Taking card payments is really important. It's made things more streamlined, easier and it's simple. So many people don't have cash, so to come to a tiny village and have that accessibility is great.

FAQs
What types of payment can I take?
You’ll be able to accept everything you’d expect, like all the major credit and debit cards (Mastercard, Visa, Maestro and American Express).
You’ll also be able to accept contactless payments, as well as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay (also known as Android Pay).
How do I charge the handset?
The machine comes in two parts. A charging base and separate handset, which will need to be plugged into the mains power.
You can sit the handset in the base when you’re not using it to charge, or charge it overnight – whichever works for you!
How do I know if it's the right machine for my business?
If you want to take payments to your customers, rather than them having to queue up at the till, it's a great option.
Businesses who commonly use them include cafes, coffee shops, restaurants and bars, although they are useful in many other businesses too.
One of our card payment specialists will come and meet you to find out how you want to use a card machine and recommend whether it’s a portable one you need, or a different type.
They’ll be able to create you a personalised pricing package based on your needs.
