For fixed-location card payments, this option offers fast, reliable transactions via wired Ethernet.
A fixed PDQ (Process Data Quickly) machine, also known as a countertop PDQ machine, is a type of card payment terminal that is permanently stationed at a specific location, typically at a sales counter or checkout area in a store.
These machines are designed to stay in one place and are usually connected to a power outlet and a broadband router via an Ethernet cable.
The wired connection ensures a stable and fast transaction process, minimizing the risk of connectivity issues.
Fixed PDQ machines typically support various payment methods, including chip-and-PIN, contactless payments, and magnetic stripe cards.
These machines are built to withstand constant use in busy retail environments.
