I got my self into nfc world recently and i find it really interesting how there's complete lack of (relatively) cheap readers. Unless it's a phone there's no way for a browser to interact with a reader which elliminates most web apps on desktops (the case where merchant has a pc in the store).
to onboard a merchant to allow them to do offline payments (customer is offline) they'd need to buy something like a sunmi terminal. which is not cheap at all.
or you need to buy a phone/tablet with decent nfc reader to support things like bolt cards (NTAG424) which is usually even more costly.
would be really cool for lnpos to add a nfc module. I am considering to implement this even though I don't have much experience with arduino.
