When you’re running a small business, how you get paid matters. You need something fast, reliable, and simple to set up. And sometimes, you just want a card machine that works seamlessly with your point of sale (POS) system, without pairing headaches slowing you down at checkout.
That’s where the Yoco Neo Touch comes in.
Known by many as the 'little square one' or 'the cute one,' the Neo Touch is built to pair directly with Yoco POS software - whether you’re using Yoco Counter or the Yoco POS App on your own tablet.
Cloud connectivity means you never have to rely on a phone for payments, so there’s no risk of dropped transactions or disconnected sales. Just switch it on, link it to your POS, and you’re ready to start accepting payments at your sales counter.
You can even upload your own brand logo to the Neo Touch screen for a personal, professional touch at checkout. It also comes with a free charging cable to keep your counter neat and tidy.
Here’s a quick look at what makes the Neo Touch a favourite for South African businesses.
Built for connected payments
The Neo Touch is our recommended device for customer-facing, counter setups using POS software. It integrates seamlessly Yoco’s free, built-in POS software, as well as a range of third-party options:
Lightspeed
SallyPOS
TallOrder
Loyverse (iOS only)
Its integration with Yoco’s POS software means you get a real-time view of sales, stock, and team activity in one place.
Why it helps: There’s no need for manual reconciliation and mismatched records - with POS integration, everything syncs instantly and accurately.
Fast, modern, and customer-friendly
The Neo Touch accepts all major cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX) and mobile wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Payments process in under 3 seconds, and it connects via built-in 4G or WiFi, so you’re never left chasing signal.
Why it helps: You get paid quickly, and your customers enjoy a smooth checkout experience.
Tip-friendly, team-friendly
Tipping is built into the Neo Touch payment flow. Customers are prompted to leave a tip before they pay. It helps make the process feel natural (not awkward) and boosts how much your team earns.
Why it helps: Businesses using Neo Touch often report double the tips - your team gets rewarded without needing to ask.
Customise your counter
Add your brand logo as a screensaver on your Neo Touch to personalise your checkout setup and create a sleek, consistent brand experience that reinforces your brand every time someone pays.
Why it helps: Customers remember experiences that look and feel professional. It’s the small details that leave big impressions.
Optional standalone use
While Neo Touch truly shines when integrated with a POS system, it can also be used as a standalone card machine where you can:
view sales reports,
send digital receipts, and
accept tips (right from the screen).
It has all day battery life and a dual SIM card built in - or you can connect it via Wi-Fi for uninterrupted trading.
Why it helps: It’s less devices and tech to worry about. No phone, app, or tablet needed. Just turn your Neo Touch on and accept payments with ease.

Once-off device cost: R999
