Overview
Match day on one payment estate, from the gate to the seat.
Synergy equips stadiums with PAX terminals for every match-day transaction: turnstiles and self-order kiosks run on the IM30 and IM25, while sellers in the stands, the team store and VIP lounges use the A77 and A920 Pro. Every sale goes through one omnichannel acquiring engine, so the club sees ticketing, food and merchandise revenue together.
