Yes, it seems Square is more 'oven-ready' for in-person sales but with associated higher rates.
POS seems possible with Stripe but seems to require some development investment.

Re: Take payment by telephone
We looked at Square and Sumup, and thought Square was a bit better as Sumup didn't do customer not present payments. Since signing up for Square we have had 2 customers in a few months want to pay over the phone, so its not a high number. Total sales are just over £15-00 so small really. Square also came out on top with POS software and equipment needed for a shop all bought as a bundle, and there was no long contracts for the card machine. We had a local shop gave me a demo of what it could do, and it did look good. It can even update stock levels between the online store and the physical shop if setup correctly.heatherbell wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 11:32 am Yes, it seems Square is more 'oven-ready' for in-person sales but with associated higher rates.

Re: Take payment by telephone
I forgot to mention that I did eventually get this to work with help from @zipurman . After a few emails, code was sent that went further than I requested and the system now works. So thanks to the community for the suggestions and to @zipurman for the code. I will be back later for more work when it comes to time to update the website again.
