Mobile card machine for small business.

[bigboy529]

Hi all
Probably not quite the correct section for this. I'm looking for a card machine solution for a friend of mine who's starting out a small business.
The card machine must be totally mobile for him to except card paiments where ever he sells his goods, so I guess something with its own sim card for a data connection or something which can connect to his phone for data.

Any ideas, someone who has experience with this?

Not sure of the name but the restaurant we went to in the week had what you are speaking of. Pitmasters on Woodbridge island milnerton. Maybe your buddy can call then and enquire. Works off another devices WiFi from what I could see.

What about Snapscan or Zapper?

He's looking at Snapscan as well, but will people with normal credit and debit cards be able to pay him when he has Snapscan? I thought the person paying must also have Snapscan and their card must be connected to their Snapscan app.

+1 for Yoco.I use it and works perfectly.Commission of 3.99% per transaction.Where the card does not use a pin number the client signs on your phone screen.
