Card Machines for Wellness Business
Wellness covers many businesses here in the UK. Nutrition, fitness, cosmetics and even mental health fit into this sector. The UK is one of the biggest wellness industry markets in Europe, with an estimated value of over £174 billion.
Why should small businesses accept card payments?
Small businesses make up the majority of the wellness sector. For your business to be successful in this generation, you need to accept card payments. This is the most common way to pay in the UK, with 57% of payments being made with card. They provide a fast, secure and convenient way to pay for goods and services.
Countertop Card Machines

Our countertop card machines are often used in brick-and-mortar businesses. These card machines are designed to stay in one place and need Ethernet connection. This connects the countertop card machine to the internet and ensures that you can take payments seamlessly. Your customers can pay by card however suits them, as our card machines accept chip and PIN, contactless and digital wallet payments. Our card machines accept all major credit and debit cards, including Mastercard, Visa and American Express.
Mobile Card Machines

Another device for wellness businesses to use is mobile card machines, such as the UTP Max. This card machine enables your business to take payments on the go by connecting to 3G, 4G GPRS, WiFi and Bluetooth. The UTP Max automatically connects to the strongest signal to ensure you never miss a sale. This mobile card machine also comes with a base as standard. The battery in the UTP Max lasts over eight hours, so you don't have to worry about recharging your card machine during your shift.
Virtual Terminal

Another common way to accept payment is virtually. Instead of going into the business, you can pay over the phone or by a payment link. Customers often prefer this method as it saves them time. Our Virtual Terminal makes accepting payment when the card holder isn't present easy. If your customer makes the payment over the phone, they read out their card details and then you type them into the Virtual Terminal. When sending customers a payment link, they can type in their own details to finalise the payment.
As the wellness industry continues to increase year on year, it's important that your business reflects the payment trends.
