• Accepting card payments really demonstrates that you care about the needs of the customer
It is now an expectation of many that a business will take card payments – particularly the younger generation, who expect to be able to make card transactions. By not having this in place, you could seriously be missing a trick. According to a recent study by Barclaycard, one in six customers will simply walk away from making a purchase if their cards are not accepted. This means you could end up losing a lot of money by not using any kind of system that enables card payments.
• Access to more customers?
Taking card payments will give you access to a wider pool of customers which you wouldn’t have had previously because it will be easier for you to make sales quickly and because more and more consumers no longer choose to carry cash. This in turn will make your business look more professional.
• Less reliance on cash
Less cash = Less security concerns.
• Greater online possibilities
Another huge benefit of taking card payments is the possibilities it presents in terms of your online presence. It’s not just at your till where you can accept card payments: if you have a website, or you utilise any of the online delivery apps you can also take card payments through this as well.
Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat are proving very beneficial to an increasing number of our customers businesses. We are also hearing the positive benefits of customers offering a ‘Click & Collect’ service which allows customers to order via the web and then collect their meals with no wait time.
• It could set you apart or keep you up with your competition
If none of your competition are currently using this method, you will have something which will make you stand out.
It might just be the factor that lets you ‘pull ahead’ of your competition. On the flip side, your business might be struggling, with most of your competitors accepting card payments. You would probably have to follow suit in order to keep up.
More and more of our customers are reporting the positive benefits to their businesses of accepting card payments!
