Maccaman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 We use one at work with great success. I think it costs about 3% of the transaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks guys, as always Had a couple of great suggestions I will pursue. Paypal has been costing me upwards of £50 for some exhaust. It's too bloody much, need to reduce it so I can pass savings on to you guys. Some good options have been given without having the card reader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 paypal is expensive, however, if you can arrange with your customer to mark it as a "gift" - then as far as I can recall - they don't charge and direct bank transfer is free !!!

marzman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have worked with a company called Commidea on behalf of our clients who provide c&p terminals to take payments. U can rent a device on a monthly contract and u can manually key card details in over the phone. Alternatively have a look into getting a PDQ machine, although I'm not sure what they link to...

rtbiscuit Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 i set up a business account which i don't mind passing the account details out on. so people can make payments in to it via online or phone banking. it has no overdraft and the cash only stops there temporarily before being moved on. it works for me at the moment, but i'm not sure people could use a credit card with it.

This is true, however most buyers would prefer to use Paypal/Credit cards for the extra protection that they provide. If you mark the payment as a gift you lose their protection.......
