Can grooming take payment on the same terminal?
Yes. Grooming appointments and shop sales can both run through the same account and terminal.
Does it work for large deliveries of pet food?
Yes. A mobile terminal with 4G lets a delivery driver take payment on the doorstep.
Can I have a second terminal for grooming?
Yes, £14 a month, useful if grooming runs in a separate part of the shop.
What is the contract?
Eighteen months with no early exit fee.
