Mercury taxi booking software lets you take credit card payments easily

As a traditionally cash business, the thought of taking credit card payments can seem somewhat daunting to you as a business owner and your drivers as well.  There will of course always be reasons to not take card payments from your customers – but by not taking these types of payments you could be restricting your business, losing your competitive advantage and eventually your customers.  We’ve put together a list of reasons why Mercury taxi booking software customers should start taking card payments:
