Shopify launches card reader and POS app in the UK
Tuesday, 3/31/2015, 03:34 AM
Shopify has launched its Shopify POS app and card reader for
merchants in the United Kingdom. With the reader, retailers can accept
contactless and traditional card-based payments, while the app works
together with the reader device on an iPhone or iPad.
By using the combination of Shopify’s app and reader, sellers in the
United Kingdom can now accept several payment options not only in
stores, but also at festivals, in pop-up shops or at the customer’s
door. And if an retailer has an online store powered by Shopify, they
can also tie the in-store shopping experience to the ecommerce website.
Costs of Shopify’s reader and app
Retailers who want to accept payments with Shopify need to pay £59 (€69) for the card reader,
which also supports Android Pay and Apple Pay. This device is currently
on pre-order, but there’s also a discount of £20 for a limited time.
The app can be downloaded for free and uses credit card rates that start at 1.6 percent with no per purchase fee.
