Global Payments

Here are some outstanding features and functionalities offered by Global Payments:

Smart POS-Enabled Terminals

You can choose a smart terminal that works like a mini POS system. You manage stock, track sales, add modifiers, accept gratuities, and run orders – all from the device. If you don’t want to buy a separate till, this makes your setup much more affordable.

Next-Day Settlement

You don’t wait days to see your money. Your payouts land the next working day, which keeps your cash flow steady and predictable. If you run a small café or salon, this gives you breathing room every week.

Contactless, Chip & PIN, and Digital Wallets

You can accept contactless, Chip & PIN, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Everything processes quickly, keeping queues short and customers happy. This also supports modern UK customer behaviour, where contactless is now the norm.

Strong Security & PCI Support

GlobalPayments follows strict UK and international payment security standards. They can support you with PCI compliance to avoid fees or technical headaches. It’s designed to protect both you and your customers from fraud.

Sales Reports & Business Insights

Your terminal can show daily totals, hourly breakdowns, top-selling items, and other helpful insights. These simple reports help you understand what’s working without needing extra software. You get a clearer picture of your business performance in real time.

The Usual Things — Done Smoothly

You get quick setup, clear receipts, stable connectivity, and dependable hardware. Nothing feels overly technical, and you can train your team in minutes. The whole system feels built for busy UK SMEs who don’t have time to fiddle with settings.

Most of the hardware you need comes directly from GlobalPayments UK. You choose between countertop, portable, mobile, or smart terminals, and the company sends you the device configured for your business.

You don’t need your own phone or tablet unless you want to use online payment tools, take payments through tap to pay on mobile, or access more detailed analytics through a dedicated online portal. Their hardware supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or 4G, depending on the model you select.

If you want a modern all-in-one solution, the smart terminal offers a touchscreen interface similar to that of Android devices. You plug it in, connect it to your internet, and you’re ready to take payments within minutes.

GlobalPayments UK integrates with a wide range of business tools, including:

• E-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce)
• Accounting tools (Xero, QuickBooks)
• Online payment gateways
• EPOS systems used in restaurants, cafés, and retail environments

You can also use online invoicing and recurring billing tools if you run a service-based business. Because the ecosystem is flexible, you can add or remove integrations as your business grows.

You’ll find the setup process simple because GlobalPayments walks you through it from the start. Your terminal arrives preconfigured, so you only connect it to Wi-Fi or switch on 4G.
You can take your first payment in minutes without needing tech experience.
The interface is clean, intuitive, and easy for your team to learn. Buttons are clearly labelled, prompts are straightforward, and nothing feels cluttered.
There’s no steep learning curve. If you’ve used any modern card machine before, you’ll feel comfortable right away.
