Credit Card Payments

[Shallowhal]

Thought punter could process their credit card without having a mytaxi account.
Driver would ask for their mobile number and then send a link on to them.
They then would enter their details.
Looks like that feature is gone now.

Would ye or could ye be arsed Jack....and then they're Mytaxi customers from then on!!

You can’t process credit card payments with mytaxi.

I understand that but if you picked up a street hail who were already registered with Mytaxi and you agreed to let them use the Pay with Mytaxi option,then that fare was commission free...i think we've covered all the options available that Ken might have asked....but i think it's clear that from the 13th if you accept an in car payment...you'll be paying the commission on it.

So, to ask the same question again;
Can you process a Street non-Mytaxi CC job through
Mytaxi fer no commission fees from 13th Jan on ?

[Vikkiz]

We'll have to wait and see. Usually they charge the customer 50 cent. Time will tell what happens

[Rat Catcher]

Presumably they won't be allowed to charge the "convenience fee". I guess they could collect that from the driver.

Ye can't process a street non Mytaxi CC job through Mytaxi at all...so i presume you won't be able to do it from the 13th either.
Mytaxi were giving out the SumUp terminals during the summer for €69(i think) and you could process street hails for zero commission, i wonder if they'll continue to absorb the cost.

They might...for a while. With so many apps coming on stream it'd be churlish to piss in the cream so soon.

Keep doing so until it's obsolete, Tony. Think I mentioned before that I found it very hard to pay cash for L'Essence(Petrol) in Brittany a couple of yrs ago, and Sweden and other Nordic states won't take cash at all in some parts.

So officially now the driver must absorb any costs to accepting credit card payments, however some dispatchers have advised their drivers to continue charging their customers up to 5% surcharge, they are using the line ... “until the NTA advise is otherwise “. As this is a  directive to break EU law it could have serious implications for any driver that gets complained.
