Entrepreneur Moms: Do you use a credit card machine?

[FirstLiner]

Hi, entrepreneurs moms! I've given choices by a friend nearby who manages a small convenience store. According to her, I could decide to get the right credit card machine assistance from these companies and these are PayPal powered by Braintree, Tsys ( merchant solutions), Square , Stripe and SecureNet. But, I was thinking that I need to ask more about credit card machine first before choosing a payment processing provider services. What are the important things we should be aware of in getting a credit card machine?

I don't accept card payments from my clients however I invoice using an app called invoice2go on my iphone, I think I pay £22 per year. It flashed up last week that it is now offering credit/debit card payments through it, not sure how much it charges but might be worth looking into and weighing up the costs of both options.

My friend said that I should get one that can accept Apple Pay and I saw in TSys's website that they offer a credit card machine that can accept NFC payments including Apple Pay. I'm looking into that right now but I'll be sure to take note of your suggestion too. Thanks!
