Swipe terminals are the most common processing solution for retail businesses; however, POS – or point of sale – systems can also be used. Swipe terminals are used primarily in card present transactions. Card present means that at least 80% of your business is done face-to-face so you can swipe or slide your customer's payment card through a terminal. Card swiping is the least expensive of the processing solutions for retail merchants.
