There is new an app for i phones and androids that allows debit and credit card payments. A machine is more professional but it may be more expensive than the app.
I heard the advert on radio yesterday.

Hi Mate, had thought about that and did a survey with most of my existing customer base. Whilst most were more than happy to have their card details processed through a mobile terminal, the percentage of them gave a resounding no to putting details through a phone on the grounds of security? Personally i don't think I would be happy if somebody asked me to input a pin or any private data into a tradesman's phone.

Agree with this. No way I would do it.
 
Well, I had the disappointment of hearing that they couldn't help me from Cardsave today. Apparently because my provider is one of their affilitations and they didn't want to poach my business, fair do's I said, just make your affiliate charge less then!!..
 
That's a shame Connor. Can't you cancel your current agreement and then sign up with Cardsave?
 
I'm considering it Colin, which would they rather have, my money with 123send or my money with Cardsave? either way it seems like a no-brainer to me.
 
I hope there's not, I've had it about 4 years and I didn't sign any renewal agreement. Ill give them a buzz tomorrow, see if I can point out how daft it is.
 
It was the only thing I could pull on the card save agreement. Cancel early and you still need to pay the remainder 12 months of the agreement plus a 150 fee for the terminal.

But on the plus side it's only a 12 month agreement and I don't see it as an issue.
 
System how hard is this machine to use i hate anything computer related. Its probably easy to use but until you get one in your hand you never know
 
Its like working a big calculator. All you need to do is press transaction, put the card in the machine, type in the amount, let the customer type their pin in and it tells you if its accepted or declined, you get two receipts printed out, one for you and one for the customer. The money arrives in your account after 4 or 5 days roughly. Nothing complicated about it Destroyer2813
 
Oh good, my knowledge of computer stuff is somewhat limitd and i have a short fuse at best of times
 
As Connor says above, it's simple. The terminal comes with full instructions and Cardsave have a helpline to get you started.

PLEASE GUYS, KEEP YOUR TERMINALS WELL HIDDEN WHEN IN THE VAN AND NOT IN USE!!!!!!!!
