Video - a review from an entrepreneur about using a mobile payment terminal with bank cards:

Discussion (9)

Acquiring from MIRBEZNALA for your money turns out to be the best option. With large sales volumes it comes out for adequate money. I filled out the form, paid and immediately received my terminal. The convenient thing is that you pay only for operations, there is no monthly fee. Consider it good advice;)

A video has appeared online about how, in fact, it’s easy to withdraw money from an unsuspecting store visitor using a POS terminal. While the man is busy with something at the slot machine, the owner of the terminal successfully debits a certain amount from his contactless bank card lying in the back pocket of his jeans.

I wanted to organize the possibility of paying by bank cards for my pet store. I contacted the bank. It turned out that it was tin. They will charge a 2.5% commission on each payment. MIRBEZNALA solves this problem in a more convenient way. You buy a terminal, although it’s not cheap, but if you do the math, I still get it cheaper. Then you arrange acquiring through desired bank With minimum percentage and accept payments. I was also pleased that all payment data is visible in the service interface: date, time, amount.

I, too, can’t go anywhere without a card, so what, everything is correct now in all stores they are accepted, thanks to such terminals, everything is very convenient and fast, you don’t need to look for change in your wallet, and the payment process for the purchase goes faster. For those who haven’t installed it yet, think about it, there will be more buyers!

This is for sure, probably few people work without such terminals, because it is more convenient for the buyer to pay with a card than to look in a wallet the required amount. And it seems to me that even children have cards, mine definitely do, so you can control your purchases, it’s necessary!

The abbreviation POS (short for “Point Of Sale”) literally means “point of sale.” Accordingly, a POS terminal is a device that performs a number of functions for the successful functioning of a retail outlet (for example, accounting and sale of goods). I already have a good, necessary device at all points of sale, but how can I work without it?

A POS terminal is one of the components of a successful business. This is also due to the fact that more and more different cards with cash back are appearing on the market. Therefore, for many people these are pleasant little things in the form of savings.

A POS terminal is a necessary thing for any entrepreneur, regardless of what he does. I have a small chain of stores in the city and the terminals were not installed in them at the same time, due to certain circumstances. Revenue per shift in stores with by bank transfer and without him it was quite different. One day I decided to ask the sellers, the “lagging” store, what was the matter? And then the girls asked me to quickly install a POS terminal for them, because they are losing a lot of customers due to the fact that they have to go look for an ATM... and not all of them come back.

We are a branch of Igolochka in Stavropol, we have wholesale sales. The issue of installing a POS (trade) terminal did not arise until clients began to ask. Cashback on bank cards has made paying for purchased goods popular. For us it's more of a hassle. It takes a lot of time to serve one client. A queue begins to form. The reason is the long response from the terminal. We hope that this problem will be resolved soon.

A bank card is convenient way pay for purchases at retail outlets and on the Internet. The cardholder is not limited in his spending only to cash, but can also purchase goods using a credit card. In this regard, many banks offer trade acquiring services for both individual entrepreneurs and legal entities. There are devices different types: POS terminals, mobile and Internet modules. Today we will look at acquiring Sberbank. How profitable is it, what are the tariffs and conditions, and will it help business development?

Why is acquiring needed?

This method of calculation is beneficial for each participant in the process. Cardholders do not have to look for ATMs and cash out. All purchases are made through a card, which does not limit the buyer. Accordingly, the retail outlet receives more profit, which is due to the greater solvency of the client. The issuing bank reduces the cost of maintaining ATMs and receives additional profit from the commission for acquiring services provided. More details can be found at the link.

Lower cash turnover reduces the risk of errors in cashier calculations. It also eliminates the possibility of receiving counterfeit banknotes, which in turn also leads to increased profits in the long term. A complete transition to acquiring could eliminate the need for collection.

Types of acquiring

This or that type of acquiring will depend on the type of activity of the entrepreneur. One type of equipment may be suitable for each business, but not another. Let's look at what acquiring services are available at Sberbank.

POS terminals

These are devices that read information from a bank card. Such devices work with both magnetic cards and chip cards. Modern equipment equipped with a contactless payment acceptance system. The client just needs to bring the card to the terminal’s reading screen, and the purchase will be made automatically without additional requests. As a rule, this method is limited to transactions up to 1,000 rubles.

