Convenience & hygiene
More and more people prefer card payments over cash payments. Hygiene plays an increasingly important role in the experience of your business by the consumer, especially in restaurants & food shops. For the customer it is not OK to prepare food with the same hands receiving cash payments, even when cleaning hands between all operations. Businesses which do not accept bank or credit card payments miss out an increasing part of potential customer base. Connect24-7 negotiates competitive tariffs for you.
Fixed or mobile
Customers pay fast and secure with a fixed or mobile payment terminal in your business. The fixed payment terminal is connected with the Connect24-7 POS system so the amount of the order is sent directly to the payment terminal. Extra handling no more.
The mobile payment terminals are mainly used in restaurants to offer customer to pay at the table. But also more and more take-away restaurants are delivering at the home or office of customer. The customer appreciates the service of payment at delivery. Next to this couriers carry less cash money decreasing the chance of a robbery or loss.
Competitive tariffs
The payment terminals can be bought or rented. Connect24-7 has negotiated competitive tariffs for you thanks to our reliable partners.
When you already have a payment terminal of Verifone or SagePay or another supplier it is worthwhile to switch to the payment terminal of Connect24-7 when you process more than 3 transactions per day. Most payment terminal suppliers charge 14 – 20p /transaction and higher credit card percentages from 1,2 – 2,75%. If you have any questions on the high transaction costs and would like to know where the margins are: please contact your current payment terminal provider.
The future of today
The payment future of today shows that the part of debit card transactions and the wish of consumers to pay cashless is increasing rapidly. Many experts expect that in 2016 40% of all payment transactions are done with debit card and that 15% is paid with credit card.
Rely on the Connect24-7 services and make sure that you do not have to miss any purchase by potential customers!

It is also possible to connect a payment terminal in order to serve customers who want to pay with debit or credit cards. Payment machines are advised to be installed in combination with the Connect24-7 POS software.
Handling
Successful supermarkets, bakeries and butchers already noticed that they can save on the handling of receiving cash payments. The payment machine takes care of the taking, counting and returning cash money to the customer. This frees labour capacity for taking more orders per employee. A payment machine can already be economically viable for businesses which have 1 or a limited number of employees.
Hygiene
The customer experience is becoming increasingly important. A considerable part of the customers simply do not accept anymore that food is processed without plastic gloves and that the cash money of customers is received by the same hands preparing food products. A payment terminal or machine takes care that staff does not have physical contact with the payment method of the customer. The payment machine takes care that this also applicable for cash payments.
