Taking Payments on the go?

[BellatorGero]

Were going to be hosting a stall at a fight in a few weeks, obviously
we can take cash, but what are the options to taking cards on the go? Won't a PDQ need a phoneline? What other options are there? A virtual terminal with a laptop? Think?

Laptop with spare batteries and use your existing online card facilities?
Most people there will have an iPhone or other email ready mobile so do the same and take paypal payments?

I assume you are selling your T-shirts and other low value items like rash guards etc so most people will be happy paying cash anyway.

Yeh that's pretty much what were selling yeh.

Just don't know if we will get a signal in the arena. Which just ends it doesn't it. Any chip and pin options?

If you are already set up to accept cards you should be able to get a mobile terminal or at least a back-in-the-day slider from your provider.
We have the sliders in the shops for emergencys/power cuts etc and can get a mobile terminal as and when if we want to do trade shows etc.
I really don't think it will be an issue only accepting cash.
What show are you at?
