How to Choose the Right Card Machine for Your Business
Your business is unique, so it’s important to choose the right device to suit your needs. Make sure you consider these five key factors when choosing a card machine to take payments:
Connection type

Business type
Think about where you’ll need to take payments in your premises and beyond. If you’re turning tables then a portable card machine could be for you. Or if you’re a retail business then a countertop card machine might be the best fit.
Card payment types
Offering the right types of payments and flexible options is key to keeping customers happy. Check if your device accepts contactless payments or with chip and PIN.
Transaction fees
