Health Food Shops card machine questions
Can I use the same machine at markets?
Yes. The handheld has 4G built in, so the same terminal you use in the shop works at a farmers' market or a wellbeing fair.
How are small baskets priced?
At the same blended rate, with no fixed pence charge added, so a £4 bag of oats is not disproportionately expensive to take on card.
Will it work with my till?
It works standalone or integrated with most common EPOS systems. Tell us what you run and we will confirm compatibility before install.
Do I pay anything monthly?
No. The first terminal has no rental, no minimum charge and no PCI fee. You only pay the rate on what you actually take.
What if I open a second shop?
Add a terminal for £14 a month. Your rate stays the same and both shops report under one account.
