Choosing a card machine

Can I take card payments at a customer’s home?

Yes, with a suitable device and a usable connection. DOJO Go Max is portable, supports Wi-Fi and 4G and includes a receipt printer. Tap to Pay on iPhone is a phone-based contactless option for eligible existing DOJO customers using a supported iPhone.

Choose around the places you work, the payment methods customers need and how you keep job records. Your invoicing and accounting system remains separate from the card machine unless a specific connection is confirmed.

A scene from your working day

Job done. Take payment on site.

The tools are packed, the amount is agreed and the card machine is ready. No shop counter or EPOS till required.

ON-SITE PAYMENTS

Job complete

Agree the amount with the customer through your normal quote or invoice process. Keep the payment device charged and within reach.

Illustration only. Confirm the device, connection and software requirements for your business.

A question worth checking

Is a card receipt the same as my invoice?

Your card machine records the payment. Keep the quote, invoice and job history in your existing invoicing or accounting system.

Use your normal references to match the payment to the job. If you want software to pass an amount or reconcile a payment automatically, have both suppliers confirm that exact connection. A portable terminal alone does not provide job-management software.

Changing provider

How do I change payment provider between jobs?

Leave time to set up and test before the next customer payment.

Review notice terms, update payment details and check accounting tools. Keep the old service available until you have tested the new device and payment process.

Before you decide

Your questions about payments

Discuss your setup ↗
Can I take card payment at a customer’s home?

A portable machine works where connection is available. Go Max supports Wi-Fi and 4G; check coverage where you work.

Does a card machine create an invoice?

A terminal records payment. Invoices and job records depend on accounting software and supported integration.

Can the terminal work without signal?

Ask the provider what you can do when a connection is poor or unavailable. Follow its confirmed process rather than assuming the terminal can accept an offline payment.

Can I give customers a receipt on site?

Go Max has a built-in receipt printer, so you can give the customer a paper receipt on site. Keep the payment record alongside the correct job and invoice in your usual records.

Can a card machine connect to my accounting software?

Do not assume there is a direct connection. Confirm your specific accounting product and workflow with both suppliers; otherwise match payment records to invoices through your usual process.

How should I secure the device in a van?

Follow provider storage instructions. Include safe charging and device responsibility in your team process.

What should I compare in quotes?

Compare processing, device fees, minimums, support, term and exit costs against expected activity.

Do I need a fixed terminal?

Wired is a fixed countertop terminal that needs mains power. If you take payment at job sites, compare portable machines and phone-based options against the connection and receipt requirements of your work.
