Avoid minimum monthly charges
Minimum monthly service charges are brutal for seasonal traders — you pay them in the closed months too. Negotiate them out, or choose a pay-as-you-go model that charges only on transactions.
Short-term terminal hire
Weekly and monthly terminal hire exists for events, festivals and pop-ups. It costs more per week than an annual rental but far less than paying twelve months for three months of trading.
Plan for connectivity
Event sites often have overloaded mobile networks. Multi-network SIM terminals and offline transaction capability, where your acquirer supports it, prevent lost sales at the busiest moment of your year.
