Card machines in Chester: common questions
Can older historic buildings in Chester disrupt card machine connectivity?
Chester's historic architecture, such as timber-framed shops on the Rows or properties near the medieval city walls, can sometimes weaken internal wireless signals. The Teya Pro card machine features dual Wi-Fi and automatic 4G roaming fallback, maintaining a reliable connection even when indoor Wi-Fi drops.
How quickly do card payments reach our account after service?
Teya settles card takings the next working day as standard, and qualifying businesses can choose everyday or Instant Settlement options, with conditions and in some cases an extra charge. This provides immediate access to daily trading funds, which is particularly beneficial for restaurants, cafés, and seasonal shops managing regular stock reorders.
