What type of credit card machine do I need?

After finding the right merchant service provider you will need to determine the type of machine to process transactions. There are many to choose from.

Most retail store front businesses will need a machine with a printer either integrated or separate printer; this provides the merchant and customer with a receipt of the sale.

At your business are you going to have a land line telephone line? Most machines require a land line telephone line for the machine to dial out and get an authorization; if not there are machines that allow you to use an Ethernet IP connection. The Ethernet connection allows for a faster transaction.

There are also multi-merchant machines; these types of machines can have multiple merchant ID's programmed into them. These machines are ideal for hair salons that rent out their chairs to the stylist and each stylist can have their own merchant account.

Eagle Merchant Services offers all of these types of credit card machines; if you have any questions please give us a call at 800.255.0898.
