Card Machines for Veterinary Clinics

Our countertop card machines are ideal for all businesses with one point of sale, like a vets. Our Ingenico card machines are fast, reliable, and easy to use. This card machine will need to be connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable and will need to stay in one place. Our countertop card machines accept all standard transaction types, including cashback, refunds, and, of course, sales. You can also take contactless payments on these card machines, which is now a preferred payment method by many. Working in a vets, contactless transactions also provide an extra layer of sanitation. These payments can be made with either a contactless credit or debit card or a digital wallet, which can be found on smartphones and smartwatches.

Ensuring that your service remains as fast as possible, our countertop card machines accept payment in two seconds. The integrated PCI PED-approved pinpad allows you to hand over the device for secure PIN entry easily. You can also buy a card machine case that can be removed to clean the device.

Card Machines for Mobile Vets

If you're a veterinary business that travels, our UTP Max is the perfect card machine for you. Due to the large farmlands, averaging 64 hectors, many veterinary practices in Yorkshire provide mobile visits to their clients. This means that you can travel to different farms during the day to see to animals that need care. The UTP Max has multiple connection options, including 3G, 4G, GPRS, WiFi, and Bluetooth. The roaming SIM card means that you can take the device out with you, and it will connect to the strongest signal automatically, reducing the risk of slow or failed card payments so you can sell with confidence. The UTP Max has a powerful long-life battery, built to last the busiest of working days. Your clients can pay by chip and PIN, contactless, digital wallet, and QR-code in as little as 1.2 seconds.

The UTP Max has all the power and security of Android, as well as full accessibility features. The device was designed in collaboration with the Royal National Institute for Blind People. The six-inch ergonomic touchscreen uses large, bold characters to help support people with impaired vision. Your veterinary business can also customize the home screen of the UTP Max to show promotions and advertise your business.

Online Payments for Vets

As well as taking payments in-store, it's important that your business can take payments online. From selling treats and treatments online to booking check-up appointments, over 90% of the UK are online buyers, and 57% of us look up businesses online to view prices. Providing an online shopping experience increases your geographical reach and can open your business to new clients.

At UTP, we have two services to help your clients shop your vet business online. This includes a Virtual Terminal and an eCommerce Payment Gateway. Our Virtual Terminal works like a traditional card machine, yet instead of the card machine reading your details, your customer reads or types in their card information. The Virtual Terminal is used when the cardholder is not present in your store. An example of this could be someone booking in for a pet check-up, and you taking the payment over the phone. You can also send payment links using the Virtual Terminal for clients who don't wish to give their details over the phone. Our eCommerce Payment Gateway allows your clients to buy directly from your website. This provides your clients with an easy and convenient way to shop for your products. It eliminates the restrictions caused by opening hours and location. The process is the same as when you buy from any of your favourite shops. Your clients simply type in their card details, and you get a notification once an order has been made.
