PS you can also order a snazzy purple case or handy stand for your reader here.

How much does it cost?

You can order your first Lopay card reader in the app for $24 plus P+P.

Once you’ve got your reader there are no monthly costs, just our transaction fees which you can find on our pricing page.

How do I get set up?
