Practical help.
Clear boundaries.

01 / YOUR APPROVED ACCOUNT

Keep the account in your name

Start with one existing approved customer-owned payment-provider account. You complete any provider onboarding, identity or bank-detail steps directly and accept its terms yourself. Account approval is not included or guaranteed.

02 / THREE SIMPLE ITEMS

Agree the exact amounts

Prepare up to three fixed-price one-off links for approved items or services. You confirm the item descriptions, amounts, currency and customer-facing terms. Subscriptions, payment plans and custom pricing engines are excluded.

03 / YOUR WEBSITE ROUTE

Use provider-hosted checkout

Add an agreed link or button on one supported existing website. Supply provider-generated QR codes where supported. The payment provider hosts the checkout; this offer does not add card collection to DaveBrain’s server.

04 / TEST MODE FIRST

Rehearse without real money

Use provider test mode and test data to check the item, amount, currency, supported receipt settings, success/cancel behaviour and mobile website route. No real payment, charge or refund is needed for the rehearsal.

05 / YOUR LIVE APPROVAL

You choose when to activate

You review the final prices, terms, provider fees and destination account, then activate live links yourself. No live transaction or financial-account change is made automatically as part of this setup.

06 / PRACTICAL HANDOVER

Know how to manage a link

A walkthrough explaining ownership, where provider fees apply and how to disable a link. Full e-commerce, tax setup/advice, refunds, disputes, ongoing management and integrations are separate. Overlapping website or automation work is removed from the quote.

£149 to set up.
Provider fees stay separate.

A one-off guided setup and test-mode handover. There is no compulsory DaveBrain monthly plan. The merchant pays the provider’s applicable fees and keeps control of account details and live activation.

A conversation.
Then a clear plan.

01

Tell David what you need

Choose this service on the enquiry form and describe the outcome you want. No payment or files are needed to start.

02

Agree the scope

We check suitability and availability, then confirm the brief, full price, timing, access and any separate costs.

03

Work and handover

The agreed work is completed and checked with you, with a practical handover and any next steps made clear.

Clear about the details.

Does £149 include card-processing fees?

No. Provider processing fees, subscriptions and other provider charges are separate and paid by the merchant. David confirms the agreed setup scope; you review the provider’s current pricing before activation.

Will you open or approve a payment account for us?

No. This offer starts with an existing approved customer-owned account. You complete onboarding, identity and bank-detail steps directly with the provider and accept its terms yourself.

Will you take a payment to test it?

The rehearsal uses provider test mode and test data. No live payment, charge or refund is included. You approve and activate live links yourself.

Does it include an online shop, subscriptions or tax advice?

No. This starter covers simple fixed-price one-off links. Full e-commerce, subscriptions, payment plans, tax configuration/advice, refunds/disputes and integrations require separate arrangements.

What if payment work is already in our website or automation brief?

We check existing agreements and quote only for distinct additional work, avoiding duplicate charges.

What do you
have in mind?

Tell David about your payment-link needs. The homepage form will have this service selected for you.
