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 machine providers include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/card-readers\/square\">Square <\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/card-readers\/paymentsense\">Paymentsense<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/card-readers\/sumup\">SumUp<\/a>.<\/p><h3>Top 10 best portable card machines<\/h3><ol><li>SumUp Solo Lite<\/li><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><\/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\u20133 working days. If you get a card reader from a provider that also offers business bank accounts, such as SumUp or Tide, you could get the money earlier.<\/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 \u00a319 and \u00a3179, while monthly rental fees might be around \u00a325\u2013\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.

Instead, you\u2019ll need to compare the different devices to consider what works best for you.<\/p><p>Look at factors such as the overall cost, the features the device offers, connectivity and range and which card payments it accepts. <\/p><h3>How to compare portable card machines<\/h3><p>When comparing portable card machines, it\u2019s worth considering the following:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Costs.<\/strong> Look at whether you\u2019ll pay an upfront fee for the device or a monthly rental cost. Also, consider whether transaction fees are fixed or based on your business size and volume of sales.<\/li><li><strong>Contract length.<\/strong> Will you be tied into a contract, and if so, for how long?<\/li><li><strong>Payment methods.<\/strong> Check whether the card reader can accept chip-and-PIN and contactless payments as well as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay.<\/li><li><strong>Battery life.<\/strong> Check how many transactions the card reader can carry out before it needs to be recharged.<\/li><li><strong>Warranty period.<\/strong> Many devices come with a warranty, but check how long this lasts for.<\/li><li><strong>Settlement period.<\/strong> Check how long it takes for money from a transaction to reach your account. This is typically 1\u20133 working days.<\/li><li><strong>Features.<\/strong> If you need a printer, make sure your card reader has one.
