What does a portable card machine do?

A portable card machine allows you to process credit and debit card payments away from one fixed location. Once a portable card machine is connected to the specified Wi-Fi, it will work anywhere within that Wi-Fi range.

How do I use a portable card machine?

You can use a portable card machine in the same way you would use a stationary, countertop card machine; the main difference is that it’s portable and can be used anywhere within the connected Wi-Fi range or with 4G LTE. Simply insert (chip and PIN) or tap (contactless) a credit or debit card, or device and the payment is processed as normal.
