Taking card payments

[geordie]

Have been looking into this barclaycard have a good offer on at the moment. With a mobile machine so can take payments onsite. Main point of going down this route saves time by cutting out having to goto the bank to put cash and cheques in. No waiting for cheques to clear.
Just wondered if any one else does this

i always looked at one but the cost of using it outweighs teh amount of customers who want to pay by card!

Now that would be a good iphone app !!!

I looked at it, it's not so bad for debit cards (around 50p charge, but for credit cards it was around 5-6% of the transaction).

but i would be dubious if the worker was tapping my card details in to his phone rather than a chip pin terminal!

how many customers want to pay by card though?? im probably spending 15 quid on banking cash and cheques so i see logic... and there is no excuse when they say the need to go cash pint.... AHEM.... card please..!

 

[geordie]

have been asking customers over the last couple of weeks and most said they would be happy to pay by card. Also cheque payments take 5 working days to clear card payment hits your account next working day. Not excuse for not paying you for any extra work. like you said card please

What about paypal as well
