Credit card acceptance alternative

I just saw this maybe it will be of some use to someone

https://www.izettle.com

It is a smartphone app that is a PDQ machine with an optional card reader. Customers sign the screen and they get emailed a receipt.

All cards are processed at 2.5%

Hope its of some use to someone!

    just like every other one of these, it doesn't work with visa.to process with visa you need to input the customers phone number, they get sent a link, and they pay online.

    it works in exactly the same way as say the sumup reader, which is free, which also doesn't process visa payments.

    Already several threads on IZettle but as stated above it is seriously flawed.

    A much better alternative is the WorldPay mobile terminal which gives you a chip and pin machine just like you see wherever you shop. This connects via bluetooth to your android phone and gives you chip and pin security.

    Other benefits include the ability to take "Customer Not Present" transactions over the phone for mail orders, etc.l
