Title: Card Machine
Post by: Tom.m on March 28, 2016, 04:16:10 pm

Afternoon chaps

Currently I only accept cash, cheque's & bacs.

I imagine most have card machines? Whats the best company to use, Paypal? Also just wondering if anyone has seen sales increase due to offering card payment?

Thanks
Tom.

I have the paypal card reader, its been a total waste of money very few people want to pay the 2.4% charge. Better off sticking to cash or bank transfer.

Worldpay Zinc..................you pay a flat charge per month depending on your level of turnover.
Derek not surprised. I swallow the charges as I offer it as a convenience to the customer to pay. Three days later it hits my account and it would cost me more to go to the bank, queue and then wait 5 working days and have the risk that the cheque would bounce.

I think they have a refer a friend which I can send you and it reduces the card reader.
Send me your email address and I will get them to send you a link.

We have a dedicated merchant account and pay a monthly fee that includes trans charges and its a mobile terminal.
We use it about 4 or 5 times a day some days.

Its always a worry that someone will pay by cheque and do a runner.

That would be great Tony, its marney92@hotmail.co.uk

Tom Its done

You get £10 off the card machine so that makes it £29.99.

If anyone else wants to take up the offer here is the code.

Incidentally it also allows you to take payments over the phone when at your computer and also sends them a receipt either via email text or you can opt to write a hand written receipt.

Maybe no increase in sales but because we take a deposit over the phone it eliminated no shows :)
