Credit Card Machine Compatibility

Credit card machine compatibility really depends on your current business setup.

Depending on your location and layout, we offer a solution for all needs and spaces. Generally speaking, a credit card machine will need at least 2 wired connections to function.

You will need access to a standard analog telephone line, and access to a power source. It’s a common practice to see a credit card machine unable to reach a phone line without the use of long phone lines and splitters.

The problem is, the longer the phone line and the more connections the terminal has between the wall and telelphone port on the credit card machine causes a weaken or static filled line.

If you were to pick up a phone, odds are you wouldn’t hear this, but your terminal sure does.

If you are unable to run a standard telephone line and power supply, we offer credit card machines that can hook up to your internet router, WiFi, or connect wireless.
