Apologies for another question but more advice needed for a newbie,

Can I ask which card reader you all use? Been scouring the internet and the 3 I think appear to be the most popular are

Square
Zettle
Sumup

because I live in The Highlands phone coverage can be a bit sketchy at times although I can get a signal most of the time, reading through their websites I think
the best one that offers easiest tipping is Zettle, am I right?

Which one do you use and why?

Thanks again in advance.

I’m currently using Lopay, I’ve set up weekly payments straight into my bank account and only pay 0.79% commission. You can set up earlier payments but you get charged more. I don’t bother with the ‘tipping’, most people don’t even look at the reader. I have used SumUp and Zettle in the past, not much between them.

I'll check that out does the reader sit on the dashboard or do you pass it to people?

Did think that about tipping, I wouldnt look at the reader myself just flash my car 0r phone over it.

£270 for the Lopay terminal??? mmh.

I've used iZettle since they first came out. Might have even got the unit for nothing.

They charge 1.75% which in the grand scale of things is peanuts, even for the tightest of drivers.

I only use the actual card reader about once every twenty card payments, as the phone function works very well for me.

I'm on SumUp 3G - 1.69% and you opt for daily/weekly/monthly payout.

It's a stand-alone with its own SIM and came with a printer. Think it's discontinued but still on sale at Toolstation for £80.

You might want to have a couple of card options in case one goes down.
