Antique Shops card machine questions
Is there a limit on transaction value?
No set cap, so a high-value antique piece is processed the same way as a smaller collectable.
Can several dealers use the same terminal?
Antique centres can run multiple terminals under one account, or take a shared terminal at the front desk.
Can auction winners pay by card?
Yes. Card payment can be taken straight after the hammer falls, settled the next working day.
Does it work for irregular, unpredictable trade?
Yes. There is no rental or minimum monthly charge, so a quiet week between sales costs nothing extra.
What is the contract length?
Eighteen months with no early exit fee.
