Who this is for

Two ways in, one simple next step

However you take payment today, it starts the same way — a free, no-obligation quote. No comparison needed if you're starting from scratch, and a proper like-for-like comparison if you're not.

Not taking cards yet

Get set up properly

Still cash or bank-transfer only? You're not alone — it's a huge chunk of tradespeople and small local businesses. There's nothing to compare against here, so it's a straightforward "get set up" pitch: free machine for the first year, no monthly fee, no contract, and it works anywhere with the free 4G SIM.

See what you could save

Already with SumUp, Square or another provider? This is a savings pitch, not a "getting started" one — so I'll need your current rate and provider first. Tell me what you're paying now, and I'll show you exactly what you'd pay with JW instead — a free, no-obligation comparison, not a guess.

The offer

Straightforward, and that's it

No headline rate to lead with — that's deliberate, not a compromise. A low teaser rate rarely reflects what you'd actually pay once your real card mix is factored in, so instead you get an honest quote and an offer that's easy to say yes to.

The device

Your card machine, free for the first year — no device cost for 12 months. The transaction rate still applies from day one, and it's always confirmed upfront in your quote.

  • First year free — the machine itself, not the rate
  • Free 4G SIM included, so it works without WiFi
  • Free setup help, from me personally

No monthly fee, no contract

The two things that usually make small businesses hesitate about getting a card machine at all — removed completely.

  • No monthly fees, ever
  • No contract — leave whenever you like
  • No hidden charges

Paid, the next day

Money in your account the next day, every day — including weekends and bank holidays. However your customers pay, it's covered.

  • Next-day payouts, every day, no exceptions
  • Visa, Mastercard, Amex, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay
  • Payment links available too, for anyone who invoices
How it works

Simple, in three steps

01

Tell me about your business

A quick chat about how you take payment now — or that you don't yet. If you're already with another provider, I'll ask for your current rate too.

02

Get your free quote

See exactly what you'd pay — or, if you're switching, a straight comparison against what you're paying now. No obligation either way.

03

Get set up

Happy to go ahead? I'll get everything set up personally — no contract to sign, and no pressure if you'd rather not.

What makes it different

No hard sell, no rate war

01

A real person, not a portal

I handle setup personally, same as everything else under the JW name. No call centre, no self-signup portal to figure out on your own.

02

No contract, no monthly fee

The two things that usually make small businesses hesitate about a card machine at all, removed completely.

03

Honest about pricing

No rate that won't apply to most people. The free quote does the work a flashy headline number would otherwise do, without the risk of overpromising.

04

Already part of the JW family

If you're already a JW Business Websites customer, this is one more thing sorted by someone you already trust.

Who's setting it up

Just me — Jake

"I got tired of watching small businesses get talked into card machine contracts they didn't really understand — so I built a simpler way to get set up."

I'm Jake — I also run JW Business Websites and the wider JW family of services for small businesses and tradespeople. Card machines are the newest of those, sorted personally, the same way as everything else I do.

There's no call centre and no sales script. When you get in touch, you're talking to the person who'll actually get your machine set up — and who you can still call once it's running. Straightforward, honest, done properly.

Questions

Good to know

Still deciding?

Here are the questions I get asked most. If yours isn't here, just ask directly — I'll get back to you the same day, usually.

Want a straight answer about your specific business?

Get in touch

No. There's no contract and no monthly fee — you can stop using the machine whenever you like, with nothing to sign and nothing to get out of.

That's exactly what the free quote is for. Rather than quote a low headline rate that might not apply to your business, I'll work out what you'd actually pay based on your real card mix and transaction pattern — an honest number, not a teaser.

Often, yes — but it depends what you're paying now. Tell me your current provider and rate and I'll put together a free comparison, so you can see exactly what you'd save before deciding anything.

No — a free 4G SIM is included, so it works anywhere you've got signal: on-site, in a van, at a market stall, wherever you take payment.

Next-day payouts, every day — including weekends and bank holidays.

Visa, Mastercard, Amex, contactless, chip & PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Payment links are also available if you invoice rather than take payment face to face.

Me, personally — Jake. No call centre, no self-signup portal. I'll help get everything set up and I'm still there afterwards if you need anything.

No — it works for hairdressers, barbers, beauticians, plumbers, electricians, builders and sole traders generally: anyone taking payment from a customer in person or by invoice.
