To accept credit card payments in store, businesses can utilize various hardware solutions tailored to their specific environment. The POS Brokers offers several options for in-store transactions:

Countertop Terminals For fixed locations, terminals like the Clover Mini provide a compact footprint that supports EMV chip cards, NFC contactless payments (such as Apple Pay and Google Pay), and integration with business management software like QuickBooks.

High-Volume Solutions For busy settings like full-service restaurants, the Ingenico iCT 220 is a rugged, stationary option. It is PCI-certified and handles high volumes efficiently with support for magstripe, EMV chips, PIN debit, and contactless payments via Ethernet or dial-up connectivity.

Mobile and Hybrid Options Vendors who move around the store or participate in pop-up events can use the Clover Go, a portable Bluetooth reader that syncs with smartphones or tablets to process tap, swipe, and dip transactions.

Implementation Benefits By setting up a merchant account, businesses can benefit from:
