[ccmids]

I have seen a taxi use one ! but my guess is exspensive to use... :

[ccmids]

This is something i have been thinking about. I have found this company that do it ....

Have a look at there FAQ's page. Im going to give them a ring i think and find out more. It would work for window cleaning and is better than carrying cash around.

i was looking at commidea web site

the FSB do a cheap service, but ive not really thought much about it.

Its not really worth it for the £10 houses, but maybe for the £100+ cleans of sorts..

Maybe i'll ask for a info pack.. if cheques do get phased out it will be the next option.

I have been speaking with them tonight about this, less than £25 a month, or you can buy a terminal and pay 9.99 a month there are about £450 to buy.
if you have 100 £10 houses it is defo worth it if they all pay on the day, gives the added option of payment.

I think this is the way to go , in a few years everyone will be useing these things .

yeah only good if they are in.. most are not.

So otherwise it will be using a merchant service where by the card holder is not present and you have to take the card details over the phone etc..

easier to use paypal or no chex..

[concept]

you could take payment over the phone.

just another alternative.

[reflection]

does anyone have a website where the customer can pay online and it goes straight into your account
or better still when the payment is made it is marked of your records

[pingu]

chip and pin has been in everyday use here in Holland for years but I would be very wary to use this system to take money...I just do not think the custy's would take to it and further more most are out anyway when I clean...

Internet banking transfers seems to be the ticket for me.

Cheers

Yes Dave, attitudes are different here to internet banking, Had a good look at chip/pin machines, costs were OK if you buy the terminal, otherwise too expensive to rent and pay %.

As some have already said, not much good if the custy is out when you clean.
