payments from customers. Queuing up at a till point to pay by card is no longer a requirement, since portable card machines can easily be taken to customers at the table. <\/p><h3>What is a portable card machine?<\/h3><p>A portable card machine is a lightweight card reader that can easily be carried around by staff. It can be suitable for businesses with multiple points of sale or those that wish to take the machine straight to the customer. <\/p><p>Portable card machines can be convenient for both businesses and customers. After all, if you run a caf\u00e9, customers can pay their bill without needing to leave the table. <\/p><p>Portable devices tend to have a long battery life, so you don\u2019t need to constantly charge them, and they often include a printer, enabling you to easily hand receipts to customers.<\/p><h4>Examples of portable card machines<\/h4><p>Some examples of portable card machines include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/card-readers\/square\">Square Terminal<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/card-readers\/paymentsense\">Paymentsense<\/a> portable card machine, and the Handepay portable card reader.<\/p><h3>Top 10 best portable card machines<\/h3><ol><li>Square Terminal<\/li><li>Paymentsense portable card machine<\/li><li>Handepay portable card machine<\/li><li>Dojo Go<\/li><li>Takepayments A920 card machine<\/li><li>Tyl by NatWest Clover Flex<\/li><li>Barclaycard Payments Smartpay Touch<\/li><li>Ingenico AXIUM DX4000 Portable<\/li><li>Tide Card Reader Plus<\/li><li>Verifone V400m<\/li><\/ol><h3>How do portable card machines work?<\/h3><p>Portable card machines usually use a Wi-Fi connection so you can take payments wherever your customers are. They can typically be used within a 50- to 100-metre range when using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Some devices might also include mobile SIM connectivity, so you can still use your device when Wi-Fi connectivity isn\u2019t available.<\/p><p>Customers can pay using their debit or credit card by inserting their card into the device and entering their PIN or by paying contactlessly. Many card readers also accept payments with Google Pay, Apple Pay and Samsung Pay. Payments are usually transferred into your bank account within 1 to 3 working days.<\/p><p>Portable card machines usually come with a base or dock to charge up your machine when needed. Many also include a printer, so you can print out receipts, and some will link to your mobile phone or laptop to help you keep track of transactions. <\/p><h3>Why use a portable card machine?<\/h3><p>Portable card machines can be ideal if you want your customers to be able to pay where they are rather than paying at a fixed till point. This can be particularly beneficial if you\u2019re a restaurant with outdoor seating, but you might also find it useful if you run a hair salon, florist or guest house, for example.<\/p><p>Using a portable card machine means you don\u2019t need to worry about any wires getting in the way when you take payments and ensures you don\u2019t lose out on sales if your customers don\u2019t carry cash.<\/p><h3>Portable card machine costs<\/h3><p>Exact costs depends on the provider you choose and whether you pay an upfront cost or a monthly rental fee. <\/p><p>Upfront costs can range between \u00a379 to \u00a3179, while monthly rental fees might be around \u00a325 to \u00a330 plus VAT. So you\u2019ll need to compare carefully. <\/p><p>On top of this, you\u2019ll usually pay transaction fees of around 1.5% to 2%, depending on the device. If you accept Amex payments, the fee is often higher. <\/p><p>If you\u2019ve paid for your card reader upfront, transaction fees are often fixed. But if you\u2019re renting your card reader, transaction fees might depend on your sales volumes, contract length and size of business. <\/p><p>In addition, you might need to pay:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Chargeback costs.<\/strong> A fee might apply if a customer disputes a transaction and the card payment is returned.<\/li><li><strong>Refund costs.<\/strong> Some card readers charge you for refunding a customer for a purchase.<\/li><li><strong>Set-up fees.<\/strong> In some cases, a set-up fee will be charged.<\/li><li><strong>Early exit fee.<\/strong> If you\u2019re tied into a contract and want to leave early, you might be hit with a penalty fee.<\/li><li><strong>Shipping costs.<\/strong> Some providers charge a small fee for sending out the device.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Pros and cons of portable card machines<\/h3><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Easy to carry round with you to take card payments from customers<\/li>\n                                    <li>Immediate and secure transactions<\/li>\n                                    <li>Range of models and features to choose from<\/li>\n                                    <li>Lightweight and convenient<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>You\u2019ll need to pay a range of fees<\/li>\n                                    <li>Delay in receiving funds compared to cash<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<h3>Who are portable card machines best for?<\/h3><p>Portable card machines are a good option for any business that doesn\u2019t want a fixed till point and has an accessible Wi-Fi signal.
