Sounds good Steve

Presumably you have to pay to set up a merchant account on top?

Does the £15 include all your transactions?
It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

I signed up with Payatrader its easy and quick and does the business - 89 pounds setup (one-off fee) no monthly charge in fact no other charges except percentage on each payment made thro Payatrader - I think its 3.5% or thereabouts - on a 195 invoice they kept 5.75 - its a convenience thing - if customers want to pay by cc I tell them its 2% extra on the bill they accept this no problem - if they have a smart phone or pc at home it goes thro ead quick - while Im re-loading the van I get a text from Payatrader confirming payment

Its simple, it works no terminal rental nothing complicated - ten days later I get the money bgc

Theres £50 setup fee and they will set you up a merchant account if you dont have one for £50

There after you pay the usual percentage per transaction to card companies and a small percentage per transaction to adelante, but the £15.00 fee a month includes any fees up to the amount then basically they add on any over and above that.

Ive not ever gone over the £15.00 though.

I just find it so convenient, works on any smart phone, plus you can take payments over the phone ( not all systems allow this ) and you have a internet interface for admin purposes and also taking payments.

So you have the best of all the options

Regards
steve

I have decided to give this a go... seeing as there are no minimum contracts or merchant accounts to set up it looks pretty straight forward.
If you have an iphone or any smartphone with internet you go to www.payatrader.mobi USING THE PHONE.
Only time will tell if its a good thing but in comparison its cheap and you dont need a business account to use it.

I received a £25 discount by tapping in CLEANITUP as the discount code

I'm live now... This needs a dedicated app written for the iPhone which would make it so much more user friendly

Been using this a while now.
You get a £25 discount for reccomendation ( look at the small print)
It took me about 30 mins to register  and go live when i did it.

Use the mobi app for your phone, it takes seconds to load and is the fastest way todo the transactions.
