Take payments from your till point.
If you need to take payments from behind a till, counter or reception point, a countertop card machine is right up your street.
From convenience stores to retail shops, and everything in between, our Ingenico card machines are a quick and convenient way for your customers to pay.
It plugs directly into your broadband or phone line, and comes with all the latest technology so that you can take secure card payments.
Plus, our countertop card machines come equipped with contactless payments so your customers can tap and go.
At takepayments, we don't believe in one size fits all. We can help you find the best countertop card machine deal that's right for your business.

They can then create a pricing package that’s built around your needs.

Is a countertop card machine the right one for my business?
We can help you decide – our local card payments specialist can come and meet you at your business, or you can do it over the phone, 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.
