The modern API v2 interface has been available for our terminals since 2019. It offers more stability, greater security and is the basis for future functions relating to time recording, bookings and employee management. To ensure a smooth transition period for our customers, the previous API v1 remained active - but this transition phase will end soon.

What is changing?

The old API v1 will be switched off from January 2026. We will announce the exact date in good time and inform all customers separately before the deactivation.

In concrete terms, this means

  • Older terminal apps (released before 2020) that still communicate via API v1 will no longer work after this date

  • New devices and current terminal apps are already fully compatible with API v2

What you should do now

To ensure that your terminals continue to function smoothly, we recommend checking the systems in good time and updating them if necessary.

1. update the terminal app

Open the terminal app on your Android or iOS device and make sure that the latest version is installed.

👨‍💻 If an update is available: simply install - the new interface will be used automatically.

2. alternative: use the browser terminal

If your current device no longer supports app updates, you can also start the terminal directly in the browser:

3. order a new device

If you are still using very old hardware, we recommend requesting an up-to-date terminal from our sales department.

Advantages of modern devices:

  • Immediately compatible with API v2

  • Significantly better performance

  • Modern, more stable user experience

  • Future-proof for new functions

  • higher data security thanks to modern encryption

  • more reliable offline function

  • Less maintenance effort

Why this change is necessary

The old interface (API v1) was technically outdated and can no longer fulfil today's requirements for data security, performance and expandability.

With API v2 you benefit from:

✔ greater stability and speed
✔ Modern encryption & more data security
✔ Future-proofing for new functions (e.g. additional booking types, extended terminal functions)

Conclusion

Switching off the old API is an important step towards keeping your terminal infrastructure secure and future-proof.

Please check your devices by the end of 2025 at the latest to ensure that your terminal operations continue without interruption.

If you need assistance - for example with device testing or ordering new hardware - our support team will be happy to help.
