Post by: Steve Weatherley on June 17, 2010, 09:45:59 pm

Does anyone take payment by credit card? If so who is the card services provider and what are the costs involved?

Worth a try.

I have a normal card reader.

It aint cheap.

Good for collecting overdue customers though.

Looks good but there is no info about the charges.  I don't want them to "call me back" until I've looked at the rates they charge.  This is because it can easily lead to getting yet more unwanted sales calls from places.

They will call you back to arrange for someone to come to you to go over the prices... like a double glazing salesman would. They wont give out the costing over the phone

He took a look at last yrs turnover. (I would post that on here, but I'm not going to)

It is the static CNP machine not the mobile devices, they were far more expensive.

This looks like the future of that anyhoot:
