Physiotherapists card machine questions
Can I take payment on home visits?
Yes. The terminal uses a built-in 4G SIM, so a payment can be taken in a patient's living room with no WiFi involved.
Can I sell session blocks?
Yes. A block is simply one larger transaction, priced at the same blended rate as a single session.
Do patients get insurance receipts?
Yes. Emailed receipts include amount, date and your practice details, which private medical insurers normally accept.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. The first terminal is free and there is no monthly bill, so quiet months cost you nothing in rental.
What if I share a clinic?
Extra terminals are £14 a month each, so each therapist can keep their own takings separate and clearly reported.
