That’s where EFTPOS mobile from EFTPOS Now make all the difference.
What Is a Mobile EFTPOS Machine and How Does It Work?
A mobile EFTPOS machine is a portable card reader that connects to the internet via Wi-Fi or mobile data, allowing you to accept payments on the go. It works just like a fixed terminal but offers the flexibility to take your business anywhere your customers are.
Whether you’re outdoors, travelling between clients, or simply operating from a temporary location, you can process secure, contactless transactions without being tied to a till.
Why Are More NZ Businesses Going Mobile?
Contactless payments are quickly becoming the standard in New Zealand. According to Payments NZ, over 85% of Kiwis now prefer to pay by card or phone. That means businesses that can’t accommodate this expectation risk missing out.
With a mobile EFTPOS terminal, you’re ready to take payments:
- At outdoor markets and community events
- On delivery runs or door-to-door sales
- From remote or temporary retail spaces
You don’t need a fixed internet connection or heavy infrastructure. Just power on, connect, and you’re ready to trade.
Should You Buy or Hire a Mobile EFTPOS Terminal?
Not every business needs to commit to an outright purchase. For short-term projects, events, or seasonal setups, hiring might be the smarter move.
At EFTPOS Now, we offer both options:
- Buy: Ideal for long-term use or if mobile sales are a core part of your business
- Hire: Perfect for weekend events, short-term pop-ups, or trialling a new venture
Our hire service is simple and transparent. Each device comes pre-configured, ready to use, and includes all major card capabilities—Visa, Mastercard, EFTPOS, PayWave, and mobile wallet options like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
You can rent for a few days, a week, or several months. And with full local support included, you won’t be left on your own if anything goes wrong.
How Easy Is Setup and Support?
We know time is money—so we keep things simple. Our mobile EFTPOS machines are:
- Lightweight and compact
- Ready to use out of the box
- Equipped with long battery life and fast processing speeds
And because EFTPOS Now is New Zealand-based, our support team understands your needs and your customers. Whether you need help setting up, troubleshooting, or upgrading your solution, we’re here with fast, local service—no offshore call centres.
Can Mobile EFTPOS Grow With My Business?
Absolutely. If you start small and later decide to expand, our mobile terminals integrate easily with full POS software systems—so you won’t outgrow your tech.
You can begin with a single mobile terminal and later add inventory tracking, customer loyalty tools, staff management features, and more.
Final Thoughts: Why Mobile EFTPOS Makes Business Sense
Today’s customers expect convenience. If you’re not able to accept fast, secure payments on the spot, you could be turning away sales. Mobile EFTPOS gives you the power to serve customers wherever you meet them—on the street, at events, or at their front door.
With EFTPOS Now, you’ll have access to trusted technology, flexible hire or purchase options, and a dedicated local team that makes getting started easy.
