Mobile card machines for tradespeople

Get paid on the job, before you leave, instead of chasing invoices. A mobile card machine with its own 4G connection that works wherever you do.

What tradespeople need

Get paid on the spot

Plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners and mobile services all have the same problem: waiting to be paid. Taking card on the job fixes it.

Works on site

A built-in 4G SIM means you can take payment at the customer's door, with no Wi-Fi needed.

Deposits and invoices by link

Send a secure payment link by text or email for deposits up front or the final balance.

Next-day settlement

The money's in your bank the next working day, so you can buy materials for the next job.

FAQ

Card machine questions from tradespeople

Straight answers before you switch.

Talk to our team
Do I need Wi-Fi to take card payments on site?

No. The PAX A920 Pro has its own 4G SIM, so it works anywhere with mobile signal and switches to Wi-Fi when it's available.

Can I take a deposit before starting a job?

Yes. Send the customer a secure payment link by text or email, or take the payment over the phone.

Is a card machine better than a small card reader for trades?

If you take card payments regularly, a card machine with personalised rates often works out better than a card reader's flat rate, and it doesn't rely on your phone. Our card machine vs card reader guide explains the difference.

Can I switch if I'm still in a contract?

Often, yes. Send us your statement and we'll look into it. In some cases, subject to approval, we can help with the exit fee.
