EkiKart is now PointePay: SpacePointe unifies its merchant platform under one payments brand
Six years after launching EkiKart, SpacePointe renames its point of sale and payments platform PointePay, adds PointePay Capital, and sets a single brand for merchants in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
DAYTON, Ohio, October 1, 2026. SpacePointe Inc, the payments technology company behind the EkiKart point of sale platform, today announced that EkiKart has become PointePay. The new name brings the company’s point of sale, integrated payments, back office and merchant capital products together under one brand, sold directly by SpacePointe and delivered through white-label partners in 21 countries.
EkiKart launched on October 1, 2020 as a retail point of sale for independent grocers, convenience stores and bodegas. Since then the platform has grown into integrated payment processing, inventory and employee management, online ordering, gift cards and loyalty, and now serves more than 10,000 merchants directly and through partners. The name PointePay reflects what the platform has become: a payments company first, with the point of sale built around it.
For merchants, nothing changes on the counter. Hardware, merchant accounts, pricing and support remain the same; the app and back office update to the PointePay name automatically, and ekikart.com redirects to pointepay.com. PointePay Capital, a merchant cash advance based on processing history, becomes available to qualifying merchants at launch.
“EkiKart was built for one kind of store. PointePay is built for the whole business: selling, getting paid, running the back office and growing. One name makes that easier to explain to a merchant, a bank or a partner in any of our markets.”
The change also clarifies the relationship between the company and its product. SpacePointe remains the corporate parent, responsible for the platform, its partnerships with processors and gateways, and its white-label programs with banks, ISOs and distributors. PointePay is the merchant-facing brand in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom; in other markets the same platform continues to operate under partner brands.
“The transition is designed to be invisible at the checkout and obvious everywhere else. Merchants keep working; partners get a clearer story and a stronger brand to sell.”
Merchants with questions about the change can visit pointepay.com, where a transition page explains what changes and what does not. Partners can contact their SpacePointe account team or partnerships@spacepointe.com.
