Advertising opportunities with the lidX app – More sales, more customers, more flexibility

Advertising with lidX is more than display placement – it's integrated customer communication in the context of payment.

The digital world is changing – and with it the opportunities to target customers. With our lidX app, we offer you not only an innovative payment solution, but also versatile advertising options directly within the app.

Use your lidX application to place your own advertisements, offers, or customer loyalty programs – and even generate additional revenue by providing advertising space to other companies.

Whether you promote your own offers, integrate partner offers, or participate in nationwide advertising campaigns – the choice is yours! And best of all: You alone decide whether and which advertisements you want to place.

---

Advertising on the splash screen – Attract attention from the start

When you launch the lidX app, the splash screen appears – an ideal opportunity to motivate your staff or welcome customers with current offers.

📌 How does it work?

The advertisement is displayed for a few seconds when the app starts. Thanks to the rotating display, multiple ads can be displayed consecutively.

📐 Format:1000 × 1000 px

Possible content:

✔ Motivational messages for your team ("Collect 10% more tips today!")

✔ Daily specials or discounts for customers ("Today only: 20% off all drinks!")

✔ Cooperation offers with other companies ("Buy here & save on your next purchase at XY Store!")

This way, a targeted advertising message is conveyed as soon as the app starts.

---

Screensaver – Advertising that catches the eye

If no input is made for a certain period after a transaction, the screensaver automatically starts. This gives you another opportunity to appeal to customers and staff alike.

📌 How does it work?

The ads change at set intervals and remain visible for a few seconds.

📐 Format:

Landscape format: 2000 × 1000 px
Portrait format: 1000 × 2000 px

Possible content:

✔ Exclusive customer offers ("Collect loyalty points now and get rewarded!")

✔ Information about new products or services

✔ Motivation for the sales team ("Friendly smile = more sales!")

Because the screensaver is regularly active, it's ideal for long-term customer engagement and brand presence.

---

Receipt Advertising - Sustainable Customer Communication

A receipt is more than just a payment confirmation – it's a direct means of communication with your customers. Use receipt advertising to place lasting advertising messages.

📌 How does it work?

The advertising is printed at the bottom of the receipt and thus remains in the customer's possession – ideal for vouchers, discount codes, or customer loyalty programs.

📐 Format:

Width: 1000 px (optimized for thermal printers)
Length: Variable, recommended max. 285 mm / 10" (A4 and Letter format compatible)

Possible content:

✔ Coupons or discount codes ("10% off your next purchase – scan the QR code!")

✔ References to customer loyalty programs ("Register now and collect bonus points!")

✔ Cross-selling & partner advertising ("Show this receipt at store XY and receive a gift!")

Since many customers keep or digitize their receipts, the advertising message often remains visible for a long time.

---

QR code and link advertising – digital & interactive

Many customers choose a digital receipt, which they access via our lidX website. This offers completely new possibilities for targeted online advertising.

📌 How does it work?

After the transaction, the customer receives a link or QR code to the digital receipt. Advertisements and additional information can be integrated into the receipt page.

Possible content:

✔ Individual product recommendations based on purchasing behavior
✔ Targeted online advertising & retargeting ("Visit our webshop and receive a 10% discount!")
✔ Dynamic content & videos for interactive customer engagement

Since digital receipts are usually viewed or saved multiple times, this form of advertising offers a particularly sustainable advertising effect.

---

Regional, national & international advertising partnerships

Your advertising options aren't limited to your own business. With our lidX app, you can also participate in regional, national, or international advertising programs and even generate revenue.

📌 How does it work?

You can decide whether to share advertising space on your lidX app with other companies. This way, you benefit from:

✔ Additional revenue through advertising partnerships
✔ Thematically relevant advertising that appeals to your customers
✔ Flexible control over which ads are displayed

For example, a restaurant can offer advertising space to nearby bars or movie theaters – a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Advertising can be targeted based on purchases, topics, or locations—of course, in compliance with data protection regulations and with complete control by the retailer.

---

Your lidX, your decision

Of course, all advertising features are optional. You decide whether you want to display your own advertising exclusively or also allow external advertising.

If you don't want any advertising, your lidX app simply remains ad-free. Your flexibility and control are our top priority.

Utilize the full potential of your lidX app!

With our versatile advertising options, you can:

✔ Target customers – at the point of sale, digitally, or on the receipt
✔ Promote your own business – at no additional cost
✔ Generate additional revenue – through partner advertising
✔ Increase customer loyalty – with customized offers and loyalty programs

The advertising features are flexibly configurable – you retain control over content, target audiences, and frequency at all times.

