    Becoming an Octopus merchant

    I've seen some mobile octopus readers around Hong Kong, many times in mom&pop type of places.

    Is it an easy & painless process to signup and get one one
    or
    is it really expensive & painful like getting a credit card machine?

    Anyone been thru the process?

    Thats not all that bad - but I have a feeling that the same wont be true of regular merchants...
