Mobile EFTPOS Machines & Mobile POS Systems

Take payments at the counter, at the table or on the go

A mobile EFTPOS machine gives you the freedom to accept card and contactless payments wherever you are trading. POSrite can also connect your payments with a complete mobile POS system, giving you the tools to process sales, manage products and monitor your business from one straightforward setup.

Accept payments wherever business takes you

Customers expect paying to be quick and convenient, whether they are ordering at a restaurant table, shopping at a market or booking a service at their home.

A mobile EFTPOS machine allows you to bring the payment terminal directly to the customer. There is no need to direct them towards a fixed counter or manually record a payment to enter into another system later.
A portable EFTPOS machine may be suitable for:
  • Cafés, restaurants and bars
  • Food trucks and mobile vendors
    Markets, festivals and pop-up shops
  • Events and merchandise stands
  • Salons and beauty professionals
  • Tradespeople and mobile service providers
  • Businesses with outdoor or roaming service areas

What is a mobile EFTPOS machine?

A mobile EFTPOS machine is a portable payment terminal that allows you to accept electronic payments away from a fixed checkout.

Depending on the selected terminal and payment service, customers may be able to tap, insert or swipe their card, or use a compatible mobile wallet. The terminal connects securely through an available network to process the transaction.

For some businesses, a standalone mobile EFTPOS terminal is all that is required. Others benefit from a fully connected mobile POS system that combines payment processing with sales software, product information, reporting and other business tools.
POSrite can help you understand the difference and recommend a practical setup without adding unnecessary complexity.

Mobile EFTPOS or mobile POS?

The terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they refer to different parts of the sales process.
Mobile EFTPOS machine
A mobile EFTPOS terminal is primarily used to process electronic payments. It allows your customer to pay by card or mobile wallet while you are serving them away from a permanent checkout.
Mobile POS system
A mobile POS system manages the wider sale. It may allow you to select products, enter an order, calculate the amount due, process the payment, issue a receipt and send the sale to your business reporting system.

When mobile POS and EFTPOS are integrated, the payment amount can be sent directly from the sales software to the terminal. This reduces double entry and creates a quicker, more accurate payment experience for your staff and customers.

A complete mobile POS system for Australian businesses

A good mobile POS system should do more than make the checkout portable. It should help your team serve customers efficiently and give you greater visibility over what is happening in your business.
Depending on your industry and chosen setup, your mobile POS may help you:
  • Take card, contactless and mobile wallet payments
  • Enter orders from around your venue
  • Access current products or menu items
  • Monitor sales in real time
  • Manage stock and inventory
  • Send orders to the kitchen
  • Provide printed or digital receipts
  • Add users and manage staff access
  • Review reports through a cloud-based back office
  • Connect with other business tools
We’ll recommend the features that are relevant to your operation rather than expecting you to pay for tools you will not use.

Designed for hospitality and table service

For busy restaurants, cafés and bars, asking customers to queue at a counter can interrupt the service experience and create congestion around the checkout.

A mobile POS allows staff to take orders at the table and, with an integrated mobile EFTPOS machine, accept payment there too. This can help reduce unnecessary movement around the venue and make it easier for your team to look after customers during busy periods.

Orders can be entered accurately while staff are speaking with the customer, then sent through to the appropriate preparation area. At the end of the meal, the customer can pay without needing to leave the table.

It is a simple way to create smoother service without introducing complicated technology.

Built for events, markets and pop-ups

Temporary trading environments require systems that are quick to transport, easy to set up and ready to handle busy periods.

POSrite provides mobile POS options for Australian events, markets, merchandise stands, food trucks and pop-up businesses. Your setup can be tailored around the number of sales points you need, how often you trade and whether the equipment is required permanently or for a limited period.
A portable setup can help you:
  • Start selling quickly after arriving on site
  • Keep queues moving during peak times
  • Take payments from different areas
  • Track sales while the event is running
  • Monitor stock across sales points
  • Pack down easily once trading finishes
POSrite also offers flexible equipment options for businesses that only require a system for selected events or seasonal trading.

Mobile payments for service businesses

Not every transaction happens in a shop or hospitality venue. Tradespeople, consultants, beauty professionals and other mobile service providers may need to collect payment while visiting a customer.

A mobile EFTPOS machine can allow customers to pay immediately rather than waiting for an invoice or arranging a bank transfer later.
This provides customers with another convenient payment option and can help your business complete the transaction while the service is still fresh in their minds.

We’ll help you understand which devices and connections are appropriate for the locations in which you typically work.

Choosing the right portable EFTPOS machine

There is no single terminal that is automatically right for every business. The best option depends on how you trade and what you need the equipment to do.

Before recommending a portable EFTPOS machine, we may consider:
  • Whether you trade indoors, outdoors or across multiple locations
  • Whether the terminal will remain within one venue or travel off-site
  • Your expected transaction volume
  • The type of network connection available
  • Whether you need a standalone payment terminal or integrated POS
  • The number of staff and payment points required
  • Whether you want to buy, rent or hire equipment temporarily
This gives you a practical solution tailored to your business rather than a generic terminal that may not suit the way you work.
