Popping in from the window cleaning section, may be of interest to some of you!
Just got myself a mobile card terminal, and must say my customers love it!!!
No contract and no rental charges cos you own the terminal itself!!!
Ive looked at loads, this seems to be the best deal as there is no contract.
Have a look https://www.payyours.co.uk/Page/Card_Terminals
If you decide you want one quote promo code AHAY325711 and you get 1/2 price off the admin fee

:o

Is that good?
Seriously I have no idea
-
first year you will pay around £660 pounds and thats before you even take a card payment. :o
-
This will pay for itself in the long run we use one. It will take your customers by surprise sometimes though.
could also save you some time in going to the bank paying in cheques. The one's that your chasing for money by phone as well that say "i'll put a cheque in the post" and you can say it's okay i'll save you the stamp because you accept card payment.

Trust me I doubt even that would persuade one of my late payers to make payment.
Everytime I've done work for her I've had to chase payment but this time she's chosen to 'ignore' the initial invoice, ignore the 2nd one I hand posted, ignore the final demand registered letter (it's still not been collected from the post office after 10 days), and today had the threat of impending court action left on her ansa phone.
Tomorrow night I will do the online court action....... not bad considering her day job is working in credit control chasing payments :o Perhaps she thinks I'm bluffing....she'll find out and all over £72

Don't know how you came to that figure ???

300 for terminal
100 admin
180 minimum monthly
96 service and support.
total is ooooooh your right, i am wrong, its more ;D
-
Well admins half price.
I didn't put it on here for people to pick holes in it, or to be sarcastic, just help if anyone could use it. It's a lot cheaper than the banks terminals and no contract.
For us window cleaners we use SAE, so works out a lot cheaper with postage and banking charges.
Anyways, if anyone could use it have a look!

I tried to escape carpet cleaning last year ;D and became a salesman for a well know credit card merchant provider, take it from me buying a machine will be a nightmare, most merchants will not let you use your own machine due to security issues not to mention the cost, you can rent the bloody things for around £25 a month and any technical problems are sorted usually pretty quickly or a new machine is sent out.
-
Why bother with a machine when you can use your phone, iPad or other electronic device and save yourself the rental charges,
Adelante, been with them for a while now & can't fault them

Absolutely fantastic
-
I use pay pal

It also gets you their email address... ;D ;D
-
did anyone take up the payatrader offer that was on here
john
-
this Adelante looks the way forward to me! £10 a month and the first 40 free transactions,
-
I use payatrader, cant fault it to be honest. If you taking loads of cards then probably there are cheaper and faster (to get your money) options but for me its about giving the customer more choice on how to pay, Sometimes I might get three cards in a week then again I might go a month and not take any but if I take none it costs me nothing.

Steven, that's just the MobilePOS. You missing out the cost of the Merchant account that your have to have.
There are two separate costs associated with accepting credit cards. They are:-
Merchant Account - This is the specialised account provided by banks to allow you to accept cards. Banks charge based on the type of card and the volume of transactions you process. You should expect to pay something like the following:-
Account Set-up
£100
Credit Card Transactions
2.4%
Business or Corporate Card Transactions
2.7%
Debit Card Transactions
30p each
Most Banks would charge a minimum service fee per month of around £15 to £20 if your total transaction charges do not add up to more than the minimum service fee.
MobilePOS - costs just £50 to get up and running. After that there is a monthly charge of £10 per month (per merchant account and not per users). This includes 40 free transactions. Any transactions over 40 in a single month are charged at 25p each. These charges are in addition to the banks transaction charges.

thanks for that craig!! :-\
looks like its got to be paytrader then, :-*
-
Yeah I looked into it, the main problem is if I took nothing on card one month I still have the min service fee to pay on merchant account of £15 plus the £10 POS = 25
So not that cheap, and that's using a mobile phone to take cards, you'd think it would be cheaper.

the only thing putting me off payatrader is the 10 day wait...
-
same as steve if they cut that down id use it :)
-
Your paypal account gets the money instantly, and it takes 3 days for it to get to your bank....
You only pay low charges on what you transfer, and if you don't use it you pay nothing.
You get the customers email address for future marketing.....
Why on earth pay out for a service that most people have as they use ebay??
