As a hardware reseller, Smart Mobile POS supplies mobile contactless card readers that connect to leading payment and EPOS apps on iOS and Android. They suit market traders, mobile services, pop-ups, deliveries and any business that needs to take payment on the move, adding a fast, low-fuss checkout wherever your customers are.
How to choose a contactless payment device
- Confirm it pairs with your phone or tablet. Check Bluetooth support and whether the reader works with both iOS and Android, so it fits the hardware your team already uses.
- Make sure it works with your payment app. The reader must be supported by your chosen payment or EPOS software, as this is what actually processes the transaction.
- Check which payment types it accepts. Look for contactless cards plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and other mobile wallets to cover how customers prefer to tap and pay.
- Consider battery life and portability. A long-lasting, pocket-sized reader is better suited to a full day of trading at markets, events or on delivery rounds.
- Think about volume and durability. Higher-throughput settings benefit from faster tap recognition and a robust build that stands up to repeated daily handling.
Frequently asked questions
What is a contactless payment device?
A contactless payment device is a compact card reader that accepts tap-to-pay transactions from contactless cards and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. It typically pairs with a phone or tablet over Bluetooth, turning that device into a portable checkout for taking payment on the move.
How does a mobile contactless card reader work?
A mobile contactless card reader pairs with your phone or tablet over Bluetooth and works alongside a payment app. When a customer taps a card or phone, the reader captures the payment securely and the app processes it through your provider, then confirms the sale and issues a digital receipt.
Do contactless payment devices work with Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. The mobile card readers we supply accept contactless cards along with Apple Pay, Google Pay and other mobile wallets. Customers simply hold their card, phone or watch near the reader to pay, giving you fast, familiar tap-to-pay checkout for the payment methods people use most.
Do I need a phone or tablet to use a contactless card reader?
Most mobile contactless card readers pair with a phone or tablet running your payment app, which handles the sale and receipt. The reader focuses on capturing the tap securely. This keeps the hardware small and affordable while letting you use devices your team already carries every day.
Are mobile contactless card readers compatible with iOS and Android?
The readers we stock are designed to work with leading payment and EPOS apps on both iOS and Android. This means you can use the same hardware across iPhones, iPads and Android phones or tablets, giving your team flexibility whatever devices they already have to hand.
