FAQs
Questions about this solution
What type of card machine does my business need?
It depends on where the payment happens. A countertop terminal suits a fixed till point, a portable terminal suits table or chair service within a venue, and a mobile terminal suits businesses that take payment away from a fixed site. If you take payment in more than one way, a combination is often sensible. The Ideal Merchant Service team can talk through which setup fits your day-to-day operation.
