Opinions about Yavin

You already know the conditions and prices offered by Yavin. But what do we think about the Yavin service? Is it for all customers?

Yavin is a very complete payment solution that offers competitive prices, but perhaps it is not for all types of merchants, especially if you are just starting out or if you receive few card payments. If this is your case, other more economical solutions such as the Card Reader SumUp will be a better fit.

The reason? Although Yavin is a no obligation POS, you need to pay a monthly fee, so in this case it would be advisable to sign up for the service if your business is already established and receives a certain volume of card payments.

In that case, using Yavin may be of interest to you because, although you pay a monthly fee, you will have the advantage of being able to feel free to deactivate your subscription at any time, unlike what happens when contracting some more traditional terminals such as those of Santander, BBVA…
