Interesting but they'll have to bring the initial cost down to compete with others already on the market.

If it can take Visa payments in a normal fashion unlike iZettle then we're in

Im guessing the money would go to your paypal account and not bank account?

I have been registered for the info on this one for ages.. as like Pisquee had heard about the others including iZettle having such a pa-lava with taking Visa card payments.. due to Visa and their security..

I am hoping that Paypal not only will be able over come this before release.. but also because of the name, more people are willing to use it :)

Edited to add.. it will be chip and pin which should therefore allow them to take Visa the same way as everything else :)

I was with iZettle before and have also registered my interest for this Paypal card reader but I am actually currently using Intuit Pay which is the company that owns Quickbooks and they sent me out a free chip and pin reader which connects to my ipad via bluetooth and has been very handy as I can now advertise with confidence that I accept all major cards. Its also the same percentage as izettle at 2.75%. I would have stuck with izettle but they wanted £60 for their new chip and pin reader!

Hope this helps someone.

I have been waiting for this for ages.. due to the fact it will be a chip and pin machine and the name, I am hoping more people will be trusting of it and also that because it doesn't require the extra Visa steps it will be more beneficial..

I just wonder what the initial payment will be hmmmm

Windows phone user so no help for me. Intuit pay has no monthly fee. Used to use paypal but had terrible problems this month after 4 years of using them. Business account now closed so transferred my credit card processing to intuit. Have to wait 5 days for bank transfer but at least I get my money. Their free card reader looks cool.

Not sure I would want to wait 5 days for my money..

Just to make you aware too that the reader isn't free with Intuit.. it's currently down from £99 to £29

the % will depend on your discount depending on volume i guess, i get a better deal with than that

also for my average transaction this works out the same/less than the cost of having a merchant bank, a card processor and the rent of a card machine

again this will be different for everyone but it looks good for me

We use a worldpay mobile chip and pin terminal for shows, when we signed up it was in testing and was free, not it seems to be £59 but its a very acomplished solution with a proper professional look unlike some out there. https://mobile.worldpay.com/

never knew that existed, looks good, there is even better rates if your sign up on a monthly contract

I heard the fees are going to be a little lower then normal fees. I read into it a while ago before anything was confirmed so it might be speculation.

Do we have a release date yet?

Yeah its a bit of a lottery with Intuit I think at the moment! Makes me happier that I have my reader already!

Sounds like a good idea, but Paypal charges are quite high aren't they?
