What payment solutions work for taking card payments at events outside the UK?

When a UK PDQ terminal won't work at overseas events, members recommend checking with the importer or event organiser for local payment solutions. - **Revolut** — mentioned as a potential solution; worth exploring their international payment capabilities - **SumUp or Zettle (local versions)** — the importer often has access to a local version of these services, which can process payments and handle settlement back to you - **Importer support** — ask the importer you're working with at the event if they can provide a payment solution, as they typically have local payment infrastructure in place and can remit proceeds to you Caveat: The discussion was limited; members were still actively seeking solutions at the time of conversation, suggesting this remains a pain point for the community.
