We work with a merchant referral partner to ensure a quick, cost effective service and in many cases save customers money than if they went to their own bank. If you already have an existing merchant account, we can link the countertop card terminal to your existing account allowing you to maintain the existing relationship with your merchant provider. Unlike some card terminal providers, Wireless Terminal Solutions work with ALL major acquirers (Worldpay, First Data, Elavon, Barclays, AIB, HSBC, Lloyds and AMEX) in linking the point of sale card machine to these accounts. Wireless Terminal Solutions’ popular countertop card machines are reliable and accept all major debit and credit cards and also accept contactless cards for even speedier payment. Payments are authorised and authenticated in seconds and you can rest in the knowledge the payments are protected by the industry’s anti-fraud standards for keeping customer card data secure. The countertop card terminals have been designed to meet the needs of both large and smaller independent retailers.

A countertop card machine is a handset that predominately connects via your telephone line (PSTN) or broadband connection.

If a business operates from a fixed location a countertop card machine is the perfect addition to run alongside your day to day running. They are extremely popular for the retail sector where a till or service point may be in a set location.

Probably not. Most of the handsets we supply to an event or exhibition are mobile card machines, purely because of the convenience they bring. If you want to hire or bring a countertop card machine to an exhibition, we always recommend speaking to the operations team who are running the event, to ensure the venue has an infrastructure to support this. Please note the venue are likely to charge you a fee for this service which is why so many opt for a mobile handset as they deliver a cost effective temporary solution.

Yes they are. We supply them from as little as one day rental

A dual splitter can be used to connect two standard phone cable devices into one socket e.g. 1 telephones or 1 card machine into a single wall socket.

If you have a dual splitter then you won’t be able to make phone calls if you are attempting to process a card payment. Easiest way to look at it, if one of these facilities is in use, then you won’t be able to use the other. Many retail environments do use this infrastructure though.

The countertop card machines Wireless Terminal Solutions’ supply, are contactless enabled up to the value of £30. Some of the other card machines available from other suppliers aren’t (older software), so it’s always worth checking.
