Garden Centres card machine questions
Does it work outdoors among the plants?
Yes. The terminal has 4G built in, so it takes payment away from the main building where WiFi does not reach.
Can the café run separately from the shop?
Yes. A second terminal at £14 a month reports separately, so café takings and garden sales stay distinct.
Is there a limit on trolley sale size?
No set cap, so a large greenhouse or furniture order is processed the same as a small plant sale.
Can we add a terminal for a Christmas grotto?
Yes, £14 a month for the extra terminal, useful just for the seasonal event.
What is the contract length?
Eighteen months with no early exit fee.
