Payment terminals FAQs

A payment terminal is a device that enables your customers to tap, swipe or dip their credit or debit cards to complete a payment transaction. As your customers check out, their card information is securely captured by the terminal and routed to the card payment networks for quick authorization, streamlining every checkout and moving your customers through the line quickly.

Payment terminals use a combination of encryption, tokenization and secure authentication protocols to protect sensitive credit card information during transactions and refunds.

Businesses that operate remotely, offer delivery services or attend trade shows benefit significantly from using wireless card payment terminals. Food trucks, merchants who conduct sidewalk sales and those who attend popup markets will also all benefit from this functionality.

Most modern credit card terminals integrate seamlessly with existing POS systems to streamline transactions. Talk to us about our POS integrations.

Most modern payment terminals support contactless and NFC payments, allowing customers to pay conveniently and quickly.

A card reader is a device that — just as it sounds — reads a customer’s credit or debit card information for payment acceptance. A payment terminal is more than just a credit card machine, and rather a comprehensive device that includes a card reader, but also additional features. Those features could include a touchscreen display or keypad and receipt printer.

When it comes to payment processing, important considerations include transaction speed, security features, connectivity options and compatibility with your existing payment infrastructure.

  • Ease of use. Taking payments needs to be easy and straightforward for you, your staff and your customers.
  • Where you conduct business. If you accept in-person payments in a brick-and-mortar business, you can opt for one of our standalone devices or ask about our devices that can integrate with your existing point of sale. If you accept payments in the field, ask about our wireless terminals that allow you to accept payments wherever your business takes you.
  • Expansion goals. Are you adding more locations or more devices to your store? Many of our devices utilize the same operating system (Android®) and display screens, which not only simplifies staff training, but also enables easier and faster device upgrades as you grow your business. You also want to be sure you’re working with a payment processor that offers ongoing support as you scale.
  • Future-forward solutions. Today’s customers want options — and those options are only getting more diverse. Our devices support all leading payments types — gift cards, credit cards, debit cards and digital wallets like Apple Pay®, creating a positive and seamless customer experience.
  • POS system integrations. If you have or are considering a point of sale system, ask about our compatible semi-integrated payment devices. We support many integrations with leading solutions to help take your business to the next level.
