Title: Card Payments
Post by: S.W. Window Cleaning on January 10, 2017, 09:43:15 pm

I'm looking to be able to take care payments but I want a mobile one to carry in the van. The other thing it needs to be able to do is take a card payment over the phone with the customer not present.  Is there one anybody can recommend?
Cheers,
 Steve

PayPal. I have their card machine, comes in very handy. You can pay PayPal a fee to take over the phone payments too but I don't know how much they charge as I've never looked into it.

I spoke to PayPal. They say you need a Virtual terminal to accept payments over the phone. Not sure what that is but is that what you have?

I use izettle, that takes cards face to face.  I also have a paypal app that should connect with a paypal card reader, but i dont have one, so the app recognises that a paypal card reader isnt attached and gives the option to manually input the card details... hay presto, i can take card details over the phone.  ;)

I have a PayPal here card machine.  Links via Bluetooth to my phone and I take payments with the PayPal here app.
