Taking card payments in Dover
Dover combines a busy commercial port with a vibrant heritage economy. Travellers heading to the ferry terminal, visitors exploring Dover Castle and the White Cliffs, and local residents all frequent the shopping streets around Biggin Street, Cannon Street, and Market Square. Retail and dining trade also flourishes across the revamped beachfront, the marina, and St James' Retail and Leisure Park. For hospitality venues and independent shops serving both residents and travellers on tight schedules, transactions must be handled swiftly to prevent queues building up.
Business Genie Payments provides Dover businesses with reliable card processing through modern Teya hardware. Teya Pro is built for quick contactless, chip & PIN and mobile wallet payments. If Wi-Fi drops, Teya Pro can switch to 4G, although mobile coverage depends on your location. Payments arrive promptly with Instant Settlements into the Teya Business Account, maintaining steady cash flow every day.
