Sage may be took over the top,as you have to invoice each clean.
 This is  good, it's £60 per annum, I don't pay the monthly fee as I don't need the on line payment facility

I'm intrigued as to how these company's can accept money on behalf of others, I've had a little experience of setting up an on-line payment facility and obtaining a merchant ID etc.

The last thing you want to tell a bank is that your accepting payments on behalf of someone else.... they would have a fit trust me, I tried  ;D

I see they are charging 3.4% +20p per transaction, this sounds about right from what I remember, so I'd think they are making nothing on the financial side of it, just the monthly subscriptions.

Only problem I can see is that a good many older people wont use the web to pay.

One option I've considered is leaving the customer with a card and asking them to call us and make the payment over the phone, still a proper pain in the backside though.

We use Sage Act  ;D Great database system and yes easy to schedule work. We dont use it to its full capability, But fairly simple to use - if you are after creating invoices as well you will need Sage accounts which can obviously be linked to Act
