I use SumUp they are UK based and works brilliantly.

You can also send invoices for payment of a sale. So if a customer cannot check out with PayPal, just send them an invoice through SumUp, they pay then annotate the Folksy order as paid.

I have a Zettle card reader (part of paypal), super easy to use via an app on your phone. You can also do invoicing through them if you need to.

Another SumUp user here, it’s currently on offer at £16 too I think.
I also know a few who use zettle too with nothing bad to say about them.

Thank u for ur advice . It’s better when u looking after recommendation . I am off today. Will have a look .

I use a PayPal Here machine, it works seamlessly and I’ve never had any issues with it.

Another vote for Sum up here😊

I use Sumup. You get paid in 2 days and it even has a shop to display your products so you can link to social media.

Another PayPal here user here. I love that the notification of payment email comes in almost instantly, usually before the customer has even left the stall. (Quite reassuring when it’s a biggy) and that the funds are instantly available.

I’m another happy SumUp user.

I use sumup. As I do most of my business at fairs, I’ve found that adding all my products onto my sumup dashboard means that I can record cash payments as well as card payments. I don’t have to keep a manual record of what I sell & can run off a report that shows all my sales for the day. Makes doing my accounts & keeping a stock record so much easier.

Thank u very much for all ur reply. Very useful !!!

My Sumup is brilliant. Works right away every time.
Had Paypal Here before but after not using it for a year with Covid when I tried it informed me it was irreperably broken… I was not impressed so switched to the Sumup, on offer on Amazon and so far much quicker to connect and respond.
