We can help you decide – our local card payments specialist will come and meet you at your business, and they can take you through the different options available.
Countertop card machines are perfect if you service customers from a fixed point of sale in your premises, such as a till.
If you want to serve people around your premises, such as at a table, a portable card machine may be more suitable.
And if you want to be able to take payments when travelling to see your customers, a mobile card machine may be best.
