Is a countertop card machine the right one for my business?

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.
