CARD PAYMENTS FOR TRADESPEOPLE

Take Card Payments When the Job Is Done

Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, builder or decorator, you often finish a job away from a desk or reliable Wi-Fi. A 4G mobile card reader lets you offer card and contactless payment at the customer’s property, provided there’s a mobile signal. You can also send a payment link for a deposit or an invoice, giving customers a convenient way to pay without cash or a bank transfer.
