What is the set up cost and contract?
How much does Dines cost?
The Starter Plan - this is where you pay 2.5% + 20p per transaction, with no setup costs and no monthly fee. It's entirely pay-as-you-earn.
After a month of going live with Dines, we can discuss:
The Growth Plan - this is where you are charged a reduced rate of 1.7% + 20p per transaction, and instead, pay a flat monthly fee of £150 on a fixed contract.
How long is the contract?
We work on a 30-day rolling contract, so there is no fixed-term contract to commit to.
If you’d like to cancel, you provide 7 days' notice and you can stop using Dines at any point after then.
What are the Terms & Conditions?
The Terms and Conditions of partnering with Dines are all found on the following webpage, but to summarise for ease:
- There are no fixed contracts, just a rolling 30 day agreement
- There are no set up fees or monthly charges
- We have two pricing plans - one called the Basic Plan where it's entirely pay-as-you-go, and you pay 2.5% + 20p per transaction (nothing more, just that).
- The second is called the Growth Plan, where if your volume is pretty high we move you to that and you only pay 1.7% + 20p per transaction, but there is a monthly charge of £150.
Partner Venue terms of service can be found on www.dines.co.uk/tos.
Are there any card charges on top of the fees?
We use Stripe for card processing, and their fees are included in the 2.5% + 20p that you pay.
So all that you ever pay on anything at all is exactly 2.5% + 20p (plus VAT) on every transaction.
Is it easy to cancel?
Yes, of course, there's no exit fee so you can try Dines, pay the pay-as-you-earn rate, and if it doesn't work just stop using it, no problem.
