Mike at Vauxhall Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 About a month ago I got a letter from Worldpay, saying more contactless payments will be phoned through. For my sins, Did not really pay much attention to the letter, but did notice this will cost me more. However since I got back from my hols, nearly all contactless payments are being phoned through. This really seems like a big step back, making contactless just like any other card payment. Customers are inconvenienced and transactions taking longer.

grahamparker Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Most of my customers hate contactless, out of every 100 payments i reckon only 1-5 are contactless although we do take a lot of payments for well over the £30 mark.

Michael Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I still get loads refuse to use it, bit like when they changed from signature to chip and pin!! Does seem a big step backwards when contactless payments USP was speed and convenience!! I haven't had one not authorise yet and have to call the customer back, should be fun when it happens!!

carnkev Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 why do customers not like using contactless? So handy, I'm in Ireland and 90% of transaction under 30 euro are done that way keithm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 People stuck in their ways. A lot of the bad press about cards being vulnerable to thieves with special machines, even when I explain that shouldn't stop them from using contactless in a shop as I'm not stealing from them, it's out it public places if anywhere, that they can be exploited, makes no difference!!

Dave the locksmith Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Start selling the little wallets to cover the cards they cost pennies. I sell then at 25p each. Every time a customer goes off on one about how they can be cloned i sell them one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
