Why bike shops choose uno

Bike shops handle a huge range of transaction values - a £5 inner tube, a £60 service, a £3,000 e-bike. You need competitive rates across the board, especially on the bigger sales where fees really bite.

Rates for high-value sales

Selling a premium bike at £2,000+ means transaction fees are significant. We compare providers to find the best rates for your mix of small accessories and large bike sales.

Counter and workshop

A countertop terminal at the till handles retail sales. If you also take payment in the workshop area, a portable terminal covers that too.

Simple and reliable

You’re bike experts, not payment technology experts. We supply terminals that work every time and don’t need an IT department to maintain.

What you get from uno

  • A terminal matched to your shop’s transaction profile
  • Competitive rates especially on higher-value sales
  • On-site installation and walkthrough
  • Reliable UK-based support

Common questions from bike shop owners

We do repairs as well as sales - can I take payment for both on the same terminal?

Yes. Whether it's a £10 puncture repair, a £150 service, or a £1,500 new bike, the same terminal handles all transactions. One terminal for the shop floor and the workshop, one account, one rate.

General questions about uno
Which card machine is right for my business?

The right card machine depends on how the business trades. A fine-dining restaurant in Covent Garden, a market trader at Glasgow's Barras and a pub beside Cardiff Arms Park take payments in completely different ways, and no single machine suits all three. uno starts by understanding how a business actually operates, and only then recommends - from a range of providers rather than from one.

Do all the card machines uno recommends take contactless?

Yes, every one of them. Apple Pay, Google Pay and contactless cards are accepted as standard on every machine uno recommends; contactless is how most UK customers now pay, and every machine features it as standard.

Will I be able to take 'over-the-phone' payments?

For most merchants, yes - available on-screen along with contactless and Chip & Pin. The small minority of high-risk business-types that are not offered over-the-phone payments by default are the exception - for the vast majority, 'over-the-phone' payments will be offered as standard.

How can we process refunds?

From the card machine, in a few taps. Refund a sale on the same day and it is cancelled outright, with the money never leaving the customer's account; refund it after the provider's daily cut-off and the customer's bank typically takes 3-5 days to return it. Every machine uno recommends handles both, and the difference is only in how quickly the customer sees the money.

Is PCI compliance as much of a chore as it is with my current provider?

With several of the providers uno works with the merchant does nothing at all, because the provider handles PCI on their behalf; with the others it is a few minutes once a year. Nobody uno works with makes it complicated, and uno tells a merchant which they are getting before anything is signed.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most businesses are up and running within a few days. uno handles the installation and configuration, then walks the merchant and their staff through everything.
