Almost every business needs to accept credit
cards to be successful, but figuring out the best approach to do so can be
difficult. Most merchants use one of the following terminals to process credit
cards: Modified mobile phone, modem-based, IP-based, contactless, or computer
We'll take a look at each sort of terminal in turn.
Â
Modem
Based Terminal
A conventional dialup connection is used in
modem-based terminals, which provides stability and fast processing. They have
been used for decades at in-store ports of sale (POS) and are appropriate for
merchants who undertake continuous card transactions but do not have periods of
high volume that demand high-speed processing.
Â
IP Based
Terminal
IP-based terminals, unlike modem-based
terminals, feature Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, which improves
transaction speed. They're swiftly catching up to modem-based terminals in
popularity, especially among retailers who have busy periods.
Restaurants, pubs, and retail stores are
examples of businesses that profit from IP-based terminals' Ethernet
connectivity.Â
Contactless
Terminal
To read contactless credit cards, this merchant card processing terminal has an
inbuilt antenna. When compared to modem-based and IP-based terminals, combining
Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality with contactless card reading gives
higher processing speed.
Contactless credit cards are becoming more
popular as a safe and sanitary means of payment. They can't be swiped by card
skimmers because they aren't given to clerks. They also cut down on germ
transmission.  Â
Modified
Cell Phone Terminal
Cell phones that double as a phone and a
payment terminal are known as modified mobile payment terminals.
They are perfect for merchants who sell at trade exhibitions, public events,
kiosks, or receive money after delivering products or giving services at
businesses or households because they have built-in swiping technology.
Customer receipts can be printed using
modified cell phone terminals and wireless printers.
·       Â
Mobile Terminals
Accept
payments on-the-spot or on-the-go by being where your clients are.
Having
the capacity to accept payments anywhere, at any time, provides you with the
assurance that you will nearly never lose a sale. You may quickly set up
business wherever with internet access, from someone's home to inside your
vehicle, with a Mobile Terminal. The options are limitless.Â
Wireless
Terminal
A regular or contactless card terminal is
employed in the capacity of a modified mobile phone terminal in this merchant
card processing terminal. Wireless terminals differ in that they contain a
built-in printer, typically have more functions, and process data faster.
Â
Computer
Terminal
Computer terminals are personal computers
that have been converted into payment terminals using a point-of-sale system.
They're useful in a variety of scenarios, but they're most commonly connected
with MOTO (mail order/telephone order) processing. Because POS software is
costly, it is frequently utilized as a last resort.

What is a POS System?
§Â
A payment
processor is not the same as a point of sale (POS) system. A POS system is made
up of both hardware and software. A cash register, card reader, display screen,
and receipt printer are examples of possible hardware. While the program's
function is to record transactions and deliver that data, as well as other
information that the software is tracking, to payment processors.
·       Â
POS systems
can be customized to meet the needs of unique businesses. You may have noticed
that certain POS systems are built for retail venues while others are designed
for eateries. Whatever type you choose, make sure it provides the capabilities
you require to better manage payments.
