Florists have a unique payment mix - in-shop purchases, phone orders for delivery, and sometimes card payments on the doorstep. The right terminal setup handles all of these without overcomplicating things.
A countertop terminal at the counter handles walk-in customers with fast contactless processing. Reliable, wired, and ready all day.
If you take card payments on delivery, a portable terminal with 4G connectivity goes with your driver. One account, two terminals - counter and delivery covered.
For phone orders, many of the terminals we supply can process card-not-present transactions, so you can take payment over the phone without a separate online payment system.
Florists know all about seasonal peaks - Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Christmas. During these periods, speed and reliability matter most. We make sure your payment setup handles the volume.
Yes. Over-the-phone (MOTO) payments are built into the terminals we supply. A customer calling to order a £40 bouquet for delivery can pay by card over the phone. Paid before you arrange the flowers, no invoicing needed. This is essential for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and funeral orders.
Yes. You can process any amount through the terminal - there's no upper limit on card payments for a standard merchant account. For advance orders, you can take a deposit when the customer places the order and the balance on collection. Over-the-phone payments are also available for orders placed by phone.
Yes. The terminals are built for sustained high-volume use. On your busiest days, you'll be processing a transaction every minute for hours - the terminal handles it without any slowdown. If you need two terminals for peak days (shop floor plus delivery prep), we can set up both on the same account.
Yes. Process whatever deposit you agree — 30%, 50%, a fixed amount. When the final balance is due, process the remaining amount as a separate transaction. Over-the-phone deposits work for bookings confirmed by phone. Most florists take a deposit at consultation and the balance before the wedding.
It really does depend on how your business operates - there's no one 'best solution' for all, as a Fine Dining restaurant in Covent Garden has completely different operational requirements to a Market Trader in Glasgow's bustling Barras, or a Cardiff Arms Park pub. We make the effort to truly understand how your business actually operates - before recommending the best solution from a range of providers, not just one.
It varies by provider and model. With some providers, your first card machine comes with no upfront cost, no monthly rental, and no per-transaction fees - so your only cost is the processing rate on each sale you make. Additional terminals - or those from other providers - may well carry rental or per-transaction fees. The exact cost depends on your terminal type, provider, and monthly card turnover. Because uno works across multiple providers, we compare the real-world, overall costs and then find the most competitive deal for your specific situation.
We know for many UK independent buinesses cashflow is a daily struggle. We can offer various options, with settlement times ranging from just a few hours, to the full three days it takes providers to actually receive your customers money. Whatever your working requirements are, we'll find the ideal solution to match those needs.
Yes. Every payment terminal we recommend accepts contactless payments, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and standard contactless cards. Contactless is now the default way most customers pay in the UK.
For most merchant-types this will be offered as a default payment option, available on-screen along with contactless and Chip'n'Pin. There are a small number of exceptional businesess operational-types where this is not the case - but for most, 'over-the-phone' payments will be offered as standard.
Any terminal uno suggests would allow you to easily identify the original transaction. If still within the same day as the sale, then the transaction could then be 'voided'(aka 'reversed'). Voids/Reverses are typically instantaneous. However, if that trading day's 'banking window' had closed (typically at Midnight) then it would technically be classed as a 'refund' - which would be subject to the bank's standard 3-5 processing timeframe to complete.
The great news for you is none of the providers uno works with have complicated anything! For those that require PCI of any sort atall, it really is a simple, painless process that just takes a few minutes per year!
Not with every provider. Several of the solutions we offer have no long-term contract - you can switch or cancel without penalty. We'll always be upfront about contract terms before suggesting you commit to anything.
Most businesses are up and running within a few days. We handle the supply, installation, and configuration so you can focus on serving your customers. We walk you through everything on-site - so you're confident from day one.
Going direct means you only see a single provider's products, at a single provider's prices. Because uno works across multiple providers, we can genuinely compare options and recommend the solution that suits your business - not just the only one we happen to sell! You also get a dedicated point of contact for ongoing support.
We make the effort to your business, understand how you take payments, and recommend the solution that genuinely fits - not the one with the biggest commission.
