Card readers, card machines, PDQ machines – they’re all different names for the thing that gets you paid. But it’s not always obvious which type you need. We have 3 types of card readers to choose from. Which one you pick depends on how you’ll be using it.
Countertop card readers: Ideal for retailers, these card readers stay fixed to your till with an Ethernet cable. They’re reliable and speedy, and perfect for payments in one place.
Portable card readers: Need payments around your premises? Don’t be bound by cables; use Wi-Fi portable card readers and collect payments from customers from their table or outdoors in your garden or terrace.
Mobile card readers: Get paid any time, any place. Mobile card readers use mobile connectivity to get you paid where Wi-Fi is hard to find. That means you can now get paid on the road or up and down the country – freedom without wires.

If you’re in the hospitality industry, you’ll want your guests to be able to pay from the comfort of their table when settling the bill. This calls for a portable card reader; it uses Wi-Fi, so it has no cables to tie you down. And you can take contactless and chip and PIN payments around your premises.
If you’re a retailer that only accepts card payments in one place, you’ll need a countertop card reader for fixed till-side payments. They connect to an Ethernet cable and use your broadband or telephone connection for speedy, reliable payments.
With your Paymentsense card reader, you can accept all major credit cards – Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and even the Discover Global Network of cards, including Diners Club.
The only difference between mobile and portable card readers is where you want to take them. Need to get paid outside of your usual HQ? On the road in your taxi or from home to home after giving walls a fresh lick of paint? You can’t rely on Wi-Fi, so you’ll need a 3G/4G connection.
And even if you’re dotting about your pub or restaurant, your Wi-Fi may not stretch to your outdoor seating area. In which case you should switch to your mobile SIM card.
If you only want payments inside your usual business locations, at diner’s tables or the salon chair, then a portable card reader is fit for the job.
The short answer is yes. All of our card readers are built with end-to-end encryption to protect your customers’ card data from fraud. This level of protection is in line with PCI compliance too.
