Some of these have been around for many years, while others are newer with the extra features your business may, or may not need. Hopefully the previous sections on POS terminals have aided you in selecting the right terminal solution for your particular business needs.
Each of the terminals below are supported by Merchant Warehouse. I’ve found that they have some of the best prices on both new and refurbished terminals.

Conclusion
Hopefully this guide has educated you and pointed you in the right direction to both choosing the right merchant account provider, and the right POS swipe terminal solution. As mentioned previously throughout this guide, I highly recommend Merchant Warehouse for all your credit card processing and terminal purchasing needs. They have the best pricing available and house some of the best customer support around. Whom ever you choose for your merchant account, take time to read over all agreements and don’t allow yourself to be pushed into using one particular solution. If the merchant account provider is truly interested in your success, they will be patient with you and provide you with any information needed to help in making a final decision. I wish you great success and happy selling!
