Mobile business and payment

[Roxybear]

I'm mobile in hair extensions (5 years) and started doing nail and lashes as well I normally take cash paypal or clients pay direct into
My account, I was just wondering does anyone use a mobile chip and pin machine and if they are worth investing in and using.

I was mobile for a few years doing hair extensions and after a while i did get a machine and for me it was definitely worth it.. I got it through lloyds cardnet..
I sometimes found people would have to go cashpoint after as didnt take out money before or not enough cash.. so it just eliminated any problems also it meant you could add extra treatments if beauty or sell products and they could pay by card if not enough cash.

I'd definitely say they're worth as a lot of people don't have cash. I think it just makes things easier