Let your lidX app be more than just a means of payment – use it as an effective marketing tool!

Always well informed: Your central area for system status, disruptions, and maintenance work

In an increasingly complex digital world, errors and disruptions can unfortunately never be completely ruled out. However, it's a given for us to communicate these events transparently and openly. Transparency is a core component of our corporate philosophy, and we want you to be able to rely on us at all times – even in challenging situations.

In this area, we keep you up to date on the current status of our systems and apps. Here you will find all information about ongoing system operations, planned maintenance work, and resolved disruptions. We do our best to inform you early about possible restrictions so that you can prepare for them as best as possible.

Please note that we not only pay attention to the reliability of our own systems, but also rely on the services of our partners and service providers. Unfortunately, not all service providers and providers handle disruptions as transparently as we do. We can only list disruptions that occur with or through our partners if we have the relevant information and are authorized to publish this data.

The same applies to planned maintenance work: We can only announce this early if our partners provide us with the necessary details in a timely manner and allow us to disseminate this information. Likewise, the responsibility for the implementation and completion of planned maintenance work lies with the respective service providers, which is why we rely on their feedback.

However, we always strive to provide you with all relevant information in a clear and understandable manner. Our goal is to inform you not only about current events, but also about completed and past disruptions and maintenance work.

Thank you for your understanding and trust. Our team is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Numerical Terminal IDs: Independent, Transparent, and Secure

Terminal IDs play a central role in cashless payment transactions, as they uniquely identify payment terminals and enable reliable transaction processing. Until now, the allocation of numerical terminal IDs was heavily regulated and tied to specific network operators. NetManagement now creates an independent, transparent, and flexible solution for POS protocols – independent of banks, acquirers, and network operators.

Simple, clear, and direct: Your terminal ID is automatically configured for fast and secure operation.


🌐 The Importance of POS Protocols and Terminal IDs

In the world of cashless payment transactions, POS protocols are essential for connecting POS systems with payment terminals. They define how these devices communicate with each other and ensure secure and efficient payment processing. Without uniform and functional POS protocols, the smooth exchange of payment information would not be possible.

One of the key elements in the interaction between POS systems and payment terminals is the terminal ID. This unique identifier ensures that each transaction can be clearly assigned to a specific terminal.


📍 What is a numerical terminal ID?

A terminal ID is a unique identifier assigned to each individual payment terminal (e.g., at a retail checkout or self-service machine). It can be compared to the serial number of a smartphone – each device has its own to distinguish it from others. The terminal ID plays a crucial role in payment processing because it:

✔ Serves to identify the terminal in the payment network
✔ Precisely regulates the clear association between the originator (e.g., POS system, vending machine, or card machine) and the executor (terminal, payment module, or method)
✔ Enables the secure processing of payments
✔ Ensures the traceability and transparency of each transaction
✔ Ensures proper settlement between the customer, merchant, payment service provider, and bank


📋 The special feature of numeric terminal IDs (cTerminal IDs)

While many terminal IDs consist of a combination of letters and numbers, there are certain POS protocols that only accept numeric terminal IDs. These include:

👉 ZVT (payment terminal standard)
👉 SPDH (Standard POS Data Host)
👉 CB2 (CashBack Protocol Version 2)
👉 Pay@Table (ZVT integration for restaurants)

Also, some card types, such as:

👉 China UnionPay (CUP)
👉 JCB
👉 girocard
👉 Bancontact

These purely numeric terminal IDs are also referred to as cTerminal IDs. The lowercase "c" stands for "cashier," meaning cash register, and emphasizes that these terminal IDs are specifically intended for use in cash register protocols and for controlling payment processes.


📚 Previous allocation and the role of NetManagement

Until now, numeric terminal IDs in Germany were allocated exclusively by the German Banking Industry Committee (DK) to network operators for the girocard network. This ensured that each terminal in the girocard system had a unique identifier.

Starting in early 2025, NetManagement will manage specific terminal ID ranges that are allocated independently of network operators and the girocard network.

This enables the independent allocation of terminal IDs for POS protocols – independent of banks, acquirers, alternative payment methods (APMs), or network operators.


👉 Why is an independent allocation body necessary?

