done* Swoop’s service features a selection of providers from whom we receive commission.
A card payment machine, or card payment terminal, is essential for your small business to accept credit or debit card payments.
Many small businesses don't even accept cash anymore, so consumers expect an easy and seamless card payment experience.
This might mean a countertop terminal for your brick and mortar location, or a mobile terminal for businesses on the go; think coffee vans, food trucks, mobile hairdressers and more.
Whatever your business type, if you need to take card payments getting set up is quick, easy, and affordable for any business size.
Costs can vary greatly from provider to provider, so do the maths based on the expected number of transactions.
You'll likely have to pay an upfront cost for the card machine itself, a fee per transaction, as well as a monthly fee.
