You need to negotiate a 'tariff' (I hate that word).

We've been looking at Evalon, 19p for debit card and 1.1% for credit, costs £12:50 a month for the machine.

A lot are now moving to machineless systems, either by logging on to the internet to do it or via your mobile phone.

Payatrader has just launched a new GPRS Chip & Pin terminal that's £3.00 per week to rent. The rates vary between 2.3% and 2.90% based on your weekly card turnover. All the prices and rates are transparent and published on the website at www.payatrader.com.

With this service you can take payments online at your website, by telephone using a virtual terminal, by mobile, email and via a 24/7 contact centre - handy if there's no mobile signal where you are working. The chip & pin terminal is entirely optional.

Hope this helps

I was considering iZettle  no monthly fees just 2.75% per transaction, which I already pay when using Paypal anyway. 
You can type details into your iphone or android manually or pay one off fee of £20 for card reader.

Has anyone else used them?

I've just done the izettle. The thing that goes in an iPhone 4 is now free.
Paid £1 which they refunded to confirm the bank account just waiting for the gadget to turn up.

Card Save was recommended to me by my bank manager (RBS). They have been brilliant. Maybe not the cheapest but their technical support and customer services are top notch.

I don't do mobile readers so can't really say what they are like. We have a 'virtual terminal' which we integrated into our round software. The guy who did the programming for us could not fault card save's technical support.

Card Save also do 'pay by link' which will allow us to fire off an email automatically from our round software which has a link to pay the bill, once it's paid it will automatically update onto our software. Genius.

This is something I have briefly discussed with the guy who designed it, I would not be comfortable selling it without his OK and I would not be confident in selling it without his support. It is certainly a possibility.

I will be meeting with him in the coming weeks to discuss tweaks / improvements to the software, I will speak to him about it then.

@ Bobplum, you're right. I was prepared to pay the £20 but when I went to pay it said it was free.
Perhaps they only want people who would be prepared to pay rather than a load of people getting it just cause its free?
I don't know. I didn't pay though.
