Grafterr GO!

What Grafterr GO! is

Grafterr GO! lets small businesses take payments with an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet. The company gives freelancers, tradespeople, dog walkers and hairdressers as examples of likely users. The app supports cash and card payments, chip and PIN, contactless, NFC payments through Google Pay and Apple Pay, and Tap to Pay without a card reader. Sellers can send payment requests by email or SMS, invoice a custom amount or catalog product, and add tips or discounts at checkout. A catalog can hold fixed-price products, and sellers can also charge custom amounts. Reporting features help track best sellers, identify trends and create custom reports. Teams can add members who sell at the same time from different stations. For a stationary setup, the app can connect to a thermal printer and cash drawer. Funds are paid to a nominated bank account by the next working day. The GO! plan has no monthly fees or fixed costs and includes free unlimited support, while transaction fees apply. An optional Bluetooth GO! Reader costs £42, paid once, with free delivery in 2–4 working days and a 14 day money back guarantee. Grafterr says it covers PCI compliance for GO!. The company is a trademark of iHybrid Ltd., a UK-registered company with premises in Croydon.

Who it suits

Grafterr GO! suits small businesses and independent sellers who want to take payments on an Android or iOS phone or tablet. Its payment requests, product catalog, reports and simultaneous team selling may also suit sellers who need invoicing, checkout options or multiple selling stations.

Verdict

Choose Grafterr GO! if you want to take payments from a phone or tablet, including Tap to Pay without a reader, and value next-working-day payouts.
