Unlimited business with your Clover mobile card machine

If you're serving customers at their tables, making home visits, or running a pop-up shop, you need a payment solution that moves with you. A mobile card machine gives you the freedom to process transactions without needing a fixed till or a power socket.

Customers can tap, insert, or use their phones to pay, just as they would in a shop. No need to send them to the counter - bring the payment to them.

What is a mobile payment machine?

A mobile credit card machine is a portable payment terminal that lets you take card and contactless payments wherever you work. Unlike a countertop machine, which stays in one place, this one connects via WiFi or LTE, so you’re not stuck behind a till.

It handles chip and PIN, contactless, and mobile wallet payments, meaning customers can pay however they prefer. Some mobile card machines also work with mobile phone credit card processing, letting you pair the device with an app on your phone to take payments through a secure connection.

It’s ideal if you’re serving tables, visiting clients, or running a stall - anywhere you need to take payments on the spot without sending people to a fixed checkout.

How mobile card machines work

Paying with a mobile card terminal is fast and straightforward.

The customer places their card on the reader, inserts it into the slot, or slides it through the machine. The device captures the payment information and transmits it using encrypted data. A request is then sent to the bank, which checks the details and confirms whether the payment can go through. The transaction is completed immediately if approved, and a receipt can be printed if required.

For the customer, it’s no different from paying at a traditional till. For businesses, it means handling transactions wherever they’re needed, without being tied to a single location.
