Using Dojo?
Overview of Dojo
Dojo (Paymentsense's flagship brand) has grown rapidly in the UK, particularly within hospitality, retail and personal services. The proposition centres on a modern card machine, next-business-day settlement and a simple sign-up process.
Pricing is typically presented as a single blended rate. While this is easy to understand, it does not always reveal the true effective rate paid across the full mix of card types and transaction values.
Common fees businesses should check
A single percentage applied to all card types.
Monthly hire for the Dojo Go card machine.
Per-transaction charge, where applicable.
Such as Dojo Pocket, virtual terminal or booking integrations.

Start free reviewContract terms and considerations
- Merchant agreements are commonly offered on multi-year terms.
- Terminal hire is typically aligned to the merchant agreement length.
- Pricing reviews after onboarding are not automatic - rates may stay fixed for the full contract.
Exit fees and early termination
- Early termination fees may apply if the merchant agreement is cancelled before its end date.
- Always check both the merchant agreement and the terminal hire schedule before any decision.
- Where switching makes clear financial sense, some alternative providers may be able to assist with exit costs, subject to approval.
We never guarantee to pay your exit fees or that you can be released from a contract. Any support with exit costs is dependent on selected alternative providers, is subject to approval and is only considered when switching makes clear financial sense.
Common reasons businesses request a review
- Rate has not been reviewed since signing up.
- Business mix is heavy in commercial or international cards, where blended pricing can be more expensive.
- Average transaction value has changed materially.
- Renewal is approaching and the owner wants a benchmark before signing again.
Frequently asked questions
Will reviewing my Dojo statement contact Dojo?
No. We never contact your current provider without your written permission. The review is private and entirely for your information.
Do I have to leave Dojo after the review?
Not at all. Many reviews end with the business staying on a renegotiated rate, or with confirmation that the existing setup is reasonable. You are under no obligation to switch.
How long does a Dojo statement review take?
Most reviews are returned within a few working days once we have a recent monthly statement.
What does the review actually check?
Transaction rates, terminal rental, PCI fees, authorisation fees, monthly minimums, settlement timings, contract length, exit fees and any hidden extras specific to your account.
