What are Card Terminals?
A card terminal, also commonly referred to as a card reader or payment terminal, is an electronic device used by businesses to accept payments from customers via credit or debit cards. These terminals are essential components of the payment infrastructure in various industries, including retail, hospitality, healthcare, and e-commerce.
Payment terminals function by securely communicating with the customer’s card issuer to authorise and process transactions. They are equipped with features such as card readers, PIN pads, and displays to facilitate the payment process. Depending on the terminal and the capabilities of the card, transactions may be processed using methods such as inserting the card into a chip reader, swiping the magnetic stripe, or tapping/contactless payments using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.
Card terminals play a crucial role in enabling businesses to offer convenient and secure payment options to their customers. With the rise of cashless transactions and digital payments, these devices have become essential tools for merchants looking to streamline their operations and enhance the overall customer experience.
