FACTCHECK
I've done a lot of this in the last few years as all of my customers' sites use ecommerce of one sort or another.
The most popular for small businesses is Square who charge 1.5% per transaction.
Stripe charges 20p + 1.0% which is bad news if you are selling newspapers (for example)
For Point Of Sale (POS) applications like a bike show or a market stall, Zettle is the most common. Owned by PayPal and charges 1.75% per transaction.
The vendor pays this, not the customer. If you sell something for £10 only £9.83 is sent to your bank.
Plus of course you have to buy the terminal (card reader) from them at anywhere from £30 to £300 for the iPad version that does stock control as well.
It is the vendor's choice to accept wireless or mobile payments.
