Keeping Terminals Clean

Article

The coronavirus affects even credit card transactions.

It seems the coronavirus pandemic is touching every part of our lives and where we accept credit card payments is no exception. If you are accepting in-person payments using a physical terminal, you’re probably looking for ways to keep it especially clean. As with anything electrical, some common sense rules should be applied. Liquids and electronics still don’t mix. Pouring disinfectant directly on the payment terminal is not advised.

Ingenico has offered a helpful guide for their specific system. With any terminal, we recommend checking with the care instructions that came with your terminal and to make sure you understand the warranty.

Thank you for doing your part to keep customers and staff healthy!
