but I pay £25 a month plus vat for the machine, then 1.2% debjt cards and 3% credit cards, it takes three days for funds to appear.
bear in mind that if a customer goes to his card issuer to quibble the payment, they get it back, you get the funds withdrawn no questions asked, leaving you twisiting in the wind.
izettle or the paypal one is face to face only, amd expensive on fees.
bank tansfer is the best way for you.
Hi Dan,

That sounds like a very good deal. I'm happy to pay £25 per month if the charge is 1.2%. I'll just refuse payment by credit card on it and take a cheque instead.

Who's that with?

Before you sign up to a tariff how much do you expect to put through as card payments? As to cover the cost of the 25+vat a month and the slightly lower commission you need to be doing at least 1.2k a month in debit card payments

I wouldn't struggle to put 1.2k through it at all. Apart from maybe December but even then I shouldn't think so.

As long as you get a lot paying by card it should work out cheaper than a no monthly fee higher transaction fee setup
