Mobile gardeners, landscape contractors, garden designers. Job-by-job payment, sometimes weeks after completion. Materials often invoiced separately.

Our pick

Tap to Pay on iPhone

Acquirer: SumUp

Why this trade matters

Average transaction: £40 to £400+
Contactless share: ~50%

Watch outs

Seasonal volume gaps make subscription-fee acquirers uncompetitive.

Take your trade. We do the rest.

Named UK account team for the life of the agreement. Acquirer pays our commission on completed introductions, so it costs you nothing on top.

24/7 dedicated support
Direct line to a named UK account manager, not a generic acquirer helpline. When your terminal goes down on a Saturday night you call us.
Quarterly rate reviews
As your card volume grows your rate should drop. We renegotiate against the 80+ UK acquirer panel every quarter, so you never overpay because you forgot to ask.
Chargeback and dispute help
UK chargebacks cost £15 to £35 per case and 60-80% are friendly fraud you can win with the right evidence. We draft the response and escalate where the acquirer drags its feet.
Switching support when you outgrow
If a better acquirer fit emerges as you grow we manage the cutover. No exit-fee surprises, no dual-running gap. Same account team across acquirers.
