Payment terminals allow you to accept credit cards at your business, a great option if your POS station cannot support internal card processing or you don't use a modern cash register.
Countertop Payment Terminal: This is a stationary payment terminal that is usually placed on a counter or checkout area. It's connected to a point-of-sale (POS) system and accepts various forms of payment, including credit and debit cards, contactless payments, and sometimes even mobile wallet payments. These terminals often come with a keypad for customers to enter their PINs and are commonly used in retail stores, restaurants, and businesses with fixed locations.
Mobile Payment Terminal: A mobile payment terminal is a handheld device that can be carried around by staff to facilitate payments anywhere within a business premises. It connects wirelessly to a POS system, allowing transactions to be completed at the customer's convenience. These terminals are popular among businesses that require flexibility in accepting payments, such as food trucks, pop-up shops, and in-store customer service staff. They typically include integrated receipt papers and some allow you to run point of sale applications from an on-board computer.
