Not all payment devices are created equal

When selling point-of-sale (POS) systems to restaurants, retail and salon merchants, one of the key steps to finalizing a deal is ensuring your prospects and clients understand the differences and strengths of all the hardware options in the marketplace. This step has become even more important in today’s market with such a broad selection of tablet-based systems that are now available for over-the-counter transactions.

It can be difficult for any card-present merchant to recognize what is unique, better or even less desirable about one tablet POS system versus another. In fact, to the layman, it can seem as simple as buying a tablet off the open market, installing an app and taking payments. As payments professionals, it is our duty to help our customers select POS devices that have sustainable strengths built in, such as extra security, software compatibility and counter-top ease-of-use.

“There are several important factors a merchant needs to consider when shopping for tablet POS hardware,” said Sean Chung, Assistant Director of Relationship Management. “Not all tablets have the ability to function with a merchant’s preferred POS software, so this is the first key step in an evaluation. From there, qualities like durability, stability, portability between the clerk and the consumer, aesthetics, and printing capabilities should all be important factors in the decision-making process.”
