What is a terminal payment machine?
A terminal payment machine is a compact kiosk that processes payment transactions using various modes of payment like cash, card, e-wallet, vouchers, and checks. Payment terminals usually have money acceptors and built-in readers.
The machines intend to simplify payment acceptance and processing. These are integrated with a software application configurable to suit various business needs.
Wireless vs. kiosk-type terminals
A payment terminal may use a wireless pin pad or a kiosk-type machine. For the first type, it can be taken to where the customers are within the premises. That’s why retail environments such as restaurants prefer this type of terminal.
For actual machines, they should be tightly secured in one place. These are usually found in temperamental environments wherein both the machine and the users must be kept safe and secure.
Attended vs. self-service terminals
Payment terminals can be attended or unattended (self-service). In the former, a sales representative assists the customer in activating the payment transaction. The latter does not require the presence of the representative wherein the consumer himself activates and completes the payment.
These terminal payment machines are typically found in retail environments such as supermarkets, banks, convenience stores, gas stations, and establishments where payment for goods and services are expected.
The concept behind payment terminal machines is straightforward. The machines’ functions and features vary depending on the nature of the business and for whatever purpose they may serve.
Self-service payment solutions are the way to go. It leverages people’s time with the broadest coverage of payment acceptations. It’s like doing more with less!
However, to maximize its utilization value, the terminal payment machine must be placed in locations where the consumers need not seek these payment terminals. The most strategic places are areas with high foot traffic.
How does a terminal payment machine work?
A payment terminal works because of its hardware and software that seamlessly integrated to accept payments. A system integrator makes payment processing possible along with the payment method support (acceptor, reader, scanner, etc.). All of these elements make a finished solution.
Focusing on the payment system that these terminals utilize, it is unique to the business using it. Some applications are developed from scratch, while others are built using a software development kit (SDK). SDKs enable the customization of machine processes.
Also called the reverse automated teller machine (ATM), the most critical elements are storage security, data security, and real-time processing.
