Izettle As Pos Terminal

[NozSpark]

Im just wondering if anyone is using iZettle (or similar) to allow them to take card payments as im thinking of binning taking cheques (except for an occasional trusted client)?

At 2.75% its not that bad, is it?

Ive looked at it,

but, most of my clients are businesses and they like cheques, or bank Tx.

We have no means of taking cards, never have, not been much of a problem, for the level of domestic, it's not worth it for us really.

99.999% of our business is B2B on nett monthly.

That means BACS or, the odd, cheque these days, mind, some of our customers are moving to the new fast bank payments, in your bank the same day they pay it from theirs!

I'm not really looking at binning cheques for existing good customers,,, it was more for new customers.. Like most of you I also have businesses that like to use cheques, BACS or bank transfer

I've now got an iZettle account (LOL) but will need to wait a month or so before I ask for a chip & pin reader (EE are doing them with upgrades and I'm due at the end of June)

Well I've just got around to getting a card reader...

Cost

£0 to set up account

£39 to buy card reader (on offer - normally £59)

2.75% per transaction deducted from each transaction

Payments into account on a daily basis (so they say)

I got one but haven't used it yet!

I've just paid myself £1 as a test purchase (to make sure that the money gets paid to the right place) and its cost me 3p

It'll also give me an idea as to how fast they pay

 

[Blue Duck]

Have done a test payment in the comfort of the office on wifi but not yet out in the sh*t

Have heard they can have problems with syncing bluetooth and obviously if your in a blackspot or subterranean

 

[NozSpark]

Well,,, if you're in a black spot then you need to get hook up to your customers broadband if that's how they want to pay... as for the Bluetooth issue,,, dunno

For the few occasions we have to take payment by card (mostly for the B&B) we use Paypal.  No fee if you get them to make the payment as gift to friend or family.

So where did the other .25%  come from ?  (I suppose the microscopic small print said money is rounded up) .

I'm sorry but I'm not going to be arguing with them over 1/4 of a penny but IKWYM
