For businesses that primarily take payments from a fixed till or service point.
- Stays connected at a fixed point
- Suited to shops and fixed counters
Portable
For businesses that need to carry the terminal around their premises, such as restaurants, cafés and hospitality venues.
- Moves freely around the premises
- Well suited to table-side payments
Mobile
For businesses that accept payments while travelling, visiting customers or operating away from a fixed location.
- Works away from your premises
- Suited to trades and events
