Questions
Before you switch.
How much does TapIt cost?
You pay one flat rate on every card transaction and a fixed monthly rental for each card machine, with no setup fee. Your rate depends on your type of business and how much you take by card, and we confirm it in writing before you sign anything.
How quickly can I start taking payments?
Most businesses are live within 3 working days of approval. We'll give you a firm date when you apply.
Do I need to cancel my current provider first?
No. Keep your current machine running until your TapIt terminal is live. Check your existing agreement for a notice period or exit fee before you give notice, and we'll help you read it.
When does the money reach my bank?
Card takings are paid into your business bank account the next working day. Weekend takings arrive on the next working day after the weekend.
Which cards and wallets can I accept?
Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards, by contactless or Chip and PIN, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.
Am I tied into a long contract?
No. TapIt runs on a rolling monthly agreement, so you stay because it works for you.
What is PCI compliance and do I need it?
PCI DSS is the card industry's security standard, and every business that takes card payments has to meet it. We'll walk you through the short annual questionnaire at no extra charge.
