FAQ
Why combine trade and city?
A card-machine recommendation gets sharper when it factors both the trade's cashflow profile (average ticket, contactless share, peak-day surges) and the local trading context of the area. These combinations pair the two so the pick reflects how a business in that trade actually trades in that location.
Does the city change the recommended card machine?
The core terminal pick is driven by trade and volume, but local community context (high-street density, customer payment habits, peak trading days) can shift the emphasis between no-contract simplicity and settlement speed. Each combination page calls this out.
