Card payments for Castleton and the Hope Valley, built for the busy season.

Castleton is famous for Blue John stone, and visitors come from all over to see it. We look after gift and jewellery shops, show cave attractions and outdoor shops in the village, so they can take every payment on the busiest summer day.

Who we work with in Castleton & Hope Valley

Trade in the Hope Valley is different from a town centre. Quiet weekdays in winter, then coach trips, school holidays and bank holiday weekends where queues build fast and visitors pay with cards and phones from all over the world.

Gift and jewellery shops

Shops selling Blue John stone, jewellery and gifts, often with more than one till so the queue keeps moving when the village is full.

Show caves and attractions

Ticket desks, gift shops and kiosks at visitor attractions, plus online payments for advance bookings.

Ice cream kiosks and cafés

A second machine for the ice cream counter or café window, so a busy day doesn’t mean lost sales.

Outdoor and walking shops

Outdoor shops kitting out walkers and climbers, with quick contactless for small purchases and card for the bigger ones.

Online shops

Payments for your website, so visitors can buy again from home after their trip.

Tearooms, pubs and B&Bs

We also set up tearooms, pubs and guest houses, including deposits by payment link for bookings.
