Payment Solutions for Retail Businesses

A countertop terminal positioned so the customer can reach it comfortably, with a stable connection and a fast contactless read, is the foundation. Small details — cable length, screen angle, receipt handling — affect speed more than most people expect.

If you already run an EPOS system, connecting payments to it removes the need to key amounts twice and reduces mis-keying at the till. It is worth checking what your current system supports before making a change.

Seasonal peaks often justify a second terminal. A portable unit can also serve queue-busting on the shop floor during your busiest weeks.

Many independent retailers now sell online or at markets and events as well. Keeping in-person and online payments joined up makes reconciliation considerably less painful.
