Retail needs a machine that fits your till
Independent shops usually have a till system, a mix of small and large sales and, more and more, an online shop. Your card machine should work with all three.
What matters most
- EPOS integration so the amount comes from your till
- Chip and PIN and phone wallets for higher-value sales
- A printer for receipts and refunds
- Online payments on the same account
- Clear reporting for your accountant
What I usually set up
A countertop machine that works with your till, plus online card payments if you sell on the web.
In most cases your first card machine is free. I set it up at your premises and stay your contact afterwards.
Tell me which till system you use before you switch, and I'll check it works with the new provider.
