Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A palm-sized touchscreen displays a one-time code when a till needs to hand over a receipt, ticket, warranty, menu, or other hosted page.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The workflow reserves one of the monthly codes before display, then settles it only after the box confirms that the code appeared; failed confirmations expire and release the reservation. The page exposes example API and MQTT messages, including an idempotency key and device acknowledgement, while keeping the customer’s hosted URL outside Maratus’s stated view. The touchscreen is also described as a 720 × 720 branded canvas with configurable logo, text, theme, and background.
