Your Paymentsave card machine supports a range of payment methods to cater to diverse customer preferences and enhance your business operations. Here’s a concise overview of the payment types you can process:
Chip and PIN Payments
Customers insert their card into the card machine and enter their PIN. This secure method ensures that the transaction is verified with a unique code generated by the card’s chip.
Contactless Payments
Customers can tap their card or mobile device on the card machine. This quick and secure method doesn’t require PIN entry for transactions under a certain amount.
Magstripe Payments
Swiping the magnetic stripe on the back of a card is an older but still commonly used method. While less secure than chip and PIN, it remains a valid option.
Mobile Wallet Payments
Payments can be made using digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay. Customers use their smartphones to complete transactions via NFC or QR code.
Gift Cards and Prepaid Cards
Accepting gift cards or prepaid cards allows customers to use funds stored on these cards for purchases. This includes physical or digital cards.
Online and Remote Payments
By integrating with online payment gateways or using virtual terminals, you can accept payments via phone or online. Customers provide their card details securely, and the payment is processed remotely.
