Portable Card Machines

Easily use Wi-Fi to process your customer’s card transactions
quickly and securely

Portable card machines, also known as portable PDQ machines are becoming increasingly popular for small business owners as they’re agile to their different day-to-day needs and prioritise the customer experience. But what exactly are they, and how do they support the running of a fast-paced business?

Put simply, portable card terminals are entirely wireless card machines that use Wi-Fi to process card transactions quickly and securely. They’re easy to set up with minimum hardware, or clutter – ideal for clean minimal businesses that want payments to match.

Just charge up your battery, connect the machine to your business’ Wi-Fi network (like you would your mobile phone) and enter the unique activation code we send to you. Then you’re ready to start accepting payments – it’s that simple.

And because they use Wi-Fi rather than a traditional telephone or Ethernet connection, they’re completely portable, as the name suggests. That means that they’re free to roam around your restaurant, bar, cafe, or hair salon with you at any time.

No more asking customers to move to the till for payments, which means no more chaotic queues. When customers are ready to pay, grab the Dojo Go and take it straight to them to tap and go.

Which businesses use portable card machines?

As technology has advanced, so have our card machines. Instead of being tied to one place, Wi-Fi-enabled card readers give businesses and their customers the choice – payments without limitations.

As long as you have access to a stable Wi-Fi connection and your lightweight, sleek card machine, you can take payments from:

Diners at tables in your restaurant or cafe
Clients in your hair or beauty salon chair
Punters on your pub terrace
City-slickers sipping barside
Motorists in your MOT garage

But they’re not limited to that; they’re as versatile as your business. Whatever your niche is, they’ll get you paid fast.

Questions on Merchant Services?

Here are some commonly asked questions about merchant services

What payment types can I accept?

At the minimum, your business should be set up to accept traditional magnetic stripe cards, EMV chip cards and eWallets. You should also consider whether you need to accept payments on the go, online or over the phone. Depending on your customer base, you may also want to consider accepting secure check payments.

What type of POS terminal do I need?

There are lots of options in POS terminals. The type of terminal you select depends mainly upon the payment options you want to accept, as well as where and how you need to accept those payments. If you’ll only be accepting payments from a physical location, a countertop model may be the best option. If you accept payments offsite, such as at trade shows, festivals or farmers’ markets, a mobile POS system may be the way to go. For phone payments, you may want to discuss a virtual terminal.
