With cashless payments overtaking cash transactions, it's important to have a reliable card machine. Whether you're running a cafe or market stall, choosing the right one will help to streamline operations and improve your customer experience.
Unlike mobile card readers, countertop credit card machines use a hardwired connection and don't require WiFi or a phone line to work. They're also more cost-effective than a full point-of-sale system.
The V400m from Verifone’s Engage portfolio combines performance, functionality and usability into one efficient high-end solution. It supports loyalty, advertising and other revenue-generating applications to help merchants grow their business. It also features multiple connectivity options to offer maximum portability for businesses on-the-go or in store. Its large color touch display and intuitive user interface make it easy for customers to interact with. It is also ideal for pay-at-the-table, curbside service and kiosks.
This POS machine is designed to support the latest mobile payment technologies, including NFC and contactless payments. It is available to rent through many different merchant services providers. However, it is not the cheapest on the market and it can be difficult to find a machine without a long-term contract. Its reliability and features are worth the investment for most small to medium-sized businesses. Its customer support is available around the clock, including weekends and Bank Holidays. It is also backed by Verifone’s comprehensive set of security features, including multi-factor authentication.

This mobile point of sale can help businesses increase sales by providing customers with a seamless checkout experience. It can also protect against fraud by using tokenization to replace sensitive data with unique tokens, and by following PCI DSS standards.
