I'd appreciate a copy of the PM if it's available please. It's weird as i have spent the last hour trying to suss out the best way to go about this!

I would say paypal is a very expensive way of doing it. Streamline charge about £25 a month plus £250 set up cost, i've been looking into the smartphone app's but some of them require you to manually enter details into phone, card number and security code etc and others have a little swipe device that clip into the iphone. Not sure if some customers would be comfortable with either of these and not sure I would either, last thing you want is someone accusing you of being involved in some kind of fraud.

There seem to be a lot of supplies of the mobile card reader but many of them don't list the prices online.

Paypal.

To cover the charges, charge an extra 2.5% surcharge on card payments. All the major stores, restaurants and retailers do this. Tell your customer first about this and include it on your terms and conditions of sale.

Paypal.

i presume you just give your customer your paypal address to make the payment to?? or do you use an app for your phone??

Set up a Paypal business account. They have online invoice templates that you can alter to your own needs. To get paid, get your customers email addy and send them an invoice. They pay you regardless if it's a credit or debit card or money transfer. If something goes wrong, you can have Paypal investigate it by opening a dispute and get your money for you.
At least with Paypal you're not stuck paying the monthly rental on a card machine which you might only need once in a blue moon.
Charge 2.5% as I have posted above to cover Paypal's fees. Costs you next to nowt and works really well.

i prefer card , paid straight away there and then.

can see people saying o i didnt get the email/invoice my internets down


etc

Bank account details - free!

 

[grahamgas]

Mine is with cardsave.
Costs me £27.50 a month. No minimum monthly transactions etc. No fees on debit cards and 1% on credit cards.
Used to have the paypal app thingy, but people were quite hesitant about paying with it for some reason.

ive got mine with cardsave, get loads of heating jobs paying on credit cards

 

[jtsplumbing]

Had one a few years back, was ok , but not used enough when I moved to the South West, to warrant rent'l charge on machine so give it up,

 

[Dannypipe]

Mine is with Streamline and costs me - £50 a month. Boy am I pleased I signed a 3 year contract - not.

You are seriously paying a tenner a month?

Is your cardmachine mobile (with a sim card) so you can trully use it out and about?

Mine is,with an Orange SIM. I'm clearly getting ripped off right?

by all accounts the guys selective who he gives machines to , weird i think id of thought he were on commission , ill pm you number later hes based in wetherby

 

[Dannypipe]

For my £50 a month I still have to pay percentage fees on every transaction. Not only am I having my trousers pulled down, I'm getting my backside wacked to boot.



I hardly use it too which is the final insult. Everyone is set up for BACS these days, and that's free.
