Portable card machines
Take payments to your customers with a portable card machine
If you work in a busy business, you don’t want to be stuck behind your till all day. You want to be out on the shop floor with your customers. And with a portable card machine, you can be.
Using wireless Bluetooth technology, you can take payments at the table, or along the bar, without any wires getting in the way, speeding things up.
Plus, with a 50m range, you can also take payments from outside, whether that's in your garden or allocated pavement area.

They’ll look at how you currently process payments, your turnover and what you want out of a card payment solution.
Based on the information you provide, they'll then be able to help you decide whether a mobile card payment machine is right (if it’s not, we have plenty of other options!).
From this, they can then create a personalised portable card machine pricing package that's right for you.

Taking card payments is really important. It's made things more streamlined, easier and it's simple. So many people don't have cash, so to come to a tiny village and have that accessibility is great.

FAQs
What types of payment can I take?
You’ll be able to accept everything you’d expect, like all the major credit and debit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Maestro and American Express).
You’ll also be able to accept contactless payments, as well as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay (also known as Android Pay).
How do I charge the handset?
The machine comes in two parts. A charging base and separate handset, which will need to be plugged into the mains power.
You can sit the handset in the base when you’re not using it to charge, or charge it overnight – whichever works for you!
How do I know if it's the right machine for my business?
If you want to take payments to your customers, rather than them having to queue up at the till, it's a great option.
Businesses who commonly use them include cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and bars, although they are useful in many other businesses too.
One of our card payment specialists will come and meet you to find out how you want to use a card machine and recommend whether it’s a portable one you need, or a different type.
They’ll be able to create you a personalised pricing package based on your needs.
