Mobile readers are designed for small businesses that serve customers everywhere
Portable and lightweight
Slip it in your pocket, clip it to your device, or toss it in your bag—mobile readers are designed to go wherever your business takes you. No bulky registers, no heavy equipment—just a sleek reader that moves as fast as you do.
Long battery life
Stay powered through the busiest days. With all-day battery life, you can process sales at long events, outdoor markets, or back-to-back appointments without interruptions. Some models even support quick charging, so you’re never out of service for long.
Secure transactions
Every payment is fully encrypted and PCI-compliant, protecting both your business and your customers. Whether a customer taps, swipes, or inserts their card, your mobile reader ensures sensitive data stays secure at every step.
Multiple device compatibility
Whether your team uses iOS, Android, or tablets, mobile readers connect seamlessly via Bluetooth or cord. That means less hassle and more flexibility—use the devices you already trust to run your business.
Offline payments
No Wi-Fi? No problem. Mobile readers can still accept payments in offline mode, storing transactions safely until you’re reconnected. That way, you never lose a sale—even if your connection drops in the middle of a busy shift.

FAQs
What are mobile readers?
A mobile reader is a small device that connects to your smartphone or tablet, allowing you to accept card payments anywhere. It supports chip, swipe, and tap payments, and works seamlessly with your POS or payment app.
What are the benefits of using a mobile reader?
Mobile readers give you the freedom to take payments wherever your customers are—whether that’s at a pop-up shop, food truck, trade show, or in the field.
Mobile readers give businesses flexibility and convenience:
- Accept payments anywhere (markets, events, deliveries, pop-ups)
- Faster checkouts with tap and mobile wallet options
- Inventory integration through your POS system
- Security with PCI-compliant, encrypted transactions
Do I need Wi-Fi or data to use a mobile reader?
No. Mobile readers can process payments without a Wi-Fi or data connection. Transactions are queued and securely processed once you’re back online.
How do I accept payments with my phone?
You can turn your smartphone into a mobile point-of-sale by using a mobile reader or enabling the Tap to Pay on iPhone feature on your payment app.
1. Using a mobile reader:
- Connect the reader to your phone via cord or Bluetooth.
- Accept payments from customers by swipe, chip, or tap.
- Send receipts digitally and track your sales automatically through the app.
