    Hello,

    I've been running a business where i met customers face-to-face.
    I don't have any way of charging my service than cash, or, paypal online (if paid earlier).

    I see there are several credit card readers for mobile phones, but only available to US customers:

    1) https://squareup.com/
    2) https://www.moblized.com/
    And even paypal has one also
    3) https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader

    But, none of those are available for European Countries.

    Where can i find something like this for European business?

    many Thanks !!

    There's some companies working on them, but I don't think any are in use yet. Maybe UK, but not the rest of Europe from what I have read. I think they are going to have a big problem with EMV since there's no realistic way to get a phone based swiper EMV certified and many issuing banks require it for swiped transactions.
