Barclaycard Smartpay Anywhere 4+

Avoid at all cost. Setup was never possible without the support staff on phone taking you through the process. Technically rubbish system with least GUI friendliness. I had Paid over a grand to exhibit at a retail show for 2 days and then on the day, the app locked me out due to the bug (which they later acknowledged). You could only unlock using their online portal. I didn’t have my laptop with me hence couldn’t fix the issue but so glad I had SumUp as a backup. I see no value in Barclay payment system. If you are to use it, please do keep a backup option. If you don’t believe me then see the overall score this app has here..

Trying to find someone that can explain how to get this app on multiple phones and enrol it phone is May on impossible- plus when I was sold the machine it was not explain to me that you could not have an online Barclaycard account to download statements for accounting purposes. I have to wait until the hardcopy arrives in the post. Customer service is shocking. It’s more about the portal rather than explaining how to get the app working on your phone !

I have been locked out of this app three times now. If you don’t take a card payment for 7days your account will be locked. And you’ll have to call customer services to unlock it. Best of all it will lock you out after you start taking payments, you know right in the middle busy service. Beyond frustrating.
