Card Machine

It's all about turnover, if you have a good turnover then a proper merchant like Streamline is the way to go.


The rates are low and it's debit card transaction are set at 20-25p regardless of the amount rather than 2.75% that the likes of Paypal etc charge.


The I-zettles etc are handy for people on lower turnovers as there is no contract but any established business would be mad not to go with a proper merchant.

Bris, what is the PAYG "transaction rate" at Streamline.
Their website says this (for PAYG):


Charges

No fixed montly commitment and a single transaction rate**

Transaction authorisation fees apply
Gateway fee, 10p per transaction


but I cannot find anywhere the details. How much for instance do they charge to take payment with Visa cc & Amex cc ?


Also it seems Streamline belongs to Worldpay, is their data connection more reliable than wpz ? I guess as the service is more professional, it should be.


How much per month would turnover qualify as "good" ?


Thanks for your feedback.
