Questions
How much does a card machine cost in Emsworth?
Flatpay's terminal has no upfront cost and no monthly fee; you pay 1.49% on all cards (terminal). Elsewhere terminals cost from about £19 (Square Reader) to £149 or more, and rates run from 1.2% (Dojo, under £100,000 a year) to 1.75% (Square, Zettle). Flatpay asks for at least £1,100 a month in card takings, or charges £39 for that month.
How quickly will I get my money?
Flatpay pays out daily. SumUp pays next day at 7am including weekends, Square and Worldpay next working day, Dojo next day.
Do customers still pay with cash?
Cash was 8% of all UK payments in 2025, down from 17% in 2020. 39% of all UK payments were contactless in 2025. (UK Finance, UK Payment Markets 2026.) Not taking cards means turning some customers away.
Is there a contract?
Contract terms differ: Worldpay asks for an 18-month hire and Dojo 12 months (30-day rolling above £100,000), while SumUp, Square and Zettle state no fixed term. Flatpay does not publish its contract length on its website, so ask for it on your quote.
Do I need a POS or just a terminal for a takeaway?
A busy kitchen usually benefits from a POS that sends orders to the kitchen printer; a small counter can start with the terminal alone.
