Perfect for those who run their own business like sole traders, the iZettle card reader allows you to take card payments, including contactless payments, easily with an average of just 5 seconds per transaction.
The reader works with iOS and Android devices with Bluetooth, and allows you to keep an accurate record of your transactions, along with an easy-to-use product library. The app also gives you access to free reports and analytics, to help you push your business further.
What other benefits are there?
No lock-in contracts
Pay as you go - you only pay per transaction
No merchant account needed - get payments in your bank account within 2-3 working days.
Battery life of the reader is 8 hours, or 100 transactions. and will charge via USB. If that doesn't meet your needs, you can pick up the iZettle reader + Dock together for £46.80 including VAT.
The dock charges your card reader, as well as doubling as an ideal display for the reader, on your counter.
Sound good? Hit the 'Get Link' deal to get started, and after signing up, you should have your card reader in a few days. Simple! :smile:
Good price :smile: Square is a good alternative but its a slightly higher upfront cost (and I think more people will trust the look of the iZettle reader when passing card info across). Square has a lower transaction fee at 1.75% (2.5% for manual, same as iZettle).

Chargeback information if anyone was wondering
Transaction Protection
Our transaction protection program will cover up to £250 of your chargebacks each month, provided you’ve followed our best practices for accepting card payments.
A chargeback arises when a card holder contacts his/her issuing bank disputing a card payment. The reason behind this could be one of many, such as the card holder not being satisfied with the product/service purchased or not remembering making the purchase at all.
You’ll be notified by us via email as soon as we’re informed of a chargeback, and you'll then have 10 days to get back to us with the information requested in the email.
Our transaction protection program will cover any chargeback no matter the outcome as long as (1) we determine that the disputed card payment was carried out in accordance with our terms and conditions, (2) all requested information has been provided to us within the stated time parameters and (3) the chargeback is within the £250 monthly coverage

Looking at the display in that photo, I can imagine a customer baulking at £50,00 instead of the £50.00 they were expecting. :neutral_face:

Is this purely just for business use?
I could do with something like this for personal use!
I'm always the one forking out for meals out etc and it's never easy getting money off people, but contactless payments into my account sound perfect!
(I know you can use online banking without any charges, but not everybody has that set up unfortunately!)

Yes you can. I wanted a second reader for my business and iZettle wouldn't give me a deal on second reader, so I got a deal similar to this in my wife's name and used her account details :-)

My thoughts exactly. Seeing that comma I expect three noughts after the "50" (i.e. 50,000) and I'd definitely be baulking at that. Very amateurish.

Where is the deal? It was this price 9 months ago

Last night (or the night before) it was £29.99+vat as I was looking to get it. I think the offers come and go but £19+vat is the best price i've personally seen it.

Sumup 1.95% fixed, so better for lower use
