Always the right price for you

Our pay as you go plan couldn’t be simpler. You just pay for each transaction. No monthly fees, no commitment. But if it suits you better, you can choose a different plan. And as your needs change, your plan can change with you. No penalties.

Great idea, I know if I was a fixer I'd definetly have this.

No more "chqs in the post"

 

[Mr Tiler]

I agree its a very good way to charge a customer... all depends on what the charge is tho lol

 

[Mr Tiler]

2.75% of each payment isn't bad at all but if a job went into the thouasnds I would preffer cheque lol. and you shouldn't really have to pay £60 for the card reader as they will be taking that percentage over a long period of time! just my 2 pence

 

[Dan]

If you spend enough per month the charge is a fixed monthly fee by the looks of it.

I know Santander do a similar thing, maybe for smaller jobs as alot of people live on the card nowadays...

 

[Dan]

Anybody signed up to this yet?

 

[White Room]

I hav'nt even got the internet on my phone...

 

[Gazzer]

I was looking at it recently, Screwfix have a very similar machine....I was tempted, 2.8% ish which isnt too bad and may encourage people to spend.

 

[Clydesider]

Screwfix do something similar - its still 2.75% of charge, but you buy the reader for a one-off £60 and theres NO monthly fee. Its on my Christmas list, and I love the fact that if you don't use it then it doesn't cost you anything.

 

[Gazzer]

I guess it depends what type of work you do , more suited to private work I would say.

 

[PaulSmith]

Direct bank transfer is just as good. Faster payments means it's in before you get home. I do this a fair bit.

 

[Clydesider]

I quite agree with you Paul; I put my bank details on my Invoices as I prefer this way.
The main thing about the Card readers is that its for customers who DONT have the money:lol:

My other half works for Worldpay. Wonder if I can blag a free one.....doubt it!

 

[Ajax123]

I still have a psychological block over these payment methods... I have no logical reason why but they make me uncomfortable...perhaps it's just the idea of paying for stuff that upsets me...

 

[Bubblecraft]

I've been taking card payments for over a year now. It's fantastic. So many benefits to being able to take cards. I mainly use Worldpay (before it went to Zinc. Better charges) but also have iZettle. Same device but works slightly different. Only use iZettle if Worldpay fails for any reason.

 

[dboden]

I have been thinking about it too... I suppose they are all quite similar, with 2.75% charges.. I was looking at the paypal one, as there are so many paypal/ebay users out there.
