Paypal Here

I've been looking into getting Paypal Here for my micro business and I was wondering if anyone knows if it is available for UK/Pound payments yet?

    Not yet, I think it's due to be released sometime before the summer.

    But I'd go for the one offered by worldpay, it's a much better all round solution.

    mobile.worldpay.com

    Posted the below on a different forum, so just copied it.


    worldpay have also updated their pricing, they now do 2.75% across the board, with the device costing £59.99, I got mine free in the pilot that's now ended.

    but you can pay £5.99 a month and get 1.95% across the board.

    or £12.99 and process £1000 a month and then you get moved to the standard plan.

    ive recently got one, and payments are sent to your bank daily and IMO, the pin pad is much better than the ones offered by different providers, it actually looks like a proper pin pad that people are used to using, it looks more professional if you will.

    Im not sure how the others work, but worldpay sends the full amount to your bank, then bills you later for the fees, makes it easier to reconcile everything.

    Worldpay also works across multiple platforms, android, iOS and blackberry, where as intuit only works on iOS currently.

    this is the pin pad I received, although their website has been updated to show 2 different types of pin pad now, I think the smaller squarer pad is for iOS devices.

  • Do you have to have a business bank account for that? Can it be paid into your PayPal?

    It can't be paid in to PayPal, but any bank account will do, you don't need a business bank account, or any separate merchant account or anything.

    Have you thought about 'Ping-it' ?. This is ideal for micropayments.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

  • Have you got a link to a website for ping it as I cant find it? Thanks.
