Thanks all. Sumup came up when I did a search, but having never heard of them before I rather dismissed them. It appears they charge no fees for qr code transactions?
Can ask why avoid paypal? Square fees look on a quick search more than PayPal's.
Oh nice, I wondered if you could do that. Can you update the pricing linked to the qr code, or do you have to generate a new code on price changes? Do you give a slight discount for two jars? I'm still trying to figure out the price to charge per jar!We have a PayPal GR for our honestly box sales. On ours it’s set up with two QR codes one for a single jar and another for two jars, hence the customer doesn’t have to enter an amount all they do is scan the code!
Is that a normal card reader that requires you to be present?
Stripe.. Sum Up…Square….You’ll have to double check who does the qr code. At some point my partner has used those. Square is currently used for a catering business.
The Zettle is a card reader .. you can do remote transactions with it but you do need a mobile phone as it requires a connection to the internet. Sadly, you have a lot more options available if you move into the 21sr Century and get yourself a mobile device of some sort. I have a Samsung Galaxy, affordable, loads of memory and not too complicated for a septuagenarian.
I've never had a problem with paypal .. their terms are published but they are designed to protect both buyer and seller. I've had good experiences in both respects using paypal for both sales and purchases. Zettle may be owned by paypal but it's a separate entity and I've not heard anyone say anything detrimental about it. I've certainly been well pleased with them. Each to their own .. my experience has been positive.Stripe.. Sum Up…Square….You’ll have to double check who does the qr code. At some point my partner has used those.

I’d avoid pay pal and izettle owned by PayPal. My partner has a training company and some time ago she’d been using them, they had been selling training material and had a large event taking payment through PayPal.
They contacted her and said terms had changed and as they now considered her business high risk they would withhold 30% for 3 months…..The business had run with them for some time with NO issues. They relied on the large regular events for cash flow. Having 30% withheld for no reason and without prior warning was as you can imagine a pain in the arse!
She also discovered others this had happened too, any company that can decide to arbitrarily withhold your money really can’t be relied on!
Whilst obviously sums are different it gives you an idea of customer service
Zettle is a device similar to the one I have.
You cant use a card reader like Zettle on an unmanned stall. Someone has to enter the amount to be charged in the App on the phone.
Unfortunately, in order to use the Paypal QR code - the customer has to have the paypal app on their phone in order to use it ...
I put a Revolut QR code on the sign. In Ireland it's enormously popular so that may not be a good solution for the UK.
Reading around this seems to be the case which is....silly. Whereas sumup takes you to a webpage, but the catch is they don't accept PayPal payments. I guess one could provide two QR codes for PayPal and non-paypal customers. I'm tempted to just provide my PayPal email address so that people could then send the money at home.
