Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Wi-Fi connection to take card payments?
No. Our mobile card readers use a built-in 4G SIM card to connect independently they work anywhere in the UK with a mobile signal.
What if I only do a few jobs a week is it worth the monthly fee?
Our Starter plan is designed for lower-volume users. There are no minimum transaction requirements, so even occasional use is cost-effective compared to lost cash jobs or chased invoices.
Can I send a payment link before I arrive on-site?
Yes. Our Pay by Link feature lets you send a secure payment link by text or email ideal for deposits or jobs booked in advance.
How quickly will the money reach my bank account?
Next business day as standard. Money is settled directly to your nominated UK bank account.