A centralized allocation of numeric terminal IDs, independent of payment service providers, offers numerous advantages:

✔ Transparency: Merchants, terminal and software providers, and payment service providers receive a clear, standardized assignment of terminal IDs.
✔ Interoperability: A uniform allocation facilitates connection to various POS systems and payment terminals.
✔ Traceability: Each transaction can be clearly assigned to a terminal, reducing errors and misuse.
✔ Independence: Management by NetManagement prevents conflicts of interest between POS and POS software manufacturers, network operators, acquirers, payment service providers, and merchants.


🛡️ Security, Compliance, and Traceability

High security standards are required when using numeric terminal IDs. Centralized allocation by NetManagement enables transparent and traceable documentation of each assigned ID.

✔ Traceability: Each terminal ID is registered and can be traced back to a specific device and merchant if necessary.
✔ Abuse prevention: Centralized management ensures that no duplicate or invalid terminal IDs exist.
✔ Compliance: Terminal IDs are allocated in accordance with regulatory requirements.
✔ Compliance with international standards: The use of numeric terminal IDs enables compliant payment processing on a global level.


👌 Conclusion

With the introduction of independent numeric terminal IDs by NetManagement, a new standard is being created. Merchants, payment service providers, and software providers benefit from a transparent, interoperable, and secure solution that integrates with existing POS protocols.

Whether POS software, payment service providers, terminal (software) manufacturers, or banks – with the new cTerminal IDs from NetManagement, all market participants can remain flexible and future-proof their payment systems.

Simply start, benefit immediately: The cTerminal ID is part of your license and shortens the time until payment is ready.

Free cTerminal ID for every lidX license: A decisive advantage for our customers

Summary
The choice of the right cash register protocol depends on the individual requirements of a company. While ZVT and ep2 are proven, local standards, REST API and NEXO offer modern, cloud-enabled alternatives. Cloud REST API and myPOS enable easy cloud integration, while ISO 20022 is particularly relevant for banks.

The acquirer or SoftPOS's own APIs offer a direct connection to the respective payment platform and are particularly suitable for merchants who want to work closely with a specific payment service provider. Our recommendation

With the right choice of protocol, merchants benefit from stability, interoperability, and clear transaction allocation.

💡 Our recommendation

If you are looking for maximum future security and flexibility, you should opt for an API-based or cloud-enabled solution.

If you need a proven, stable integration, you can use classic protocols such as ZVT or ep2.

If you already work closely with an acquirer or SoftPOS provider, you can benefit from their proprietary APIs.

Our responsibility according to the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG)

Sustainable and responsible action is not just an obligation for us as lidX, but a matter of course. In all countries in which we operate, we take responsibility - for our own business processes as well as for compliance with human rights and environmental standards in our supply chain.
As our suppliers are predominantly regulated companies such as banks and payment service providers, we are also subject to the high requirements placed on these organizations. This shapes our daily actions and our business relationships.

Responsible and sustainable value creation
With the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), the legislature has created clear framework conditions for sustainable value creation along the entire supply chain. As lidX, we consistently implement these requirements and also expect our partners to act responsibly in the interests of people and the environment.

Our whistleblower system - transparency and security
In order to ensure compliance with the LkSG both in our company and in our supply chain, we have set up a Whistleblower system. This enables possible human rights or environmental risks as well as violations of legal requirements to be reported confidentially.

Reach our Whistleblower system
Our Whistleblower system can be reached at any time via our website under the menu item Whistleblower system. There you will also find further information in our rules of procedure.
📢 Information can be sent anonymously and securely.
🔍 We carefully investigate every report and rely on transparent processes.

Together for a sustainable future
For us, reliable and sustainable cooperation is the basis of long-term partnerships. Together with our suppliers, we help to assume social and ecological responsibility along the entire value chain.

👉 lidX stands for transparency, sustainability and responsibility - today and in the future.

Our contribution to sustainability in the digital world

For us, sustainability means taking responsibility - for the environment, our customers and the digital future. We rely on efficient use of resources, durable hardware and renewable energies to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible.

Focus on energy efficiency
The operation of our transaction services and back office systems requires high computing power - but every watt saved counts. By continuously optimizing our processes, we save thousands of kilowatt hours of electricity every year.

