Best for retail stores, restaurants, salons, and offices with a fixed checkout counter. Connect via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Top picks: the Dejavoo P1 (Android, $290), the budget-friendly Dejavoo Z8 ($265), and the dual-screen Verifone T650C.
Wireless & Mobile Credit Card Machines
Best for food trucks, tableside payment, deliveries, farmers markets, and service businesses on the go. Connect via 4G LTE and Wi-Fi with all-day battery. Top picks: the PAX A920 PRO ($445), the Dejavoo P3 ($450), and the Verifone V400M.
Budget & Refurbished Options
Starting a new business? Certified refurbished credit card machines like the refurbished Ingenico Lane 3000 ($345) deliver the same payment acceptance at a lower cost — every unit is tested and verified before shipping.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a credit card machine cost for a small business?
Countertop credit card machines run $235–$425, and wireless Android smart terminals run $365–$525. Unlike rental programs that charge $30–$50/month indefinitely, buying your machine outright typically pays for itself within a year.
What is the best credit card machine for a small business?
For a fixed counter, the Dejavoo P1 or Verifone T650C offer modern Android features at a mid-range price. For mobile use, the PAX A920 PRO is the industry's most popular wireless smart terminal. If you're unsure, call us — we'll match a machine to your processor and use case.
Will these machines work with my payment processor?
Most machines we sell are unlocked and gateway-agnostic. We program and key-inject terminals in-house for most major processors with 24–48 hour turnaround — contact us with your processor details before ordering.
Do I need a merchant account to use a credit card machine?
Yes — a credit card machine is the hardware; you'll also need a merchant account with a payment processor. If you don't have one yet, our team can point you to processor partners that fit your business type.
