I want to switch to Dojo, do you cover cancellation fees from my old provider?

Yes, if you choose to switch to us, we'll pay up to £3,000 towards your cancellation fees. Note: If you’re on our fixed rate price plan of 1.4% you could claim up to £500. If you have bespoke rates, you could claim up to £3,000.

What are card processing fees?

Your card processing fees are the money that you pay for each debit or credit card transaction. Your fees will be tailored to your business. Contact us for your personal quote.

How much does it cost to accept card payments?

The total price you pay for your Dojo services is made up of three components.

  1. Transaction fees and charges - the percentage you pay for each transaction plus the transaction fee. These vary based on the type of card used and how you took the payment.

Transaction fees

Secure transaction fee* - £0.05 per authorisation.

Refund Fee - £0.5 per transaction.

  1. Card machine services - this is the monthly price you pay for your Dojo card machine and card machine add-ons.
  2. Account services and extras - these are for services and optional extras that your business needs.

* referred to as Authorisation fee in Terms and Fees Schedule.

How are my rates calculated?

For each transaction, you'll pay a small percentage for card processing. These rates vary depending on the card type and how you processed the transaction, whether that's through your Dojo card machine or another payment method such as payment links or online checkout.

We'll work out the best rates to suit your business – contact us for your personal quote.

How long is my contract?

The length of your contract depends on your annual turnover. We offer a monthly rolling contract for businesses earning £150,000+ per year. For businesses earning under £150,000 per year, our contracts are 6 months and then flip to monthly rolling. Switch to us from another provider and we could pay your cancellation fees up to £3,000.

Are my card machines secure?

Very. All Dojo card machines are PCI compliant thanks to point-to-point encryption.

What is point-to-point encryption?

Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) protects account data from the point where a merchant accepts the payment card, to the secure point of decryption. As a result it simplifies PCI compliance significantly.

Am I PCI compliant?

Using the Dojo app, read through the P2PE Instruction Manual and Data Security Policy carefully – and make sure you understand all the details.

If you’re happy your business complies with everything that’s outlined, tap ‘Confirm compliance’ – then just tick both statements and you’ll be ready to start trading securely.
