Best card machine for Jewellers
Independent jewellers, repairs and bespoke. Higher-value transactions, deposit-on-bespoke common, insurance-card scrutiny.
Our pick
Dojo Go
Acquirer: Dojo
Higher-value transactions need the strongest fraud-prevention and chargeback handling. Dojo's settlement and dispute support fit this trade better than no-contract acquirers.
Why this trade matters
- Cashflow shape
- Strong Q4 (Christmas) and Valentine's. Bespoke commissions stage across deposits.
- Average transaction
- £100 to £2000+
- Contactless share
- ~30% (high-value declines contactless)
Watch outs
- Higher chargeback exposure on online sales.
- Insurance-card declines for higher-value items need handling.
- Deposit-on-bespoke requires card-on-file consent capture.
Alternatives
- Stripe Reader S700 (online + in-store hybrid)
- Worldpay terminals (legacy retailers)
