Key cutting and locksmith businesses handle a mix of quick counter transactions and higher-value callout work. Your card machine needs to handle both - and for locksmiths, it needs to go where the job is.
The PAX A800 is rental-free for your first machine and processes contactless fast at the counter. Perfect for quick key-cutting transactions.
Locksmiths on callout need payment on-site. The PAX A920 connects over 4G so you can take card payment at the customer’s door - no invoicing, no chasing.
The Solo, bought outright, suits sole-trader locksmiths watching overheads. No monthly fees, just a single rate per transaction.
Contactless payment takes a couple of seconds. The card transaction is literally the fastest part of the entire service. Cut the key, hand it over, customer taps, done.
Yes. A portable terminal with 4G fits in your tool bag. After letting someone into their locked house at 11pm, the last thing you want is to invoice them and chase a bank transfer. Take card payment on the spot, job done.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We make the effort to understand how you operate, and only then recommend the solution that's right for your business - not the provider's.
