So, after weeks (maybe months!!) of my partner telling me I should do it, I finally looked into how to take card payments for your treatments.
I was a bit concerned about the cost of taking cards as I didn't want it to impact on the cost of my services to my customers - as a small business it's really important to keep my prices as low as possible in order to keep my prices competitive. And if I'm honest I expected that taking card payments would be really expensive and make it a no go, which is why I've always just offered cash payment or bank transfer.
But...
After doing a bit of research on the wonderful world wide web (and yes, mainly to prove my partner wrong and show him that it would be too expensive and I was right and he was wrong...we're not at all competitive I promise!!) I discovered the magic of modern mobile card readers.
And so I am pleased to announce that I have brought myself firmly into the 21st century and now offer payment by card >insert round of applause here<.
