Why not just use a provider like Stripe where you have their app on your phone and no machine?

Additionally you can then use it to take payments over the phone.

how much do they charge?sum up is 1.7% per transaction so 17p per £10 which is pretty good however they charge around 3% for payment over the phone plus 25p per transaction.....

if you use stripe can you do contactless payments with your phone?how do you take payment there and then without chip and pin if the job is over £30?input their card number in your phone?that would be a ball ache IMO...

A ball-ache? Give it up Daz, what are you a poof?

what i mean is....say the jobs £70...i pull out the card reader then the custy punches in their 4 digit PIN and presses the green tick,job done.....with stripe on your phone DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE LONG CARD NUMBER ON THE FRONT,EXPIRY DATE AND THE SECURITY CODE in order to process their payment?

Yes, but when they're a drive away and its cold out and you don't want to collect, you phone them up and do the biz over the phone. There's no ball-ache involved, in fact it saves ball-ache, the ball-ache of going out driving to collect.

But if you want to take a payment using the phone app whilst you're there punching in 16 numbers isn't a ball-ache either.

it is if your used to contactless payments or chip and pin...its quicker and less faff than getting their 16 digit card number at the door.if your collecting on a run (straight after the clean)of say 6 or 7 houses all paying by card then its far more faff than a card reader...........im out....

On the sumup phone app there is a virtual terminal in settings....just go to it while your on the phone to the customer and take their long card number,expiry date and 3 digit security number.....job done....👍

Anyone else who uses the Stripe phone app for "Card not Present" transactions??

I know that Stripe are very well thought of by some...

Thanks Slacky,

How did you find getting the app working? What was it like getting it all set up?

What is it like to use?

[Slacky]

Cant remember to be honest. But its a treat to collar your customers over the phone and take payment that way.
