Small Business - Sole Trader - Card Payments

I doubt any merchant provider offering PAYG is going to clear online payments faster without holding a (£20k?) deposit due to chargebacks etc. Cardholder present Chip&Pin will have a much lower risk profile than CNP using a browser, so if you want to do a lot of CNP you may need to find a deposit or enter a long-term merchant services contract likely costing more overall with terminal rental likely to be more than the purchase price of the WPZ/iZettle C&P-only devices.

Mr Poves seems to have had a different experience than I had, so your mileage may vary. Why not see how it works for you now you've ordered, then you can take cards in the meantime whilst you evaluate other merchant services providers?

It's such a shame to hear that, as their customer service was what convinced me to join and stay with them. Maybe they grew too fast, maybe there were internal restructurings, who knows, but it's a shame when something you had such good experiences with let's themselves down so badly.

Just changed from PayPal here to izettle. PayPal won me over with the ease of use and money in your qcco8jt within 2 hours. Then they randomly started holding money for 72 hours.... at least with I zettle they're upfront about this... alps moving forward if you ever need finance izettle will loan you based on your trading history through the machine not a standard credit proposal so can come in handy
