Countertop card machines

One of the main challenges faced by small business owners is the diligence of new customers and their vigilance when it comes to purchasing. Because of this, your business should be open to accepting all methods of payment to increase sales and customer loyalty.

One of the biggest advantages of digital payments is that they can’t be stolen as easily as cash. While it is still possible to fall victim to cybercrime, most card machines are equipped with encryption technologies that prevent fraud. Additionally, you will avoid fraudulent payments (including bad cheques and counterfeit banknotes), as well as avoid having to travel from your store location to the bank with large amounts of cash.

We require all companies we work with to be PCI compliant. Security standards for the Payment Card Industry are in place to reduce the cost of card schemes for your customers.

A high-quality payment machine provided by us can help you reduce processing costs whilst speeding up payments and boosting your profits – positioning you in an advantageous position if something unexpected hits your business finances. Moreover, the fact that you’ll be able to accept more payment types will equate to a higher sale rate.

As the number of people purchasing using debit and credit cards increases, the likelihood of them carrying cash decreases. Businesses limiting their payment methods can damage their revenue if they are not accommodating to customers wanting to pay via card.

Naturally, payments being sent to your business accounts is a high priority for all businesses. Our Faster Payments service makes it so you receive funds as quickly as the next working day. By taking advantage of this service, you’ll start to see your cash flow increase.

You’ll begin to notice a difference in productivity and sales as our powerful terminals are incorporated into your checkout system. Make long queues a thing of the past by implementing a range of card machines that get the job done quickly. Not only will the transactional process be sped up, but our card solutions also eliminate the need to waste time counting cash or giving change back to customers.

Countertop card payment machines are pretty standard for brick-and-mortar businesses. These fixed card readers connect directly with your POS system, using an Ethernet cable or phone. They will have a designated area (typically the counter, as you’d expect) and are the most common type of PDQ machine.

Once you place your order, you’ll be provided with:

-       Countertop card machine

-       Power cord

-       1x till roll

-       1x Ethernet cable to connect to your POS

-       Set-up guide with easy instructions

-       Decals to show customers which card types are accepted

-       Phone line connector

We’ll begin processing your card machine as soon as you enquire. Once your application is approved, you can expect your card machine to arrive within five days.

In most cases, customers contacting us in a pinch should they have a card machine down can be set up and ready with their new card readers the very same week.
