Credit Card Terminal
Factors to Consider When Buying a Credit Card Terminal:
- NFC – check out the payment wave of the future. NFC technology features, where you can accept Apple Pay and Android Pay for payments.
- Security and Stability – do I have a computer tablet or other device that will accommodate the future technology? Newer credit card machine work faster, they also protect sensitive card data and have the ability to accept EMV and PIN. Older terminals may not comply with today’s PCI security standards.
Mobile/Wireless Connectivity – credit card terminal should be able to quickly and easily accept credit card payments and work with your payment processor anywhere.
- Connectivity – do you use mobile, Wi-Fi, dial, or (IP) Internet connection? Most current credit card terminals use both technologies, but when connected to dial-up your transactions can be quite slow, unlike IP connection which can speed up your transactions.
- Programmable or Proprietary – if they will not let you program it why NOT?
There are many options when searching for the right credit card terminal for your business but there are also a number of factors to consider before making an investment.

Technology continues to evolve, offering multiple billing and payment methods increases satisfaction by improving customer experience.
Customers will continue to move toward digital life, like embracing different forms of online billing and ways to accept payments.
Creating convenient ways to accept payments and having more options can reduce the time it takes your business to get paid.
Accept debit and credit card payments online; to offer this feature you need to get a merchant account.
Options for accepting payments:
Electronic Check Service (ECS) – convert paper checks to electronic transactions, with NTC’s ECS. Converting paper checks to electronic transactions eliminates many of the risks and costs, adding money to your bottom line.
Mobile Payments – the opportunity to increase revenue through mobile payments is huge. Many consumers find that mobile bill pay makes shopping easier, more convenient and saves time. Converge Mobile Solution lets you accept card payments using smartphone or tablet. The app works with most Apple and Android mobile devices.
Online Payment Gateway – offering customers an online payment form enables them to pay you easily and allows you to accept payments by credit card, debit card or echeck.

Qualified vs Non-Qualified credit card rates
The most common forms of rate structures for credit card rates are:
2-Tiered: Qualified and Non-Qualified
3-Tiered: Qualified, Mid-qualified, or Non-qualified
Each and every transaction you accept is classified into one of the above and is the basis for the credit card rate you see on your statement.
As a general rule, qualified transactions are going to be “standard” cards; without any consumer or corporate rewards associated with them. Accepted in the “standard” method expressed in your merchant processing agreement, this is where Card-Not-Present (CNP) setup comes into play.
Mid and Non-Qualified transactions include:
Rewards cards, keyed-in payments (for swipe accounts), AVS (Address Verification Service) does not match or is not performed, not all required fields are entered, or the payment was entered in a late batch. Ex. the payment was sent to the processor 48 hours or more past the time of the authorization.
