Accepting credit card processing and having a PDQ machine will allow small business owners to catch the attention of potential customers. Having a PDQ machine will allow credit card processing face-to-face and via mail order and telephone order. Card processing fees and other transaction costs may be off-putting to some small business owners especially with the other available options.
Simple – Most merchant accounts should come with simple transparent pricing detailing what you will pay for your authorisation fee. Some suppliers and merchant acquirers will offer a standard transaction fee which will be outlined at the time of setting up your account, but most commonly it will be impacted on the type of card the customer is using.
Authorisation fees will differ depending on who the business opts to go with for their merchant facilities, but some providers will offer reduced transaction fees but higher rates in other aspects, so it is advisable to look at the contract as a whole rather than being drawn in by one aspect.

Merchant acquirers charge business owners a transaction fee everytime they process a debit and credit card payment through a PDQ machine. The fees are usually outlined at the time of signing up to the merchant processing service agreement. Transaction fees can vary depending on the type of business you are and the charges between debit and credit will vary.
It is also worth noting that businesses may be charged a one-off start-up fee when they open a new merchant account.
A Personal Identification Number more commonly referred to as a PIN number combination known only to the owner of the account, will allow customers to access their personal account information. A PDQ machine will allow a business owner to obtain the vital card data and to transfer this information to the nominated merchant acquirer for authorisation. When a customer pays for goods using a debit or credit card using a PDQ machine and the payment isn’t a contactless transaction, they will need to enter their personal identification number.
