Summer is always a busy time for merchants. Tourists visit Canada in droves, and visitors and locals alike enjoy strolling through shops, visiting outdoor markets, and sipping cool drinks on patios.

One of the best ways to keep your business hopping is to offer your customers a variety of payment options. With hand-held wireless point-of-sale (POS) terminals, customers can use their debit or credit cards virtually anywhere.

Convenient for customers

Wireless terminals are the ultimate in payment convenience for businesses such as restaurants, garden centres and food stands. The terminals are compact and lightweight, making them perfect for taxi drivers, couriers, contractors, car rental outlets, financial planners and other mobile operators. The backlit screen and light-up keypad ensure privacy. The built-in printer means that clients' transactions can be processed on the spot — whether that's at their door or on the patio. Your customers don’t have to wait while you go off to print the receipt.

Convenient for you

Wireless POS terminals are as portable and easy to use as cell phones. And you don’t have to deal with cables and wires. At peak times, you can also use them to set up an extra checkout counter. This means your customers will be served more quickly and efficiently. And improved service often results in a boost in sales.

At all times, you enjoy enhanced security. You can process payments without the risks of carrying cash or suffering losses through NSF cheques.
