All You Need To Know About Mobile Card Reader

Mobile Card Reader


What is a Mobile Card Reader?

Card payments have advanced in leaps and bounds in recent years, so the days of simply being able to accept plastic payments from one location are over. So, if you're a mobile food vendor, a mobile beautician or hairdresser, a cab driver, or a craftsman, a mobile reader can be exactly up your alley. You may accept payment from your customers from anywhere in the world using a mobile card machine. Do you want to know more? Then read on for our comprehensive guide on all you need to know.


How does it work?


Mobile card readers are similar to mobile phones in that they use 3G technology to connect to the strongest GPRS signal available in your area via a sim card. They have a long charge that will last you an entire day, so you won't have to worry about it dying on you in an emergency (at least not with our Ingenico card machines, anyway).

Aside from this remarkable piece of mobile technology, they work like any other card reader, and a transaction will look like this:

1. You turn on your machine and enter the transaction amount when your customer is ready         to pay. 

2. The customer inserts their card into the machine and enters their PIN or taps their card to        pay contactless. 

3. The machine's integrated rapid thermal receipt printer creates a receipt for you and your          customer (if they desire one).

What payments will a mobile machine accept?


You can accept all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, American Express, Maestro, and MasterCard, with mobile card machines.

You'll be able to accept contactless payments, as well as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay, on the mobile readers, as we discussed before (sometimes called Google Pay).

 Is it safe?

Yes, in a nutshell. To process payments, mobile readers, like all card machines, use chip and pin technology, which encrypts card information during a transaction to protect cardholders from fraud.

The benefits of a mobile card reader


  • They're both lighter and robust. 
  • They're quite simple to set up and use right away. 
  • They eliminate the need to carry large amounts of currency and the risk that comes with it,       making them a safer option. 
  • They have impressive battery life. 
  • You'll get receipts right away.

A mobile card reader could help your bottom line if you run a firm that brings its services to the consumer rather than the other way around.
