How you check out
Counter, handheld, or phone. Tap, chip, swipe, and keyed sales can each cost a different amount.
In person and on the go
Take payments wherever the work happens.
A counter, an event booth, or a customer’s driveway. We compare terminals and mobile options around how you check out, where your signal is, and what you need in your reports.

Your checkout, not a catalog.
Two shops with the same terminal can pay very different amounts. We start with how you take payment and work outward from there.
Common fits
- Shops and retail counters
- Food trucks, markets, and events
- Trades and on-site service calls
- Salons and studios
Signal and power
Wi-Fi, cellular, or an offline plan. Events and job sites need a plan for spotty coverage.
Tips, tax, and receipts
Printed or texted receipts, tip prompts, and tax handling should match how you already work.
Reports and deposits
Daily totals, sales by person, and when funds reach your bank all vary by provider.
Your current equipment
Whether today’s terminal can work with a new provider depends on the terminal and your agreement. We check before anything changes.
Equipment terms
Buy, lease, or included. We put the full equipment cost and any term next to the rate.
Three setups, side by side.
Most in-person businesses land on one of these. Many use two, such as a counter terminal plus a handheld for events.
| Setup | How it works | Often fits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Countertop terminal | A fixed device at your register. | A shop or counter with steady traffic. | Needs power and a reliable connection. |
| Handheld terminal | A portable device that travels with your staff. | Events, deliveries, and job sites. | Battery life, signal, and a plan for offline moments. |
| Phone card reader | A small reader paired with a phone or tablet. | Light or occasional volume. | Fewer features, and your phone becomes part of checkout. |
General guide, not a quote. Features, fees, and availability depend on the provider and your business.
Terminal options we can compare.
We are not tied to one device or brand. The right terminal is the one that fits your checkout and the provider you choose.

- Whether your current terminal or software can stay
- Setup, training, and who supports the device after go-live
Straight answers, before you commit.
Can I use my current terminal with a new provider?
Possibly. It depends on the terminal model and your current agreement, and some devices are tied to one provider. We check before you switch and tell you if a replacement is needed.
What if my signal is unreliable?
Tell us where you take payments. We look at Wi-Fi, cellular, and offline options for each provider and explain what happens when the connection drops, so you know the limits before you decide.
Can I take payments on my phone?
Often, with a card reader or a tap-to-pay app, depending on the provider. Features, fees, and limits differ, so we compare them against how you actually sell.
Do I have to lease equipment?
No. PayPro does not force an equipment lease. If a provider offers leasing, we show it next to the purchase option so you can compare the total cost.
Most businesses use more than one.
