IP / Broadband - Canada Credit Card Machines

IP Credit Card Machine

IP / Broadband Credit Card Machines are quickly becoming the new dominate front runner for mostly widely used (POS) Point of sale Terminals. They connect to any high speed internet connection and can process transactions as quickly as 3-5 seconds. With a router you can run multiple credit card machines off all one internet connection, as opposed to the old dial-up units you had to get a separate dedicated phone line for each POS machine. For business with multiple check out stations this one feature could save them hundreds of dollars every year in phone expenses.

The other two benefits to merchants with an IP credit card machines is:

SPEED
DOESN'T TIE UP PHONE LINE

As in any business sometimes time means money, and the speed in which you can process customers transactions determines a daily sales amount can be 5-20% more, with a customers being happier. We all can agree, that is sucks to sit in line waiting for someones debit or credit card transaction to clear. There are some old school machines still operational out there that feel like it takes an hour to process. When you use an IP terminal transactions are FAST - Walmart fast or liquor store fast! Two companies who understand the importance to move customers through the check line as quickly as possible.

In the past before IP units most merchants ran their Point of sale terminals off their existing phone line, which meant they could not be speaking on the phone at the same time as doing a transaction or even worse they had to go in and clear any voice messages before running a transaction because it required a clear dial tone line to work correctly. Now with the IP or broadband connection this is not an issue. Business owners need not be concerned about running transactions while speaking on the phone or surfing on the internet.

Spending the additional $10-15 a month for a IP credit card machine sometimes pays for itself 10 fold.
