Receiving credit/debit card payments

[mrsxllifts]

We are looking at setting up a system that will enable us to take card payments from our customers. We used to have a Streamline machine/account but not using it everyday, as it was being used in a shop, it become an expensive commodity to use only maybe once or twice a month.

Does any one have any ideas on other ways to do the tranactions ie online types, actual machine types etc that would suit our limited use and not cost a fortune each month to be barely used?

Thanks in advance

PayPal's virtual terminal

You could use Protx, we do.

It's a web based card terminal system that costs £10 plus VAT a month on top for your Streamline card charges.

Just Google Protx.

You could also join the FSB (Federation of Small Business) and get their discounted card processing rates.

Thanks James and Johnbear. Will look into all of these options.

Some of the charges the banks want is madness!!

Hi James. Thanks for your help with our dead debitor! Thinking about asking you to repo his body!
