The travel and hospitality industry thrives on innovation, and gateretail is leading the way. This month marks the official opening of its new Barcelona office, the Purple Hub, located at: Carrer del Pintor Goya, 5 – Planta 2, 08213 Polinyà, Barcelona.
The Purple Hub is setup as a vibrant center for collaboration, creativity, and customer experience excellence. One of the standout technologies making an impact here is the MagFusion BP50+, a mobile payment solution built to keep operations fast, secure, and focused on the guest, a sleek, already certified for use with select European customers, and getting ready for a worldwide debut.
Two Devices, One Seamless Experience
The MagFusion BP50+ isn’t just another payment device. It combines smart technology, ergonomic design, and professional-grade security in a way that feels effortless. Imagine your smartphone turning into a secure payment terminal, then docking into a charging hub without the mess of wires or bulky hardware. Whether your team is on the move, at the counter, or mid-shift, this pairing helps them serve, charge, and sell faster and more efficiently.
In travel retail and hospitality, time really does matter. Guests want quick, easy transactions so they can get back to enjoying their journey. The BP50+ PIN Pad delivers just that, with a vibrant colour display and support for chip and contactless payments. For added flexibility, there’s also an optional magnetic stripe reader. Lightweight and easy to carry, it is perfect for mobile staff, from duty-free assistants at airports to cabin crew or in-hotel dining teams.
The MagFusion Advantage
The MagFusion cradle quietly does the heavy lifting. Compact and light, it keeps the BP50+ secure, charged, and ready for action. Its high-strength magnetic grip (N52) and durable dual-material build (TPU + PC) mean it can handle the demands of busy service without losing its sleek look. It works with all BP-50+ configurations, including SCR, NFC, and MSR models, turning your payment kit into one streamlined handheld terminal. Just snap it in, power up, and keep moving.
Cables are a nuisance, especially in busy service environments. The MagFusion works seamlessly with a multi-device charging dock, so your team simply drops the device in and it powers up. No wires, no tangles, just an organised fleet of devices ready for the next service rush.
Its modular design means quick spare replacements, keeping downtime low and service standards high. With support for most global payment methods, including chip, contactless, NFC, and MSR, you can serve guests from anywhere in the world with ease.
Why It Matters for gateretail and the Industry
The MagFusion BP50+ is part of that story, ensuring frictionless, premium experiences that match the ever-rising expectations of today’s travellers.
Small in size, big on impact, the MagFusion BP50+ is more than a payment device. It is a performance upgrade, perfectly aligned with gateretail’s vision for innovation in retail and hospitality.
