mobile payment terminals?

[LlandrilloSpark]

Morning fellas

Anybody got a mobile payment terminal to take debit card details ?

Any details on which is best and their costs?

Thanks

The place that the card reader will be invaluable to me is the £50 / £100 jobs which I seem to be doing quite a lot of so adding on a fiver for card payment is neither here nor there

Most of my payments are by cheque or cash, though some do BACS. May be the area I live in (mainly retired people), but at the moment not had any need for a card reader and don't want one either.

I'm getting more and more customers asking if I take card payments, what I find is when I leave a job without payment it takes forever to get the invoice paid even when the say ' I'll transfer the money tonight' it's usually a couple of weeks of me resending the invoice and phoning them to that classic response 'oh I forgot sorry I'll do it today'. I'd rather have a facility to extract the payment there and then at a couple of percent than spend my valuable time chasing the bill for the next month.

With cheques destined to disappear the options and prices of the alternatives will hopefully drop. Even 2.75% per transaction seems steep to me

Cheques are no longer "disappearing".
It was planned a few years ago, but I believe the powers-that-be decided there would be too much cash trade if they scrapped cheques. I have spoken to a few people within the banking industry and they are definitely here to stay....at least for now

If I offered any of my customers a card terminal attached to my phone I think they would assume I was planning on cloning their card, or emptying their account at will.

MobilePOS is an app. No additional hardware needed. If a customer isn't comfortable putting in their details for payment then there are other methods
