victor hugo deli

Based in Edinburgh

VICTOR HUGO DELI maintains the tradition of serving great continental foods, with a proud reputation for its sandwiches, brunch and lunch menus, and its renowned Edinburgh-roasted coffee.

The Problem

VICTOR HUGO DELI was struggling with its former payment service provider (PSP). They were experiencing issues with support and found they were paying higher rates and charges.

Connecting With Swipen

Swipen was recommended to Victor Hugo Deli by one of our valued partners. They were looking to switch to a local payment specialist with improved customer service. Victor Hugo also wanted to save money on their rates and fees.

the solution

By switching to Swipen, Victor Hugo Deli is saving 25% on their rates and fees – a fantastic improvement for their bottom line.

 

The deli is now benefiting from Swipen’s reliable and prompt support service. 

 

As the only Scottish PSP, Swipen is based in Edinburgh, giving Victor Hugo’s the local provider they wanted.

Having dealt with other processing providers, Swipen has really helped us reduce our fees and charges.

It’s also a pleasure dealing with a local company who are there whenever we need them via their first-class support channels.

Virtual Terminal - Taking Payments over the Phone

Many businesses find it useful to take payments over the phone, whether you’re a travel agent
needing to take deposits, a mobile tradesperson, travelling salesperson, you have a call centre, or you don’t have a website to take payments online.

Swipen’s Virtual Terminal allows you to take card payments over the phone quickly and securely.

Our solution is a web portal that can be used on a desktop, tablet or mobile device.

Virtual Terminal Key Features

More secure than a card terminal - Completing the payment over the phone with full customer details reduces the risk of chargebacks or fraud.

Pay By Link - Send a payment link to complete the purchase or pay a balance. This is also a useful feature for customers who prefer to not give their details over the phone.

Capture Customer Details - The Virtual Terminal allows you to capture all the customer details you will need for your CRM or Booking Systems reducing the need for double inputting.

Control Permissions - Restrict user access to only certain functionality so you can control what your staff can process and see.

Take Payments anywhere - The Virtual Terminal is compatible to all devices and allows you to take payments from anywhere - office, home or on the move in a safe and secure way.

Ideal for call centres, travel agents, travelling salespeople, mobile tradespeople, restaurants for pre-bookings and parties, hotels for rooms and events, or any business that doesn’t have a website that customers can pay through.

Tip Per Tap -Contactless Tipping System

With the dawn of cashless and touchless checkouts along with app ordering systems and pay online methods, many restaurants, bars, cafés and hotels are finding that their waiting staff are no longer able to receive cash or card tips.

Swipen has the perfect solution: the new ‘Tip Per Tap’ Contactless Tipping System

Directly Integrated

A dedicated terminal is placed in a prominent location in your restaurant.

The terminal is set to ‘donation’ and the debit amount is set at a specific figure. e.g. £2

Your happy customers simply tap their card, phone or watch against the terminal to leave a £2 tip.

They can tap multiple times to leave a larger amount

Works automatically without the need for a member of staff to supervise.

End-of-day report is separate, making it quicker and easier to share the total tips received between staff members.
