Merchant Terminals – Credit Card Processing & EPOS

What it is:

Merchant terminals, including credit card processing machines and EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) systems, allow businesses to accept payments from customers quickly and securely. They can process debit and credit cards in person, online, or over the phone.

Who it is for:

Any business that accepts customer payments – from retail shops, cafés, and restaurants to service providers, e-commerce businesses, and tradespeople.

Advantages of having it:

• Accepts a wide range of payment methods, including contactless and mobile payments.
• Speeds up the checkout process for better customer experience.
• Secure payment processing with fraud protection.
• EPOS systems help track sales, manage stock, and generate reports.
• Can increase sales by offering customers more ways to pay.

Risks if you don’t have it:

• Limited payment options may turn customers away.
• Missed sales from customers who prefer card or contactless payments.
• Slower payment processing, leading to longer queues or delays.
• No automated tracking of sales or inventory.
