Taking Card Payments - Cheap!!

[Paulplumb]

I have a worldpay terminal and it costs £16 a month. The cost per transaction on debit cards are pennies. It is a few percent on credit cards which I would pass on to the customer. Therefore most customers opt to pay via cash or debit card.

This has also changed in the recent re-organisation.

Debit cards had always used to be a fixed price - usually somewhere between 12p and about 35p. They are also moving to a percentage basis, like credit cards, although a slightly lower rate.

It shouldn't affect you if you are in contract, unless the acquirer has something in their small print that allows them to change the basis of their charging.

Currently with worldpay zinc. They charge no rental but alot more @2.75% per transaction.
I just pass it on.
Often makes them produce the cash anyway when faced with a bigger bill lol

Anyone avoid the new paypal tho. All the problems associated with paypal and charge backs - disputes etc.

Wasn`t there something in the news recently about card payments and the fee`s that can be charged to you?

Yes basically retailers won't be allowed to charge a fee for card transactions. A real victory for consumers right? No - all retailers are going to do is put their prices up by 2-3% regardless of how you pay!!
