Card Machine Questions
Straight answers, no jargon.
Which card machine is right for my business?
If you take payment at a fixed till, a countertop terminal is simplest. If staff move around your premises — table service, shop floor — a portable Wi-Fi machine suits you. If you trade on the move at markets, events or on deliveries, a mobile 4G reader is the answer. Not sure? We'll talk it through and recommend the right fit, free of charge.
Do your card machines take Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. Every terminal we supply accepts contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay, chip-and-PIN, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro and mobile wallets — so you never turn a customer away.
How quickly can I be taking payments?
Most local businesses are set up and taking card within 48 hours of approval. We handle the setup and walk you through using the machine.
Are there hidden fees?
No. We're transparent on Interchange++ pricing, PCI compliance is included free, and there are no surprise line items. Send us a recent statement and our free rate review will show you exactly where you stand.
Should I rent or buy my card machine?
Renting keeps your up-front cost low and includes free replacements, support and upgrades — ideal for most small businesses. Buying is cheaper over the long run if you trade steady, higher volumes. We'll help you weigh it up.
