Sorry but I know there are lots of you lot in the retail / commercial sectors. We are a doctors surgery. We're thinking of getting one of those hand held credit card chip and pin payment devices to take the punters money. Any tips? Any mistakes to avoid, best deals? We'd do maybe 5 payments a day.

Many thanks for any advice.

We use a company called cardsave, http://www.cardsave.net cheaper than doing direct through the bank and quite helpful when you're stuck too.

sorry to be cheeky but ive no idea about chip and pin however i do supply locum GP's

Do you need any doctors to cover holidays every now and then?

Dear Paul

Have been taking credit cards in my surgery for years. Why do you need hand held or is it that you do domicillary visits? Surely a simple fixed line device as per any merchant would be simpler/cheaper.

Happy for you to email me and I'll go through the cheapest deals out there.

Dear Everyone,
Thanks, looks like we'll go the Cardsave route.