Cash terminals can, in turn, be divided into wired and portable. Wired ones are suitable for stationary cash registers. An example would be a grocery store or a clothing store. All those outlets, where the cash registers are located in one specific location.

Wireless will be convenient for the food service industry or for a business that does not carry out its main sales in a specific location. An example would be restaurants or online stores with courier delivery.

Wireless terminals differ among themselves in the speed of Internet connection. More efficient equipment works using a Wi-Fi connection or Ethernet. Devices on GPRS or GSM connections operate more slowly.

Sberbank also offers mobile acquiring to individuals and legal entities. This is an application that is downloaded to a mobile phone. This service is suitable for taxi or courier delivery.

Mobile acquiring services are replacing the cash register. To make a payment, the client just needs to hold the card close to mobile phone, where the application is installed. To complete the transaction, you must specify the amount and confirm the action. Individual entrepreneurs can conduct commercial activities without a cash register if they have permission to do so, using only Sberbank’s mobile acquiring.

Internet acquiring

This type of acquiring is suitable for trading companies carrying out commercial activities via the Internet. Activating the service will allow you to accept customer payments by bank cards. Users of Internet acquiring from Sberbank must complete an application located on the bank’s website before completing an agreement. There you need to provide information:

• about the organization, director and chief accountant;
• online store and website with a domain name;
• monthly cash turnover and average receipt;
• organization contact details;
• the nearest Sberbank office to formalize the agreement.

After which the module must be placed on your own website. Sberbank provides instructions on how to connect the service. You can also contact the company’s technical support if you have any questions.

Service cost

The cost of acquiring at Sberbank depends on the chosen tariff. Renting the equipment itself will cost about 1,500-2,000 rubles per month, depending on the type of device. In addition, the bank will charge a commission of 1 to 4% for each transaction. The bank takes a commission from the point of sale, while card users do not need to pay anything extra.

The rate directly depends on the amount of cash turnover for the month. The more transactions are performed, the lower the bank commission will be, accordingly. Therefore, in acquiring Sberbank, the cost will be lower for larger legal entities, although the conditions are discussed individually.

Sberbank provides technical support free of charge. The cost of the equipment also includes connecting the devices and providing a half-hour lecture on Sberbank’s merchant acquiring, which describes in detail how to use the equipment.

If the terminal breaks down, the bank carries out repairs or replaces the software using its own technical support. To use acquiring services at Sberbank, you will need to open a settlement account. Its price varies from 0 to 2,000 rubles per month, based on tariffs and terms of service.

After that, invite bank specialists and connect acquiring. Bank employees will install the models and provide instructions to sellers and interested parties on how to use the terminals. In the future, you can contact us by phone with any questions. hotline in support for clients who have issued acquiring.

How are calculations made?

In the morning, the cashier opens the cash register, then we put the terminal into operation and accepts payments from customers of the outlet by bank transfer. The device reads information from the card via a magnetic stripe or requests a PIN code. The cashier has the right to ask the client for a passport in order to identify the card owner.

Cash register devices with acquiring - relatively the new kind trade and cash register equipment used for making payments in cash and non-cash methods. A cash register with the option to accept bank cards should be used in retail outlets with high customer traffic. The buyer must be able to make payment by any means, otherwise, if there is no cash, he will not make the purchase at all.

Why buy online cash registers with acquiring

A terminal that accepts bank cards is more expensive than other equipment. But the cost of purchasing a cash register of this type pays off quickly.

There is an increase in the popularity of payment cards. If your store does not have a terminal for card payments, or the cash register does not support the function of accepting non-cash payments, then you may lose at least 15% of your customers.

Acquiring allows you to make impulse purchases. If the client does not have enough money to purchase a product or order a service, and your cash register does not accept cards, then he will simply refuse the purchase. The presence of an ATM in the cash register area will not save the situation: withdrawing money from a bank card is not always profitable for customers, since some banks charge a commission when issuing cash.

Using acquiring allows you to speed up the cashier's work: there is no need to count change or check the authenticity of banknotes accepted for payment. Customers with cards are served much faster.

Non-cash payments with bank cards allow you to reduce the cost of cash collection. There is no need to waste time counting banknotes, checking their authenticity and carrying out other operations.

Choosing a cash register with a built-in card terminal

There is a wide selection of devices available that vary in size, functionality, speed and operating method. For supermarkets, gas stations, fast food establishments and high-traffic stores should choose payment devices with an ergonomic keyboard.
