Can I really get a free Card machine?

Yes. We have a very special offer available from a provider which offers state of the art card machines for €0 / month.  With no monthly fee, this is an ideal solution for certain businesses, in particular those with low card turnovers or with a lot of seasonality.

What are the rates?

We have a range of providers with various plans.
With our free card machine plan, there are several options.

Standard Rates: 

Ask us about the % (IC++)
(Excluding Interchange + Scheme)

or

Flat Rate where all cards are a fixed amount.

The Fixed amount depends on
1. Card Sales turnover
2. Type of customers, ie: business cards & international cards.

For many small B2C businesses such as taxis, food trucks, market sellers, trades etc, the standard rate is 1.25% on all Visa and Mastercard, but if your card sales are more than €5,000/month on average, talk to us about bespoke plans. 


We tailor plans to your needs and rates are based on the types of sales, industries and any integrations needed. 

Talk to us to find out the best plan for your business!
