It’s like you are performing a magic trick in front of them, and they marvel at the machine when they use it. With PayPal, the money is in your account within seconds.Īlthough attitudes have improved since 2015, there are still instructors who – for various reasons often associated with avoiding HMRC scrutiny – are against taking card payments, prefer cash, and who then try to justify their position with lies and misinformation based on their own ulterior motives.įor me, being able to take card payments impresses the majority of pupils. All you need to do is buy the card reader outright, download the app, connect the two through Bluetooth, and you’re set to go. ![]() The PayPal Here card reader can carry out transactions via contactless, PIN, and swipe (though swipe is not necessary in the UK). The other problem with cheques is that I have to go to the bank to gain credit from them – which is also true of cash if I accrue too much – or I have to piss around with photographs and smartphone apps, which I also don’t want to do. These days, the only real reason for anyone to want to use a cheque is to defer payment, and I don’t play that game anymore (it’s too risky). That means I get paid immediately, and there’s no risk of a bouncing piece of paper. I do not take cheques, and haven’t done since 2015 – if someone can write a cheque, they have a bank card I can read in the car. The rest still use cash – and very occasionally, someone will hand over up to £700 in notes to pay for a block of lessons). As time has gone by, the number of people paying me by card has increased dramatically, and right now well over 90% of pupils pay that way. Since 2015, I have taken close to £80,000 in card payments through PayPal Here (it’d be closer to £100,000 if not for COVID). Note that the following article is specifically aimed at card readers per se, and not with the issues I experienced with iZettle when it was an independent company. I still strongly recommend not touching iZettle/Zettle if you can avoid it. I have now (March 2023) switched to SumUp, and so the following article should be considered void, as you cannot get PayPal Here anymore. I would not touch iZettle again if you paid me. They also stopped taking on new ‘Here’ customers.Īs of 2023, I got a missed phone call from PayPal in early March warning me PayPal Here readers would stop working at the start of April and to get a ‘Zettle’ (the new name) card reader. The situation as of 2021 in the UK was that PayPal directed you straight to iZettle readers if you wanted to buy a new machine. Prior to PayPal Here, I had used iZettle, but I had an extremely (and I mean EXTREMELY) unfortunate experience with them – and one which has become more significant to me as of 2023.

On the more formal side, as with embossed foil wedding invitations, you could add classic wedding invitation wording such as, “The honor of your presence is requested at the marriage of” or “You are cordially invited to celebrate the marriage of,” or “We invite you to share in our joy and request your presence at the wedding of”.

As for Batman and Catwoman having a daughter - it began in The Flash #123 (1961), with the Golden-Age Bat-Man and Catwoman getting married in Brave and the Bold #197 (1983), and Helena Wayne becoming the Huntress in All-Star Comics #69 (1977).
