Paying by credit card

[theanalyst]

As Connor says above, it's simple. The terminal comes with full instructions and Cardsave have a helpline to get you started.

PLEASE GUYS, KEEP YOUR TERMINALS WELL HIDDEN WHEN IN THE VAN AND NOT IN USE!!!!!!!!

But if it got nicked what can a thief do with it??

Who's cage did you rattle Colin? Cardsave suddenly want to speak to me about a new card machine..

This thread made me investigate getting mobile card machines for all our delivery vans.

I'm a bit narked, because my card provider wants £1.68 more per month than the deal that system3 did for forum members. Still trying to beat the robbing toads down.

System3 - if you ever get fed up with installation, I have a job for you in our buying department. 🙂

Only problem is that your trade counter would suddenly find itself no longer selling flexies. LOL

This is going to make you wince System3...

Just put my stats geek head on, and checked our sales of flexis. Laid end to end, they would stretch from where I am sitting in Portmouth, up the A3, past Petersfield, on past the Liphook round-about, through the Hindhead tunnel and by Christmas, they would reach Guildford.

Now, which is sadder? All those flexis, or that I am spending my Friday night working it out?

 

[dancinplumba]

don't be making our sys wince please , I avent put his nappy on yet 🙂

[nicro3]

Oops wrong thread--sorry

 

[Guest123]

They are and washing machine manufacturers recommend that they are changed every 5 years, so where does that leave flexible hoses then? LOL

Well, met the reps today and signed up! Quite excited about being able to offer card payments, it should save a bit of admin time chasing invoices, too..

Thanks again for sorting out the discount, System3!

How much does the card system cost, ie The cost of machine (do you buy it or rent it?). Quarterly charges etc. Thanks. By the way only people that I have had elastic cheques from have all been builders, so I dont contract to builders anymore!

[on31ll]

going to continue following this thread if people continue to post there experiences. dont think i am at the stage of card machine yet but i do want one. next few months i guess

Just started using mine today,put three transactions through absolute doddle funnily enough I think it gives off a more professional air to your business.With the amount of cheques I used to bank I can just visualize the diesel saving running to and fro banking, that and the cracking forum deal which brings in every transaction cheaper than banking a cheque. For me its total convenience and clears funds into my account quicker.

 

[Guest123]

The facility to take card payments over the phone is a big bonus too. Although it's straight forward, contact the Cardsave helpline and they'll talk you through it.

Don that cost more though. Card not present ?

No, similar idea to the new so called contactless payment.

 

[Barry98]

Cool , might have to check when my contracts up

I know a handsome Scottish plumber that can get you a good deal. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Barry98]

Send me his number , I've got yours

It is higher risk though. We won't take card not present payments unless we know the cardholder personally. Probably a small risk if you have actually worked at the address, but dangerous if you are selling high value items to unknown customers.
