Handy, missed it when I dropped CabApp
Dear ,
Have you spotted our latest feature in the SumUp App?
You’ve just been given access to Mobile Payments at a 2.75% fee per transaction. You can now generate a payment link, send it to your customer and get paid remotely.
Here’s how to use it:
Step 1
Log in to your SumUp App or download it for either iOS or Android.
Step 2
After entering an amount, select “Mobile Payments” as your payment method.
Step 3
Share the link with your customer via WhatsApp, Facebook, Email or SMS and track all your transactions in your “Sales History.”

I emailed Sumup because they said they were reverting to 2.75% after a free period when I was only paying 1.89%.
It's only 1.69% in the UK.
-
What do you wantwith all this bolloxoligy when the customer can just hand you a tenner ,or whatever for the fare

Currently I send a Paypal money request to folk who want to prepay for their taxi journey, charges are 30c plus 2.9% for local transactions and 4.4% for international ones

Yous,and the fukin dispatchers are complicating a simple business totally unnecessarily.look at Kearns huge investment in technology ,and for what ? How much technology does a person need to open their front door,and hail a taxi
-
I did get the mail telling me they were upping their commission from 1.95% to 2.75% in the middle of this pandemic.

Hmmm...Try Revolut also it's free.Lots of the foreigners love it.

Revolut is brilliant, we use it in the family to spread money around, never even think to ask passengers

It tends to be parents paying for their kids, or businesses paying up front for clients, Happens more often than you'd think
-
Well hopefully the covid will put the xunts out of business then you will all see they were never needed in the first place.you'll see there will be just as much work out there without these fukun leeches
-
Dalymount ..What do you not understand about the current /modern Taxi business.People want to use an app or pay by card.If it does not suit you then get out of the game.When the economy starts to restart how many people will be paying by cash?How many people will walk from the back end of Clarehall or similar in pissing rain to hail a Taxi on the main road?
Get real or get out of the business and live on your pension.
-
Thats your view,and your entitled to it.all im saying is,I hope the virus does enough damage to these cunts to put some of them out of business.at least them it would be a level playing field for independents

Well yis bring rhese problems on yisser selfs by trying to complicate a simple business
-
So Big Dommo called over this morning to borrow a cup of sugar .He was asking if I had Fleas .I said No he then asked if I had worms ,I said no he asked if I had any parasites I said loads .When I go to work somebody wants 15% of my earnings If I take payment on a card they want as much as 2.9% of my earnings If I take Revolute or some other card they want a % of my earnings Its worse than the Ballynumty Massive taxing local dealers for working their patch .
I dont know if anybody cares but we are all being tracked by our phones and walletts .They know where you were and where you are they know what you bought .Orwell would be Proud .
Now they want us to register on an app if we were dizzeezzzzzed ?
-

are you able to take card in your taxi DM?
-
And inspite of what you said Johnny,men are queuing up to give dispatchers a slice of their earnings.I dont know what next
-
No billy,but there would be no big deal about getting one of these machines if it ever becomes compulsory to take payment that way.you dont need a dispatcher to do that for you
-
I love using cash but since the lockdown I've only had to use it once in one particular takeaway.Honestly it just felt weird holding the change thinking it might be diseased now that many of us have been brainwashed.
When we eventually go back to work it's gonna be even rarer to get a bit of cash.I think most pubs will go cashless to protect their staff.

The amount lost in tips by most of yis must be huge.I only deal in cash,so it doesnt effect me.

one of the old timers... I know we'll that you don't have to be with a dispatcher to be able to take card. The fact that you don't take card in this day and age just shows you are stuck in the stone ages and why anyone would listen to the shite you put up in beyond me. GIVE THE GAME UP AND RETIRE... Its past you bye.....

I honestly think that people stopped getting into a taxi long ago if that taxi didn't take card. Sure that's why hailo got so big. The customer new that the driver would definitely take card. But your right, it will be mostly card when we get back to out there.
-
The only reason drivers have to take card now is,your dispatchers friends introduced it,and the NTA will enforce it,and why ? Because you agreed to it,so put that in your pipe and smoke it billy bollox

jasus sorry for agreeing (or giving) the taxi customers what they want. I'd say if you had a clothes shop you would still be selling clothes that were in fashion in the 70s, and wondering why nobody is in the shop.

You'd be busier with a company and the 2 euro call-out covers the freight.
-
Thats when they decide you can CHARGE it,sometimes they withdraw it,to generate bysiness, or worse still offer 50% doscount AT YOUR EXPENSE

you must be making sweet fa if you are relying on tips... You should like you live in America,which by the way taxi drivers have been taking card for at least the last 10 years.

I dont ha e to make that much to survive.I dont sell my sole to the divil dospatchers,nor agree to their discounts,nor allow myself to be treated like one of their lap dogs,etc etc
-
There's only one despatcher stroking us, and it's not in his lap. The trad despatchers who provided real customer service, and huge employment are f####d, because we drivers sold out to the British, and now German, despatchers, who are raping us for up to 3 times as much money as the trads for the same work. As yet, as they have declared in the UK, they are only half way up with the stroke.
-
Some of your beloved trad dispatchers would be more appropriately featured on the front pages of the sunday world,then posing as respectable businessmen
-
When you said they provided huge employment,is this an admission that you accept that they DID believe. you were their employee,or was it the case that tou were si brainwashed by these cunts that YOU actually believed you were their employee ?
-
A question for dalymount... When you started driving a taxi, were there taxi dispatch company's in operation or are you driving a taxi long before they started up?
-

No, they needed many people to answer the telephones to the people who needed a taxi at their home, work, place of entertainment, hospital, brothel, Garda station, etc. They also employed staff to handle client, and driver accounts, kitchen staff, cleaners, sales staff, etc.
-
Oh hoe they have progressed since then.they even have the DRIVERS as their employees now,well at least that what they believe,and who could blame them for thinking that when you have men prepared to be told what to wear,what to charge,allow themselves to be disiplined,,awarded gold stars In. Their copy books ,allow themselves to be graded,ot
R degraded depending on how you look at it,,etc the list goes on
-
Nothing to do with love of anyone, but my own financial bottom line, which was a lot better when the trads had the amount of work that I need.
-
And Im sorry for you Bob that you dont have the amount of work you require now,but im heartened by the fact that they dont have it either
