Countertop card machines are exactly as their name suggests - card machines that sit on the countertop at the point of sale.
It’s your traditional face-to-face card payment method. The countertop card machine sits on the counter - so it takes up very little space.
You can imagine the types of businesses that use these types of machines. Typically, you’ll find that countertop machines are best adopted from fixed premises - one single location, where all card payments are made.
