Hello everyone,
My name is Nancy and I own two businesses She-rocks and Twiceasnicetiara both selling my handmade gemstone jewellery one for weddings the other gemstone jewellery.
I want to find out how I can accept creditcards on craftfayres on my mobile phone.
One trader told me they accepted credit card payments on their mobile phone, which seemed ideal; no monthly rental machine charge, it was a one time setup fee of about £150 and the +-2% commission on each transaction,
Anyone out there using the same thing?
If not, do you know of any company doing this kind of thing where you don't pay a monthly rental fee for the machine?
Thanks,

hello, the company you want is; chip and pin solutions, it says on their website that you also need a merchant account to handle your payments, such as streamline. if you are registered with the market traders federation you will get preferential rates.

Thank you all for your replies, chip and pin solutions have a monthly contract, so did not want to go with them, but I am in the process of going with Adelante, I got a really good deal as I signed up with the NMTF for £70 a year and they have a deal with Adelante so don't have to pay the setupfee, Adelante sets the Merchant account up for me as well with Bank of Ireland, who really recommends Adelante as well, for the excellent deal. I will now be able to accept credit card payments on my mobile from anywhere, it is so flexible and no monthly contract involved!!!
Thank you for that lead!
