Two-week deployment enables processor-agnostic mobile payments, giving restaurants greater control over payment costs and technology choices
SEAL BEACH, Calif., July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MagTek, a global leader in secure payment technology and security solutions, and Winston POS, an innovative POS game changer with cutting-edge technology and outstanding local support, today announced a rapid strategic integration with MagTek's MMS Dyna Devices and the Magensa Payment Protection Gateway (MPPG) via Unigate, creating a processor-agnostic mobile payment solution for POS dealers and restaurants seeking greater flexibility in how they accept and route payments.
In a market increasingly dominated by rigid, proprietary ecosystems, static workflows, and forced processing ties, MagTek and Winston POS are championing a customer-centric approach. Utilizing MagTek's API-driven architecture, the entire integration was completed in just two weeks, allowing Winston POS dealers to rapidly deploy secure, mobile workflows for tableside service, curbside pickup, patio dining, and off-site delivery. The freedom MagTek gives ISVs results in dealer-first applications.
The combined solution provides more control over the technology stack. Winston POS dealers and customers can select preferred processors, maintain hardware flexibility, and deploy across iOS, Android, and Windows environments without being locked into a single payment ecosystem. Adding MagTek to the Winston payment partner network fits seamlessly into the strategic growth of the emerging restaurant POS system.
For software developers and POS resellers, the integration highlights how MagTek's EMV Common Kernel simplifies deployment across multiple payment acceptance environments. By providing a standardized software layer across the MMS Dyna Device family, ISVs can integrate once and scale across countertop, handheld, outdoor, and unattended payment workflows without rebuilding payment architecture.
Key to the accelerated deployment was MagTek's pre-certified integration with MPPG. Because the hardware and gateway were already certified together, Winston POS did not require additional payment certification, reducing implementation timelines and helping speed time-to-market.
MagTek's MMS Dyna Devices feature PCI PTS 6.x certification, SRED security, AES encryption, tokenization, and support for magnetic stripe, EMV chip, EMV contactless, NFC, barcode, and mobile wallet transactions. Combined with MPPG, the solution delivers end-to-end encryption and a unified payment layer that supports both card-present and card-not-present transactions.
DynaFlex II Go, designed for mobility, serves as the primary payment peripheral for the deployment, supporting tap, dip, swipe, barcode reading, QR workflows, and digital wallets. Additional support for DynaProx and DynaFlex II PED allows Winston POS to support a broad range of restaurant workflows, including outdoor service, line-busting, and customer-facing checkout.
"Beyond the strategic advantages, the integration itself was remarkably efficient," Koen Lavrijssen, Founder & CEO of Winston POS. "MagTek's architecture allowed us to move from development to deployment in just two weeks while preserving a fast and intuitive checkout experience for restaurant staff and guests. This allows us to expand our processor-agnostic strategy and offer an excellent solution to even more POS dealers and merchants. Offering complete freedom of choice is central to Winston's mission, and that freedom is now being expanded with MagTek."
"Restaurant operators increasingly want freedom to choose the payment partners and hardware that best support their business," said John Arato, Chief Sales Officer of MagTek. "Winston POS demonstrates how ISVs can use MagTek's certified ecosystem to reduce development complexity, accelerate deployment, and deliver modern restaurant payment experiences without compromising flexibility."
