Frequently Asked Questions

Will the card reader work at an outdoor market with no Wi-Fi?

Yes. Our mobile readers use a built-in 4G SIM card for connectivity. As long as there is a mobile signal, the reader works independently of any Wi-Fi network.

Our mobile card readers are rated for 8+ hours of active use on a full charge enough for a full trading day at most markets.

Yes. The reader is not location-specific. Take it to any market, fair, festival or event and it will work in the same way.

No. There is no minimum volume requirement. Our pricing works for traders doing £200 or £20,000 a month.

Card payments at markets and outdoor events have grown dramatically in recent years. Research suggests a significant proportion of UK consumers now carry little or no cash, meaning market traders who cannot accept cards are losing a growing share of potential revenue. A 4G mobile card reader for market traders requires no Wi-Fi, fits in an apron pocket and can transform sales at outdoor events. Payee Solutions offers some of the most competitive rates for mobile card payment solutions in the UK, with no hidden fees and next-day settlement.
