The most common type of payment device is a countertop style credit card terminal. These devices need electrical power and access to either a standard phone line or an ethernet network port / router connected to the Internet.

When you enter a sale, these devices connect to our processing network to get an approval code for the sale, then generate printed receipts for you and the customer.

Smart Phones and Tablets can be used to process sales. The card reader can plug in to the headset jack of the device or use Bluetooth. Your device must have an Internet connection to function. This can be your mobile carrier’s data service or through a WiFi signal.

Simply swipe the customer's card, enter the sale amount, have your customer sign on your screen and process the sale. Your device will connect to our network for an approval and you can then email a receipt to your customer.

A Cellular Wireless Machine looks like a traditional countertop machine, except it is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery and connects via a special cellular 3/4G network. The rest of the process is the same including printed receipts. These are ideal for busy locations that do not have access to electricity, standard phone lines or internet access.

Most modern Tablet POS Systems are “cloud” based which means they always need Internet access in order to function. Most use a standard iPad or Android tablet and have a POS app installed which serves as the visual interface used for ringing up orders. The data is stored in the cloud. Tablet POS Systems typically have the ability to set up products and selectable options to make calculating a sale easy and straight forward.
