Card readers

Hi! I need to get a new card reader for markets as my old ‘paypal here’ one from a few years ago doesn’t work and they no longer do them. Anyone have any recommendations? The reviews for all of them online seem pretty bad, so finding it hard to make a decision. Thanks so much.

I have a zettle 2, had it for several years, works well for me (Zettle are now part of Paypal).
If you need to get a card reader in a hurry then you can buy the sumup Air card reader from Rymans (and a number of other high street shops or even Amazon), it is normally on offer somewhere so don’t pay full price for it!

I think PayPal here uses Zettle card readers and payment handling services now. Im in a similar position, so i did a bit of research.
The cheapest Zettle reader is twice what i paid for my original reader.

Thanks Sasha, that’s good to know. I was leaning towards the Zettle, so good to hear it works well for you. :slight_smile:

I use a SumUp too and second what @Caroleecrafts says. Easy to use, British and competitive fees. I’ve never used any other, so can’t compare directly though.

Another one for SumUp here, can’t fault them so far.

I used to use izettle but changed to sum up recently mainly because we use sum up at the gallery that I’m part of and I have found their customer service amazing. Also the machine was on offer dirt cheap!

Ooh that’s really interesting - four for SumUp. Thanks everyone for your recommendations. Much better than looking at google reviews! :slight_smile:

Another for SumUp here.
I just changed a few months ago when my old PayPal one stopped working, after reading good things on here.

I think sumup made a really smart move with making their card reader so cheap and easy to get hold of.

SumUp being British also makes the customer service better.

Just got a sumup solo (needed mobile coverage as well) seems easy to set up and use so far
