My wife has started her own business, I want to get her a chip and pin machine, she has an ipad and iPhone so connecting to those would be best. I havr seen a few on the net, the worldpay zinc and the izettle but I read with the izettle that they did have some issues with visa payments, can anyone shed some knowledge on this?

Whoever you use find out when their help line is open.
Eventually your terminal will go down on the saturday before Christmas so you want 24/7 help.
Ps we use streamline and cardsave who are good. Haggle on the fees though.

iZettle used to be chip and signature which Visa didn't like. They're now chip and pin and [url= https://www.izettle.com/gb/card-readers ]accept[/url] all major cards

Have a look at Payzone. Much cheaper than streamline and my clients had no problem with any transactions.

Does the PayPal one need the customer to have a PayPal account? I looked on the izettle wrbsite and it still looks like paying with visa is extra effort, with txt messages involved which the customer has to act on

I use Elavon which is recommended by my bank (Santander) and as such, payments are in my account within two days, which is something to bear in mind as others can take far longer.

The latest copy of PCPro, Epilog page at the back mentions Payleven, £83 for a reader that connects by Bluetooth, 2.75% handling fee.
What PCI compliance for a small business?

We lease through chip and pin solutions. Also try cost co as they were very good for first time customers.

Don't use payment sense. We had a nightmare with them.

When we got ours we googled rates then took some off and asked they could match it.

Our cash is in the account next day and rate 1.1pc on credit cards and 14p per debit card. We have about 1000 transactions a month.

Hope that helps.
