If you only do a few transactions how about just using smart 
phone/tablet? We use: https://squareup.com/

Reader is free, iOS or Android, low fees, easy to use, take transactions 
anytime, anywhere.  Signature, and email receipts, download transactions 
to various software.  Highly recommended.

There is also:

although I have not personally used that on.

What I like about these "out of the box thinking" services, is the fact 
that the fees are low, there is no expensive hardware or software 
required, and they are easy to use.
