Card machines for retail and convenience shops

Lots of transactions, a busy counter and margins that matter. A card machine that's fast at the till and keeps more of every sale in your pocket.

What shops need

Built for a busy till

Shops take a high number of payments, many of them small. That makes the per-transaction fee as important as the rate.

Linked to your till

The total appears on the terminal automatically, so there's no typing amounts twice and fewer mistakes.

Fees that suit high volumes

With hundreds of payments a day, a fraction of a penny per transaction adds up. We look at every fee when we quote.

Next-day settlement

Today's takings in your bank the next working day, to keep stock moving.

Which terminal?

The right card machine for shops

Our pick PAX A35 countertop card terminal

PAX A35: for the till

FAQ

Card machine questions from shops

Straight answers before you switch.

Talk to our team
What card machine is best for a convenience shop?

A countertop terminal like the PAX A35 linked to your till is quick at the counter and avoids typing totals twice. Add a portable PAX A920 Pro if you need a second till or take payments away from the counter.

Why does the per-transaction fee matter so much for shops?

Shops take lots of small payments. A fixed fee of a few pence on every sale can cost more than the percentage on a small basket, so compare both when you look at quotes.

Will it work with my till or EPOS?

Our terminals work with many UK EPOS and till systems. Tell us which one you use and we'll confirm before you switch.

Can I switch if I'm still in a contract?

Often, yes. Send us your statement and we'll look into it. In some cases, subject to approval, we can help with the exit fee.
