Card-swiping checkout devices
Payment terminals are electronic devices that process card transactions at points of sale—the machines you tap, swipe, or insert your card into when buying something.
They communicate with banks and payment networks to authorize and complete purchases.
Common types include countertop terminals at registers, handheld wireless units used tableside at restaurants, and integrated systems built into self-checkout kiosks: The payment terminal prompted her to enter her PIN.
