Card machines

The right machine for how you trade.

Card machines are supplied with your Pay2Pay setup at R0 upfront, R0 delivery and R0 activation. We assess which machine suits your business before anything is ordered.

No one-size-fits-all

We match the machine to your business.

Our current smart terminal is the Pay2Pay N950S — a handheld Android card machine with a touch screen, built-in receipt printer and both contactless and chip-and-PIN support. It covers counter, table-side and on-the-go trading, and how we set it up for you still depends on how your business takes payment.
