Top questions, answered by our experts
The fastest and easiest way to set up a credit card terminal is to work with a merchant services provider that can outfit you with all the POS software and hardware you need to begin accepting card payments. You’ll be able to choose from in-person and virtual terminal solutions that best fit your business’s needs.
To accept credit cards, you’ll need a card terminal, POS software, a payment gateway, a payment processor and a merchant account. When you accept a card payment—whether it’s a chip, swipe or contactless transaction—your card terminal does the job of capturing that payment data. A payment gateway seamlessly takes that payment information, encrypts it and safely routes it to the payment processor for authorization. Once the transaction is approved, the processor charges the customer and deposits the funds to your merchant account.
M&T can help you with a turnkey, customized solution. You’ll be able to accept payments anywhere, anytime and with any device.
Yes, a modern POS system will need an internet connection to pass payment information on to the credit card networks for processing.
Your business’s POS system is multifaceted. When you accept a card payment—whether it’s a chip, swipe or contactless transaction—your card reader does the job of capturing that payment data. That data can then be transferred via internet or Bluetooth to a POS app. The next step of getting that data from the app to the payment processor does require an internet connection.
Usually at the end of each business day, a merchant sends a batch of authorized credit card transactions to their payment processor. The processor then collects the money from the credit card issuer. And finally, the funds are deposited into the business’s merchant account.
POS systems include software and hardware components. Pieces of electronic hardware like a card reader, scanner, tablet or computer do the job of capturing payment information and transmitting that information for processing. A software application is the operating system that coordinates all the steps involved.
The right POS software can help your business do more than just accept payments. You can upgrade to a system that can do things like live inventory tracking, employee time management, sales reporting, customer information and, in the case of restaurants, menus.
M&T can assist with the installation and customization of both in-person POS software systems as well as mobile cloud-based systems that allow for remote connectivity. And we can help with the hardware that might be associated with new software, including cash drawers, barcode scanners or mobile POS terminals.
