular or venue networks.
Battery options are designed for event days. A standard battery covers a full shift, while an extended battery supports longer days and sustained peak loads, reducing swaps and keeping operations moving.
Tap to pay for all major cards
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, eftpos, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other major card networks supported by Stripe all run through the same Ludo checkout flow.
Shown examples. Support extends to all major cards available through Stripe.
Phone-like, not fragile
The TC27 series earned iF Design Award recognition because it feels modern without pretending it is consumer hardware.
5G and Wi-Fi 6E
Devices stay connected across dense, high-traffic environments, whether the day runs on cellular or venue networks.
Battery for event days
Standard batteries cover a full shift. Extended batteries support longer days and sustained peak loads with fewer swaps.
It's simple: fast to use, hard to break, and built to keep going when the crowd shows up.

Certified hardware
Three device families for different jobs.
Different jobs need different terminals. Ludo runs on all three so the venue doesn't have to pick the wrong tool. Hardware, freight, spares, and field support are scoped transparently during quote review.
Zebra TC27 Touch Computer
The rugged handheld for gates, stewards, and roving operations. It feels familiar in the hand, adds 5G and Wi-Fi 6E for dense venues, and gives teams standard or extended battery options for the length of the day.
- Gate scanning and ticket redemption
- Apple Wallet stadium check-in
- Stewards and roving payment ops
Existing card processor terminals
For venues with a card processor fleet already deployed, the same handheld and counter hardware fits straight into the Ludo checkout flow. Tap, chip, and swipe, with the same Ludo wallet, vendor settlement, and live ops dashboard behind every till.
- Venues with an existing card processor fleet
- Concession bars and retail
- In-app POS for vendor-owned stalls
Permanent retail counter terminals
Counter, on-the-go, and full-station terminals already deployed across hundreds of thousands of small businesses. Ludo runs as a listed app and reseller on the major retail terminal platforms, so the same till that handles concessions during the show carries on after the gates close.
- Retail counters and bars
- Year-round venues
- Carnival operators with existing terminal fleets
Choose the device path for the job. Zebra, Clover, permanent counters, and supported iPhone or Android fleets can all fit different deployment roles where the payment setup and device policy allow it. Ludo keeps wallet, settlement, and dashboard data coherent across the mix.
01
Built for the rush
Near-instant tap-to-pay keeps vendors selling when the morning rush hits. The fleet behind the scenes scales with the day.
Peak conditionNear-instant checkout response at peak.
02
Real-time vendor ledger allocation
The till records who should be paid. Each transaction allocates to the correct vendor ledger as it happens; payout timing follows the agreed settlement rules.
Operator proofEvery transaction lands on the correct vendor ledger live.
03
Wallet, ticket, NFC, all on one screen
Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, Ludo wristbands, cards, stickers. The same till accepts all of them, with the same checkout flow for the cashier.
Frontline simplicityOne checkout flow for the credentials visitors actually carry.
04
Multi-shift battery swaps
Standard and extended Zebra batteries let teams plan the day instead of hunting chargers. Swap packs between shifts, keep spares charged, and keep terminals moving through the long sessions.
Shift planningExtended packs and spare batteries reduce mid-rush charger runs.
05
Vendors keep what they trained on
Your concession crew already runs their existing till. Your gate stewards already run Zebra. Ludo plugs in as software, not rip-and-replace hardware.
AdoptionSoftware adapts to the fleet where that helps the day run.
