This is how you ensure a smooth payment experience at festivals, markets, and tourist hotspots
Summer is the prime season for entrepreneurs to boost their revenue. Not only at festivals, but also at food truck locations, campgrounds, beach bars, local markets, and tourist events, it’s often buzzing with activity. And where there are many visitors, as an entrepreneur you want one thing above all: a payment process that is fast, mobile, and reliable. Here are 3 handy tips!
1. Make sure you can accept payments anywhere
In summer, you’re often working outdoors at temporary or seasonal locations. These places often lack a stable Wi-Fi network. On top of that, you might not have enough payment terminals to cover all your extra activities. That’s why it’s important to have sufficient terminals on hand — and to ensure they’re suitable for use on the go. Choose a mobile device with long battery life so you're not reliant on a power cable. Opt for a terminal with a 4G connection, so you don’t have to worry about connectivity. At many events, public Wi-Fi networks are often overloaded. With 4G, that won’t be an issue.

You can choose exactly how long you want to rent one or more devices. This makes receiving payments easier and helps reduce costs for your business. Requesting and returning extra payment terminals is quick and easy.
