Questions
How much does a card machine cost in Hayling Island?
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).

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.
What should a small hotel look for in a card machine?
The same rate on overseas and premium cards, a POS for the bar and restaurant, and a booking engine that takes deposits. The terminal handles payment on site; the booking engine handles payment in advance.