Our claim:
✔ 100% renewable energies for our energy needs
✔ Sustainable decisions with an eye on efficiency and environmental friendliness
✔ Long-term responsibility instead of short-term profits

Durable hardware - less electronic waste
Sustainability begins with the selection of our devices. Our server and office hardware is modular, so that defective components can be easily replaced instead of replacing entire devices. When purchasing, we pay attention to:

✔ Resource-saving components
✔ Sustainable production
✔ High energy efficiency

Android devices: security extends the service life
The greatest consumption of resources is not caused by our own IT, but by the large number of Android devices that our customers use.
Many devices are only replaced because security updates expire. We therefore rely on modern security frameworks that enable the secure operation of older Android devices. In this way, we prevent our software and services from being a reason for the unnecessary purchase of a new device.

Efficiency is what drives us
Whether in developing our software or optimizing our services - we constantly question ourselves in order to become even more efficient, resource-saving and sustainable.

Rely on lidX with a clear conscience
We promote the energy-efficient use of the Internet and rely on sustainable processes. This has several advantages:
✔ Less energy consumption - more environmentally friendly
✔ Resource-saving IT infrastructure
✔ Cost-efficient products for our customers

Transparency is important to us: That's why we publish a list of all the Android devices we have tested, for example, to make it easier for you to make a sustainable purchasing decision.

👉 Rely on lidX - for an efficient, sustainable digital future.

4. Use of cookies

Cookies and tracking mechanisms may be used to provide our online service. Cookies are small text files that can be saved on your device when you visit an online service. Tracking is possible using various technologies. We process information in particular using pixel technology or log file analysis.

4.1 Categories

We differentiate between cookies that are absolutely necessary for the technical functions of the online service and those cookies and tracking mechanisms that are not absolutely necessary for the technical function of the online service.

The online service can generally be used without cookies that do not serve technical purposes.

4.1.1 Technically necessary cookies

We understand technically necessary cookies to be cookies without which the technical provision of the online service cannot be guaranteed. This includes, for example, cookies that save data to ensure the trouble-free playback of video or audio content.

These cookies are deleted after your visit.

4.1.2 Cookies and tracking mechanisms that are not technically necessary

We use marketing cookies and tracking mechanisms. We only use these cookies and tracking mechanisms if you have given us your prior consent. The exception to this is the cookie that stores the current status of your privacy settings (selection cookie). This is set based on legitimate interest.

General

The use of marketing cookies and tracking mechanisms enables us and our partners to show you interest-based offers that are based on an analysis of your usage behavior:

Statistics:

By using statistical tools, we measure, for example, the number of your page views.

Conversion tracking:

Our conversion tracking partners place a cookie on your computer ("conversion cookie") if you have accessed our website via an ad from the relevant partner. These cookies usually expire after 30 days. If you visit certain pages of ours and the cookie has not yet expired, we and the respective conversion tracking partner can recognize that a certain user has clicked on the ad and was thus redirected to our site. This can also happen across devices. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics and to record the total number of users who have clicked on the relevant ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.

Social Plugins:

Some pages of our online offering include content and services from other providers (e.g. Facebook, X, Google Maps), which in turn can use cookies and active components. You can find more information about social plugins in the "Social Plugins" section (see No. 7).

Please note that when using the tools, your data may be transferred to recipients outside the EEA where there is no adequate level of data protection in accordance with the GDPR (e.g. USA). You can find details about this in the following description of the individual marketing tools:

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This tells Google that our website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents an overriding legitimate interest on our part within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

For more information about Google Web Fonts, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

You can find more information on Microsoft's data protection guidelines here: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

7. Social Plugins

We use so-called social plugins from various social networks in our online offering; these are described individually in this section.

When you use the plug-ins, your Internet browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. This informs the respective provider that your Internet browser has accessed the corresponding page of our online offering, even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged into it. Log files (including the IP address) are transmitted directly from your Internet browser to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there. The provider or its server may be located outside the EU or EEA (e.g. in the USA).

The plugins represent independent extensions of the providers of the social networks. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data collected and stored by the providers of the social networks via the plugins.

The purpose and extent of the collection, further processing and use of the data by the social network as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective social network.

If you do not want the providers of the social networks to receive data about this online offer and possibly store or further use it, you should not use the respective plugins.

7.1 Social plugins with 2-click solution

With the so-called 2-click solution, we protect you from your visit to our websites being recorded and evaluated by social network providers as standard. If you access a page on our website that contains such plugins, they are initially deactivated. The plugins are only activated when you click the button provided.

We accept no responsibility for the processing of such personal data by third parties.

10. Security

You also have the right to object to data processing by us at any time if this is based on the legal basis of “legitimate interest”.

11.6 Revocation of consent

If you have given us consent to process your data, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018.
