A simple 5-step guide to switching card machine provider without any downtime, even mid-week.
Switching providers sounds painful. In reality it takes about a week and zero downtime, if you do it in the right order.
Step 1: Check your contract
Most rental contracts are 18 months. Check yours for an exit date or early termination fee.
Step 2: Apply for your new machine
Apply with us, takes 2 minutes. The machine arrives in 48 hours.
Step 3: Run both in parallel
For a few days, keep your old machine plugged in while the new one is set up. Test a couple of transactions.
Step 4: Switch over
Once you're happy, send back the old machine. We help with the migration.
Step 5: Save money from day one
Lower rate, no rental, next-day payouts.
