Bought this for my daughter who has a nail business and she loves it. Compact, mobile, and adds a professional look to her studio. Everything she does payment wise is all in one location and managed through one device. Very easy to setup and customize.

My wife runs a small business, and this is a must have. A lot of folks don’t like having to hand their card to you, they prefer to touch and go, and with this device that becomes a simple process.
