The portable payment terminal is revolutionizing the professional world of service. This payment method does not only facilitate the remuneration of nomadic service providers. Its advantages, namely mobility, flexibility and security, make it a payment method very popular with customers. In this article, we review the benefits of using a portable payment terminal.
What is a portable payment terminal?
The portable payment terminal is the technological answer intended for nomadic entrepreneurs. No more cash register cables and the hassle of queuing at a fixed station, this terminal provides an effective solution to mobility. In a more compact format, it brings payment into a new era. Thanks to the wifi network, any place is conducive to business and transactions.
This technology is also deployed in tandem on smartphones with the possibility of pairing the TPE and the mobile phone. Whether you are a taxi driver, craftsman or liberal nurse, you have here an essential tool to facilitate the payment of your customers and make more sales.
Terminal mobility, an asset to boost sales
The tertiary sector is one of the largest job providers. France has many professional bodies dedicated to personal services, many of which work at home. The portable payment terminal stands out as a secure method of remuneration in exchange for the services offered. Customers do not always have cash to pay for services. As for the check, it can hold unpleasant surprises. This is not the case for a transaction with a mobile POS.
The professional secures his collection from which he receives confirmation of credit on his bank account. For their part, the customer is reassured by the security standards identical to those of a fixed terminal. At the end of the paycheck, he will receive a receipt by email or SMS. In an administrative context, a secure invoice is required for the traceability of financial transactions.
Another advantage is that an entrepreneur can acquire several terminals for his employees for a single account. With these collection channels, he can evaluate the individual performance of his employees in the field. Taking into account its analyses, it can decide to strengthen its teams in the regions where its services are most successful.
The portability of a TPE on a smartphone
Among the facilities offered by the use of the portable payment terminal, we note accessibility via smartphone. To transform your mobile phone into an additional payment channel, the procedure is relatively simple. After purchasing a portable TPE, simply download the application available on Android and iOS. When you access the TPE CB platform, the smartphone is perfectly synchronized with the case.
Note that the default cap for such a transaction is limited to €50. The collection protocol is, broadly speaking, similar to a payment method by bank card, namely:
- you enter the exact amount of the note on the phone;
- the customer inserts his card on the mobile terminal, then dials his PIN code. Another solution is contactless payment via the NFC channel;
- the customer receives their receipt by email or SMS.
The low cost of mobile TPE
One of the undeniable advantages of the portable payment terminal in the eyes of the merchant lies in its excellent quality-price ratio. For a small fee, you can purchase it. Provided you have a wifi network available, you can install the hardware yourself. In addition, the management costs linked to its maintenance are cheaper compared to a cash register.
