Choosing a card machine

Which card machine can I use at a market or food truck?

DOJO Go Max is a portable card machine with Wi-Fi, 4G and a built-in receipt printer. Tap to Pay on iPhone takes contactless payments through the DOJO for business app on supported iPhones, for eligible existing DOJO customers. The right choice depends on how you trade and the connection at your pitch.

A network specification cannot tell you how a device will work at a particular event. Check the actual trading position, the venue’s Wi-Fi rules and how you will keep the device charged.

MARKETS & EVENTS

Before opening

Charge the device and check the connection at the actual pitch. Keep the terminal ready at the point where customers pay.

Illustration only. Confirm the device, connection and software requirements for your business.

A question worth checking

Will the card machine work at my event?

Go Max supports Wi-Fi and 4G. Coverage needs checking where you will trade, including outside the main building or away from the venue’s router.

Ask the organiser about Wi-Fi access and restrictions, and test at your pitch. Plan charging and the steps staff should follow if a connection fails. A mobile connection provides another way to connect; it does not establish that payments work without a network.

Before you decide

Your questions about payments

Discuss your setup ↗
Will a card machine work at an outdoor event?

Go Max supports Wi-Fi and 4G, but coverage depends on site and network. Test at the pitch and agree a fallback.

Can I use one terminal at different venues?

Ask the provider how to register locations. Organisers may set equipment or connectivity requirements.

What if signal is weak?

Follow the backup plan agreed with your provider and event organiser. Offline payments need specific provider support and conditions; a 4G connection alone does not provide that.

How should I prepare for a full day?

Check battery life against planned use and charge beforehand. Go Max lists up to 10 hours; actual use varies.

Can I print receipts at a stall?

Go Max has a built-in receipt printer. Check how to obtain receipt rolls and how your team will retain the payment records for each event.

Can a terminal connect to event POS?

DOJO lists EPOS integrations. Confirm POS, version, connection and required functions with both providers.

Do I need a fixed terminal?

Portable equipment may suit a point without a permanent counter. Compare setup, power, security and connection needs.

What costs should seasonal traders compare?

Ask about processing, device fees, minimums, term and exit costs for busy and quiet periods.
