Your terminal is the last thing standing between you and getting paid, so it needs to be reliable, fast, and the right fit for your counter, your floor, or your truck. These are the devices I can place — listed as options, not rankings, because every business is unique. We learn how your operation runs in discovery, then match the hardware to it.
Portable, all-in-one devices that run on Wi-Fi or cellular. Take a card wherever your customer is — at the table, in the field, or at a pop-up.
Payroc's cloud-connected smart terminal. Chip, swipe, and tap — including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay — with a built-in receipt printer and cloud reporting you can pull from anywhere.
A sleek, all-in-one Android smart terminal with a 5" touchscreen and built-in printer. Light enough to carry, tough enough for constant daily use. Runs on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or 4G.
A rugged Android handheld built for movement — take payments, check inventory, and pull reports from one device, wherever the customer is standing. Runs on Wi-Fi or 4G.
Reliable, plug-in devices for a set register or checkout lane. Fast, familiar, and built to run all day, every day.
The classic countertop terminal — compact, dependable, and quick to learn. A 3.5" color touchscreen handles chip, tap, and swipe, and it wires straight into your setup.
The countertop sibling of the N950 handheld — the same familiar Android interface, built to sit at a fixed checkout. Stable, reliable, and easy for staff to pick up.
A dual-screen countertop system — an 8" screen facing you and a 5" screen facing the customer. The customer display handles tip prompts, order confirmation, and payment.
When you need more than a terminal — a full retail POS, field-service software, donation tools — or no hardware at all, because you take payments from a browser.
An intelligent point-of-sale built for convenience stores, markets, and bodegas. Handles inventory, age verification, and payments in one system — with AI that helps you track stock and reduce shrink.
Advanced retail management for specialty stores that have outgrown a basic POS — multi-location inventory, automated purchasing and replenishment, complex pricing, customer accounts, and ecommerce sync.
Scheduling, estimates, invoicing, field payments, and QuickBooks in one workflow — built for service businesses that quote, do the job, and collect on site or by invoice.
Branded giving campaigns, recurring donations, donor accounts, and fundraising analytics — for nonprofits and churches that need giving to be as easy as paying.
No device required. Key in payments from any computer or tablet — phone orders, email invoices, and recurring billing. Also a handy backup when your main terminal is down.
The no-counter checkout: shareable payment links you can text or email, online invoices with pay-now buttons, ACH bank payments, and recurring billing with stored customers — all reported in one place.
The right terminal depends on how you take payments, your counter space, and your workflow — not on whatever a rep is pushing this month. Tell me how your business runs and I'll recommend the device that actually fits. If what you've got already works, I'll tell you that too. Start the conversation →
The exact device, accessories, software plan, gateway, and pricing program are selected during discovery and remain subject to merchant approval and current program terms.
Every Clover device runs the same software; the choice is about form factor — screens, printer, and where the payment moment happens in your operation. These are options, not a ranking. Discovery first, then the station that matches how you actually work.
The full-counter setup: a 14" screen facing staff and an 8" screen facing the customer, with a built-in receipt printer. Payment — chip, swipe, tap — happens on the customer screen.
A 14" staff-facing station with a built-in printer — the full-size register without a customer display.
An 8" all-in-one that fits a tight counter — full register software, built-in printer, and payment acceptance in one small footprint.
A handheld with a roughly 6" screen, built-in printer, and barcode scanner. Payment happens wherever you carry it — tableside, curbside, in the truck, at the chair, in the driveway.
The smallest Clover checkout — a 5" terminal that takes payments and runs the same Clover software, without the station footprint.
A 24" self-order screen with an 8" payment terminal. Customers browse, order, and pay without staff at the register.
True pocket mobility: Go pairs a card reader with the phone you already carry; Flex Pocket is a slim standalone reader for payments on the move.
Round out a station as the operation needs it: cash drawer, barcode scanner, kitchen printer, kitchen display, and scale — added when the workflow calls for them, not by default.
Anywhere in this industry, hardware that shows up "free" is paid for somewhere — usually in the processing rate or a multi-year agreement behind it. When hardware placement is part of an offer we bring you, we'll show you exactly what pays for it and what you're committing to before you sign. No surprises on the statement later.
Equal option families alongside the Clover lineup, Payroc terminals, and Bodega AI — no ranking among them. Each comes with its own processing relationship, and the honest limit stays on the card so you know what you're committing to before you pick a screen. Discovery comes first; the device follows.
The full Square hardware line: Register (dual-screen station), Terminal (all-in-one with printer), Handheld, Stand (turns an iPad into a register), Reader, Kiosk, and Tap to Pay on the phone you already carry.
The Genius family from Global Payments: full POS stations, countertop terminals, and handhelds for counter service, tableside, and line-busting.
Shift4's Dine restaurant platform: stations, handhelds, kitchen displays, and online ordering built for full-service and fast-casual operations.
Takes about five minutes to tell me the basics. I'll follow up with a recommendation on the program and the hardware that fits.
