Sumup are very good and their contactless terminals are reliable.

Square.

£19 plus vat for the terminal, no monthly fees, 1.75% charge, paid into your bank the next day, chip and pin, contactless, and manual for remote payment. Easy to use on phone or tablet. I find it quicker and easier than cash, and the punters just love it.
Third cab on the station rank on Monday, and a guy asked me if he could pay by card. The two in front of me didn’t have readers. So I got the job. To Birmingham. :D taking the punter to a cash point isn’t an option for someone with a company credit card.
Like it or not, it’s the future.

My PayPal reader is now kept as a reader of last resort. Very hit and miss connecting via Bluetooth.

And I just got six months free of fees by recommending another user.

Square. Be there or be square.

Why would customers complain if a card reader doesn’t work, which means they don’t pay, Shirley?

Things will improve when Stamford gets a mobile phone signal I suppose, bur a manual payment is possible without a signal. Has your driver switched the reader on?

They moan about having to get out the car and go to a cash point.

Cash points are thin on the ground in the middle of nowhere, or South Lincolnshire as it is commonly known...

We have drivers that use Sum-up for incar payments. in the office we use the advance payment system on our Datamaster. It is easy for the customer to use and costs very little.
