Take payments with a Dojo card machine – discover our range of payment devices for every type of business.
Take wireless card payments with a portable card machine – or portable PDQ machine. Connecting to your Wi-Fi network, this card reader is ideal for small businesses, such as restaurants, bars, hair and beauty salons and garages, that need to process card transactions quickly and securely from multiple locations.
From serving tables, to attending clients in salon chairs, or taking payment from motorists at their vehicles – accept payments from any part of your premises with a portable card terminal.
Take payments on the move with a mobile card machine – a wireless, handheld device with Wi-Fi and 4G mobile connectivity. Switch seamlessly from Wi-Fi to 4G to accept payments, wherever – even if your network goes down or in Wi-Fi blackspots.
Mobile card machines are perfect for hospitality and personal service businesses that need to take payments from different locations. A mobile card machine can be the right device for restaurants, cafes and bars, or hair salons and tattoo studios – or even small businesses, like market traders, that take payments on the road.
Increase efficiency and revenue with integrated Pay at Table technology. Cloud-based integration with EPOS systems lets you accept payment at diners’ tables, in beer gardens or on roof terraces – and turn more tables.
Totally wired in, a countertop card machine is a card payment device for tillside transactions. Connected via an ethernet connection, a countertop card machine lets you take rapid card payments using chip and PIN, contactless, Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. Tethered to your till, a countertop card machine is an ideal solution for retailers or small business owners who accept payments exclusively from a single location.
Take payments quickly and efficiently with contactless card machine transactions. No more punching in PINs means speedier transactions, shorter queues at checkout – and happier customers. Plus, with speedy contactless payments, you can serve more customers and increase revenue. So, say goodbye to handling cash and human errors and say hello to hassle-free, end-of-day reconciliation.
Your business is unique, so it’s important to choose the right device to suit your needs. Learn more about the different types of card machines in our in-depth guide. Make sure you consider these five key factors when choosing a card machine to take payments:
Connection type
If you take payments on the move or if your business premises has Wi-Fi blackspots, keep in mind the kind of connectivity you’ll need. Check if your card reader is wired in or connects via Wi-Fi or 4G to make sure your payments are uninterrupted.
Business type
Think about where you’ll need to take payments in your premises – and beyond. If you’re turning tables then a portable card machine could be for you. Or if you’re a retail business then a countertop card machine might be the best fit.
Card payment types
Offering the right types of payments and flexible options is key to keeping customers happy. Check if your device accepts contactless payments or with chip and PIN.
Transaction fees
Make sure you choose a payments solution with no hidden fees. And when you’re selecting a card machine, be sure to check the terminal rental fees and service fees before you commit. Find out more about Dojo payments.
Add-ons
If you’re a hospitality business, then check if your card machine supports integrated payments – this could help increase efficiency on the floor. Check for other ways to pay like remote payments – these payment solutions can give your business added flexibility.
