4 Ways to grow with Capitec card machines

Every business faces its own set of challenges, but there are smart ways to improve operations and drive growth.

4 Ways to grow with Capitec card machines

Make tech work for you

As a small or medium business, you can adapt quickly. Upgrading your tech can make a huge difference. And with user-friendly Capitec card machines, the transition is smooth and hassle-free.

Capitec’s Print and Pro card machines are affordable, with low commissions, unlimited free 4G, and 24-hour battery life. They are also designed for ease of use. These devices streamline payments, allowing you to focus on growing your business without the hassle of complex operations.

Maintain a healthy cash flow

Some card machines take days to settle payments. Others offer next-day settlement but charge extra.

With our Pro and Print card machines, you get free next-day settlements. Your sales income will be available the following day, even on weekends and public holidays—no hidden fees. This financial security allows you to plan and manage your cash flow effectively.

Why do fast settlements matter? Knowing exactly when you'll get paid makes managing your finances easier. Faster settlements mean quicker access to cash for stock, bills, or reinvestment.

Cut your monthly fees

Review your budget regularly to keep expenses low. This will protect against inflation and boost your bottom line. Before renewing services, look for more cost-effective options.

Many businesses rent card machines monthly, but buying one outright saves a lot in the long run. Our Pro and Print card machines come with a low one-off cost, no minimum monthly commission, and no hidden fees. From 1 September to 30 November, you can get a Pro for just R499 or a Print for R999.


Stay ahead of competitors


Understand your market position. Research your competitors to spot opportunities for a competitive edge.

What's happening in your business environment? Are there new providers in your area, and how do they stack up against you? Even if you’re the market leader, continually refine your services to stay ahead.

Only accepting cash gives competitors who accept cards an advantage. Businesses that don't take cards—especially for younger, tech-savvy customers—risk losing them to those that do. Our Print and Pro card machines let you accept payments and process them three times faster, keeping your current customers and attracting new ones. This competitive edge can inspire you to continually refine your services and stay ahead.

The bottom line

Running a business is always busy, but it's important to reflect on what's working and what you can change to drive future growth.
