Credit Card Questions

[Sleepy]

I know I am missing business due to my cash only policy. Would someone point me in the right direction to set up accepting credit cards? Due debit cards work under the same system? Are there any pitfuls in taking this type of payment other than fees? What are the fees? Enough questions, thanks for any advice.

try looking at http://www.merchantwarehouse.comI went with them. I opted to buy my machine, but you can also lease one.Debit cards rock because you only pay about $.60 per transaction, regardless of the amount. I got great rates & very good service with them.JIll/Sagetherapist

I, too, went with merchantwarehouse.com   I bought a refurbished machine, works greeeat. I have only had it hooked up for about a month now, but was well worth the investment! I checked out many companies, including my own bank, and they couldnt compare with merchant. Its scary, getting your feet wet by taking credit cards, but ya know the old saying "nothing beats a failure but a try"  Good luck!

Credit cards rock!  No trips to the bank, fees are tax deductable, people buy more gift certificates with cards...what's not to love.Used a machine until recently but switched to a machine-less system that I can use over the phone with no monthly fee, no invoice fee, etc.  Just the discount rate and .30 per transaction.  Could probably get a lower rate than the 2.6% I'm paying but I no longer need a phone line for the machine so that saves about $50/month.Got mine thru Compass Bank here in San Antonio.  Works great.  A similar system though more expensive is at http://www.chargeamerica.comBen Crabtree, RMT, CNMTSan Antonio, Texashttp://www.massagebyben.com

I would check with the bank where you have your business account. The one I got years ago for a different business was the old kind where you put the card in and submit the stubs with your regular deposit. The forms were free. But I'm sure that the bank would rather you go to an automatic system now.

Has anyone used Cell Charge through LMT Success Group?  Pros?  Cons?There are soooooo many options out there and since I'm "technically challenged," I'm looking for the easiest route possible.  Thanks.D
