Hi,
I have been thinking of not having a card machine. I have a mobile terminal and half the time I don't have good signal (my area is not the best for signal anyway), so unable to connect and take payments which is very frustrating as well as the amount it costs me to lease it and the cut the company takes off each transaction.
I work by myself so its quite a chunk all the time, just wondered if anyone has done the same and how you got on with clients being ok with having to pay cash? As much as I would let everyone know in advance if I did cash only we have two banks nearby the salon so people could easily get cash out.
It just got me thinking recently as my car mechanic said to me he doesn't have card machine anymore so my service and mot was cash or cheque and that's obviously big payments. I was surprised but it didn't bother me.
Has anyone had card machine, then got rid of it and how have you got on? Has it put clients off? Would I be silly to?
Thanks x
