It seems like they are very badly made. Why wouldn’t these be standardized by now? Like, a lot of them have the chip reading slot but it is taped over and you must swipe? I also feel like cashiers are constantly complaining about them not cooperating. Why do they operate so poorly?
In: Technology
The units themselves are purchased from the processor by the company. The company can dictate exactly what features or applications the terminals use. That accounts for some of it. As for the chip vs no chip thing in the USA different types of businesses have different deadlines that they have to comply with chips by. You’ll notice that all gas stations use them now, but not all restaurants yet.
