In September 2026, NEXGO, the international brand of XGD Inc., made appearances at two major industry events: NRF Retail's Big Show Europe 2026 in Paris and Seamless Middle East 2026 in Dubai.

From Europe's retail heartland to the Middle East's digital finance hub, NEXGO showcased its latest payment terminals, SoftPOS solutions, and end-to-end retail payment innovations under the theme of "AI + Payments," highlighting the strength of China's payment technology ecosystem and its capabilities in serving global markets.

Paris: Enabling Retail Digitalization and Smarter Store Operations

NRF Retail's Big Show Europe is one of Europe's leading retail industry events. Co-organized by the National Retail Federation (NRF) and Comexposium, it brings together global retailers and technology providers across the retail value chain, covering retail technology, omnichannel commerce, sustainability, supply chain innovation, and smart payments. The event explores the future of retail through topics such as AI-powered retail, intelligent stores, omnichannel integration, and enhanced customer experiences.

At the event, NEXGO presented an integrated approach to retail digitalization, spanning payment acceptance, intelligent store operations, and value-added services.

1. EF60 Smart Checkout Terminal

As an industry-first, fully integrated mini smart checkout terminal, the EF60 features a dual-screen design, combining an operator-facing main display with a customer-facing screen to improve checkout efficiency and the in-store customer experience.

Its performance supports multiple checkout applications, including daily transactions, membership management, and inventory operations. Suitable for both staffed checkout counters and self-service environments, the EF60 offers retailers a flexible solution tailored to different store formats and workflows.

2. SoftPOS Solutions

NEXGO TAP, the company's lightweight SoftPOS solution, transforms compatible mobile devices into secure, compliant payment acceptance terminals. Designed for scenarios such as temporary retail stalls, mobile checkout, and home delivery, it extends payment acceptance beyond traditional counters and gives retailers greater operational flexibility.

3. Smart Payment Acceptance

NEXGO showcased its next-generation payment terminal portfolio, including the UN10, UN20, and N62, covering countertop checkout, mobile payments, and self-service applications.

Supporting card, chip, contactless, and QR code payments, these terminals offer flexible hardware and software configurations to meet the needs of diverse retail environments, from small stores to medium-sized and large checkout operations.

4. Centralized Store Management

The NEXGO CLOUD platform enables retailers to manage devices across multiple stores through centralized control, remote maintenance, and operational data management. By connecting previously isolated devices, the platform supports centralized management across geographically dispersed retail networks, helping chain operators move from fragmented operations toward unified, data-driven management.

5. AI-Powered Retail Innovation

NEXGO presented a range of AI-enabled applications, including voice-based ordering, real-time bilingual translation at checkout, AI-powered loss prevention, and intelligent device management.

Voice interaction helps reduce staff workload, while real-time translation addresses language barriers in international retail environments.

From payments and store operations to AI and value-added services, NEXGO demonstrated a comprehensive retail digitalization solution designed to help retailers improve efficiency, enhance customer experiences, and unlock new growth opportunities.

Dubai: Advancing Payment Innovation and Infrastructure

Seamless Middle East is a major event for the payments and financial technology industries across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Bringing together banks, acquirers, payment service providers, and fintech companies, the event focuses on payment technology, digital finance, and commercial innovation, covering key areas such as smart cards, mobile payments, digital banking, and digital identity.

For payment industry customers, NEXGO showcased its end-to-end capabilities in payment infrastructure, spanning terminal hardware, cloud platforms, core acquiring services, and value-added solutions.

3. Expanding Payment Networks Through Value-Added Services

NEXGO also showcased its POD solution, which complements existing payment networks by enabling operators to expand into value-added services such as shared power-bank rentals.

By integrating these services with existing payment infrastructure, operators can unlock additional commercial value from offline locations and develop new revenue streams beyond traditional payment acquiring.

4. Intelligent Operations and Risk Management

NEXGO's AI ecosystem brings greater intelligence to payment operations. Smart device management enables predictive fault detection and proactive maintenance, helping improve terminal uptime and availability. AI-powered data analytics also helps operators identify transaction trends and potential anomalies, supporting better-informed business decisions and stronger payment network security.

The NEXGO CLOUD platform demonstrated its capabilities in centralized management of large-scale terminal fleets for payment service providers and acquirers. Key functions include remote device control, over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates, transaction status monitoring, and precise fault identification.

These capabilities help operators reduce the cost of maintaining large terminal fleets while improving network stability and operational efficiency.

In Dubai, NEXGO demonstrated not simply a portfolio of payment devices, but an integrated technology foundation designed to support the ongoing expansion of payment businesses and accelerate digital transformation across the MENA region.

AI-Powered Payments for the Future of Global Retail
