Whether as a child, eagerly waiting to open up presents on Christmas Day, or as an adult, standing in a seemingly endless line of fellow customers waiting to pay a bill. No matter what age, nobody likes waiting &#8211; especially your customers, even more so when they\u2019re waiting to literally give you their money. Whether your business is cash-only or already accepting credit cards \u2013 chances are you could benefit from introducing a wireless credit card terminal to improve the payment experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smallbiztrends.com\/2013\/06\/consumers-love-shopping-hate-checkout.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">According to a study on in-store shopping<\/a>, 70% of consumers list the checkout line as their biggest pain point. Enterprises aiming to delight customers and get repeat business need to proactively improve the in-store payment experience, and using wireless credit card machines is an ideal solution to achieve exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These terminals provide a number of benefits and in this article, we\u2019ll explore how having a wireless credit card machine can help to improve the customer experience and boost sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-why-is-it-so-important-to-improve-the-in-store-payment-experience\" data-level=\"2\">Why is it so important to improve the in-store payment experience?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-do-customers-want-when-they-pay-in-store\" data-level=\"2\">What do customers want when they pay in-store?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-benefits-of-a-wireless-credit-card-payment-machine\" data-level=\"2\">The benefits of a wireless credit card payment machine<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-frequently-asked-question-about-wireless-credit-card-terminal\" data-level=\"2\">Frequently asked question about wireless credit card terminal<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-payments-that-work-for-your-business\" data-level=\"2\">Payments that work for your business<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-best-wireless-credit-card-processing-terminal-for-your-business\" data-level=\"2\">The best wireless credit card processing terminal for your business<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-it-so-important-to-improve-the-in-store-payment-experience\">Why is it so important to improve the in-store payment experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If being the biggest pain point while shopping in-store isn\u2019t reason enough, consider that the moment a customer pays is also the last interaction they have with your business before leaving. Delivering a positive experience before they walk out the door is crucial for gaining repeat business and fostering loyal customers who come back time and time again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving the payment experience can boost customer satisfaction and reduce wait time. In turn, you\u2019ll complete more checkouts, make more sales, and delight customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy customers lead to higher customer lifetime value (CLV), and this is important because, generally, <a href=\"https:\/\/onstrategyhq.com\/resources\/how-to-identify-the-8020-customer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering which credit card terminal is right for your business, check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/upgrade-credit-card-terminal\/\">when you should upgrade your credit card terminal.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-customers-want-when-they-pay-in-store\">What do customers want when they pay in-store?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the size of your business and your target audience, the payment process can look different. But convenience, safety, and technology are all essential to any in-store payment experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speed and convenience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve established that no one wants to wait in long lines to pay.

Your business won\u2019t be restricted to a single location anymore. This has a number of use cases. You can take advantage of trade shows, pop-up shops, community events, and more. Anything from networking to promotional activities can be a chance to make sales. Wireless POS systems let you attract new customers and promote your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speed up the payment experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chainstoreage.com\/survey-long-wait-lines-stores-amid-pandemic-may-cost-retailers-100-billion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">A new survey by Quidini <\/a>reveals long checkout lines can lead to 100 billion dollars in losses per year. If your business struggles in this area, you\u2019re losing revenue. You can easily eliminate this problem by introducing a wireless credit card processing terminal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many enterprises struggle with this problem &#8211; restaurants, retail stores, automotive businesses, medical practices, and more can face the same problem. Servers that need to rush back and forth to take orders, print out a bill, and return credit cards ultimately delay the checkout process. Dealerships can face a backup of customers waiting for their bill after service, and the same applies to medical practices with multiple doctors. Using a wireless POS system will help you conduct business faster.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-1024x536.png\" alt=\"Wireless credit card terminal\" class=\"wp-image-35785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-810x424.png 810w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-1140x597.png 1140w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience-375x195.png 375w, https:\/\/birdeye.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/payment-experience.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Get more customers through your door<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/new-research-reveals-long-lines-and-slow-checkout-damages-shopper-satisfaction-reduces-revenue-300696514.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a study on the impact of a poor payment experience<\/a>, 39% of customers have left a store without making a purchase because of long lines.
