A compact terminal with a tactile PIN pad for checkouts that need real buttons
The Rivo Link is a compact terminal with a backlit tactile keypad and dedicated OK and cancel keys, for checkouts where the PIN is entered on real buttons rather than glass. A bright colour display shows the amount due in unmissable type, then animated prompts guide the tap or the insert. It supports full EMV and contactless, connects over Wi-Fi or 4G, issues digital receipts, and RapidCents injects keys and manages the fleet remotely.

The keypad
Real keys, for the customers who want them
Some people will not enter a PIN on glass, and some staff key amounts faster than they can read a screen. The backlit pad has dedicated accept and cancel keys you can find without looking, which is the whole argument for it.

The screen
One amount, one instruction
The colour display shows what is owed and what to do next, and nothing else. On a small device that restraint is what keeps a queue moving.

The size
Goes where the sale is
It fits one hand, which matters at a table, a window or a market stall more than any specification does. The smallest of the three, and the one that leaves the counter most often.
The other RapidCents terminals
Same platform, same pricing, same dashboard. The choice is about the hardware.
All major card brands: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Interac debit
Who it's for
Counters that want real keys
Customers who will not enter a PIN on glass, and staff who key faster than they read.
Table-side and curbside
A one-hand body that goes where the sale is.
Trucks, windows and market stalls
Compact enough for a service window with no counter to spare.

Tactile PIN pad
A backlit keypad with dedicated OK and cancel keys, so customers enter a PIN with confidence and staff key amounts without looking down.

The amount due appears in unmissable type, then animated prompts guide the tap or the insert, which is how double charges get avoided.
Tap, chip and swipe
Full EMV and contactless support on a device that fits one hand.
Wi-Fi and 4G
Every location stays connected, from the counter to the curb.
Digital receipts
Digital receipts and on-screen prompts take paper out of the exchange.
Remote key injection and fleet management
Keys are injected remotely and the fleet is managed from the dashboard.
PCI PTS certified
PCI PTS certification and EMV Level 1, 2 and 3, with point-to-point encryption.
How it works
The Rivo Link arrives pre-provisioned to your RapidCents merchant account.
Unbox it, charge it and connect it to Wi-Fi or 4G.
Run a test sale so staff learn the keypad before a queue forms behind it.
Take the first live sale, with the amount on the display and the customer tapping or inserting and entering the PIN on the keys.
Close the batch; the sale settles and appears in the merchant dashboard.

Questions about Rivo Link
What does the Rivo Link accept?+
Tap, chip and swipe, with full EMV and contactless support. The PIN is entered on the physical backlit keypad rather than on glass.
Does it need internet?+
It connects over Wi-Fi or 4G, so losing one leaves the other. With no connectivity at all, store-and-forward depends on the device and its configuration, and your advisor confirms what applies to your account.
What happens if it gets dropped?+
The Rivo Link is a compact handheld and does not carry the drop-resistant silicone armour of the Rivo Go. Where terminals get dropped regularly, ask about the Rivo Go. A damaged Rivo Link is replaced through your advisor.
How is a terminal replaced?+
Your RapidCents advisor arranges it, and the turnaround, the shipping and the treatment of a damaged unit are worth confirming in writing before you need them. The replacement ships pre-provisioned to your merchant account and needs only a short activation and a test transaction before it takes a sale.
Why choose the Rivo Link over the Rivo Touch?+
The keypad. The Rivo Link enters the PIN on backlit physical keys with dedicated OK and cancel, which suits customers who will not use glass and staff who key faster than they read. The Rivo Touch is the all-screen device instead.
Does it print receipts?+
The Rivo Link issues digital receipts and runs its prompts on screen, which takes paper out of the exchange. Where a printed receipt is required at the counter, the Rivo Go carries a thermal printer inside.
Will it work at a service window or a market stall?+
Yes. It is compact enough to work one-handed where there is no counter to spare, and it connects over Wi-Fi or 4G, so a truck window, a table or a curbside handoff all take a card the same way.
How is the Rivo Link priced?+
As hardware plus processing, quoted separately. The device can be owned or rented, processing can be interchange-plus or bundled, and the agreement can be month-to-month or a term. Keys are injected remotely, so a new unit does not have to be sent away to be prepared.
RapidCents Fee Check reads a processing statement and shows interchange separately from the markup. Upload a statement for an instant breakdown, or open a merchant account and start accepting payments on one account.
