I would be asking why?
No cheque book? How are the staff paid, bank transfer. Could they not do that for you.

for this so allow for it on your price.

Sounds a bit funny to me tbh.
I've done a lot of commercial and not one single job has said they can only pay by card.
Sounds like you don't wanna go more than one clean behind. ;)

Do you have to have good phone signal/3g for this?
