Card MachinesThe standard way to take cards in person is with a chip and PIN card machine (also known as a card terminal). These are the hand-held devices used in restaurants and shops with a slot for your card. How Can I Get a Card Machine?To start taking payments via a card machine, you'll need a special account and the card reader itself (which you can rent or buy). You'll typically get both from the same supplier. Types of Card MachineWhen it comes to choosing a card machine, you have a few options: 1. Countertop Card MachineA simple countertop card machine is perfect if you just want a cheap credit card terminal that can stay in one location. You'll just need a power point and landline. 2. Portable Card MachineA portable card machine is great if you need to accept card payments in different places within your premises. Each machine comes with a charging base. It's a popular choice for restaurants who need to accept card payments at their customers' tables. 3. Mobile Card MachineIf you need to take card payments on the move, consider a mobile card machine. A mobile card machine has a link to the mobile phone network which lets you take payments anywhere in the UK without needing a landline. Some providers refer to this as a GSM/GPRS portable card machine.
