Once you've decided the best PDQ machine for your small business:
In 2021 there are a lot of options for small businesses to choose from. You often hear card machines called card readers, PDQ machines or card terminals – ultimately, these are the same thing; the device that get you paid. The thing that matters is how you use your card machine and how to tailor it to your customers' needs.
This means deciding between a countertop, portable or mobile machine. Countertop machines are great for fixed payments from your till, whereas portable devices allow you to take payments up to 100m away from your machine's base – handy for restaurants and those in hospitality. Mobile card machines take it to the next level; they come with a 3G/4G enabled SIM card so you can take payments on the move.
Yes, with a nifty software called integrated payments. It's a simple way for your card machine and your till to talk to each other using secure, cloud-based software. It saves time, has less chance of mistakes, and makes cashing up at the end of the day a breeze. Need more convincing?
