Best card machine for florists

High-street florists, online florists, event-led floristry. Order-taking by phone and online plus in-shop purchases.

Our pick

Square Terminal

Acquirer: Square

Square's card-not-present plus card-present flow on one acquirer suits florists who take phone orders alongside in-shop purchases. Stock-management integration also strong.

Why this trade matters

Cashflow shape: Strong seasonal peaks (Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas). Otherwise steady weekly cycle.
Average transaction: £25 to £150
Contactless share: ~60%

Watch outs

Card-not-present chargeback rate higher than card-present; phone orders need verbal confirmation captured.
Wedding-event payments often staged across booking and delivery.

Alternatives

SumUp Solo (small / mobile)
Stripe (online-led florists with website)

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.
