My wife is wanting to sort some form of card payment system out for her business.
She runs a behaviour and chiropractic service for dogs and horses, currently using either bacs, cash or cheque's.

We have been looking at izettle, sumup and Square anyone use these or is there something better?

Cheers
 
Sumup seems to be the favoured one based on small bars/foodtrucks that i've seen.

I imagine they're all much of a muchness and the fees seem reasonable.
 
Zettle got bought out by PayPal, I've used PayPal and square in the past. Personally I prefer the all in one pad with a screen which zettle offers over the contactless pad you get with square, but really it's best to go with whichever integrates best with your accounting software to streamline billing and payments. With these systems you can add product and services to your phone then itemise the invoices direct so it's more than just taking payments.
 
IZettle. Links to my Starling business account and QuickBooks for instant accounting. App on your phone and small card reader. Works perfectly for me.
 
We use Zettle for face to face transactions, fees are pretty reasonable, especially compared to Stripe that we use via the web site!
 
Are they all much of a muchness on rates these days? When I was last in the industry none of these solutions were really at maturity so the big boys still dominated except in some niche cases.

If you are doing less than £1500 to maybe £2000 a month these sort of readers are, yeah.

Beyond that they get expensive & you'd be best with a merchant account.
