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.
How long does the battery last?
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.
Can I use the same reader at different markets and events?
Yes. The reader is not location-specific. Take it to any market, fair, festival or event and it will work in the same way.
Is there a minimum monthly transaction volume?
No. There is no minimum volume requirement. Our pricing works for traders doing £200 or £20,000 a month.
At a market or outdoor event, you may have no access to Wi-Fi, and some customers will want to pay by card or phone. A mobile reader with a built-in 4G SIM lets you take card and contactless payments wherever there is a mobile signal. You can use the same reader at different markets and review your transactions after each trading day.
