What Rapyd offers
Rapyd is a global payments company with card machines, merchant services and online payments for UK businesses. Details below are from Rapyd's own site, checked on 18 October 2026.
The terminal
- Rapyd uses the PAX A920 Pro, an Android terminal with a built-in receipt printer.
- It takes chip and PIN, swipe and contactless, with refunds and voids on the machine.
- It switches from wifi to 4G automatically.
- Accepts Visa, Mastercard and Amex.
- Tap to Pay lets a supported iPhone or Android phone take payments too.
Short-term hire
Rapyd hires terminals from 3 days to 3 months, with no long-term commitment. It's aimed at festivals, markets, exhibitions, auctions and businesses with a busy season. If you only need card payments for part of the year, this is worth a look. Read more in rent or buy.
Online payments
Rapyd also offers payment links, a hosted checkout and a virtual terminal, so in-store and online can sit together.
Who Rapyd suits
Restaurants and hospitality wanting a printer at the table, retail, appointment businesses taking deposits, and anyone needing machines short term.
