How do Credit Card Machine payments work?
Generally speaking, the credit card machine terminal consists of a secure keypad (aka a Pin-pad) for entering a PIN. And a way of capturing data from payment cards. Along with a network connection which enables access to the payment network for authorization. A payment terminal enables a merchant to capture credit and debit card information so it can be sent to the merchant services provider for acceptance. The funds can then be transferred back to the merchant.
Depending on the terminal type, the credit card machine payment allows the client or merchant to swipe, insert, or simply hold a card near the device to grab the correct information. The terminals are linked to point of sale systems which you can read more about here.
With this kind of set-up, the payment amounts and confirmation can be transferred to the merchant’s retail management system. Additionally, all payment terminals provide end to end card data encryption. Click here to learn more.
