Find a card machine and payment setup that fits your business
The right card machine or EPOS setup depends on more than the headline
transaction rate. How and where you take payments, your card turnover,
current provider and integration requirements can all affect which
providers may be suitable.
If you’re still comparing terminal types or deciding what your business
needs, visit our
card machines and EPOS advice hub
for guidance on countertop, portable and mobile terminals, EPOS systems,
costs, integrations and choosing the right setup.
01
How you take payments
Countertop, portable, mobile and integrated payment setups suit
different trading environments and customer journeys.
02
Card turnover & transaction size
Your monthly card sales and typical transaction value can influence
pricing and which merchant account providers are worth considering.
03
EPOS & software integration
If your terminals need to work with EPOS, booking software or another
business system, compatibility can be just as important as price.
04
Current provider
If you're switching, we can take account of your current provider,
service issues, costs and reasons for looking at alternatives.
