is it possible to buy a pdq machine or are they only supplied by barclaycard merchant services??
Posted on September 24th, 2009 by admin
You are able to buy a PDQ but the merchants that operate the card transations make it very difficult to get them programmed for your merchant number and phone number that the pdq dials. I personally brought two from viking, the stationary suppliers, but my merchant services would not programme them to work on their system. i gave up in the end and rented from them, installed and working within 48 hours. They have a monopoly on the pdq’s. The only benefit to renting is that you will get the support you need if they go wrong, although i have never had one go wrong in 12 years. If you are unable to agree a good rental deal with barclays then try another provider, all the banks offer this not just barclays.

if it’s because you want to take payments from customers by card have you considered schemes such as worldpay or paypal?
i know that with worldpay you can take card payments by phone and post etc as well as online – all you need is the customers card details and you can enter the details through a secure online system to process the payment.
have a look at their sites, they may be an option for you
