Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Dear Colleagues: The CAO board(actually Larry Harvey), but we'll take credit anyway, is trying to put together a membership benefits package that will include credit card processing, discounted disability insurance etc. etc.. ect... and the discount fees will be much more attractive than 5.99%. Just hold on to your hats and your trade organization, if your a member, will take care of you! Sincerely, DR. COBY L.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Listmates; My apopogies on the credit card subject. Thot Jack was looking for a personal card at a low rate, therefore the suggestion of Providian N. B. DrBob credit cards : I tried for years to come up with a satisfactory arrangement. The charges on all of them are so absurd I continue to muddle ahead without them. from near the edge Jack Pedersen, DC Sweet Home, Or (unknown) > FYI > > I was interested in changing my office credit card processing so the > CAO's legislative fund could have a donation.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Hello, I sell wholesale to boutiques so I never had to deal with the whole credit card situation. I am doing a trade show in a couple of weeks and would like to give my customers the option to use a credit card. Is there some way to obtain this service temporarily without signing a big contract? I would probably only use it once in a while. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paypal, while it seems huge, is really only a small payment processor. The majority of web users don't have paypal. Or, they might have some other online currency such as Egold, or alertpay or one of the many others out there. Being able to take credit cards will be more than worth the monthly fees to accept them.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 More info on credit cards. These are companies that you can use that don't require you to have an actual merchant account. You do pay for this kind of service, but if have low volume, it might be better to start this way. I am not vouching for any of these companies, as I haven't used them (just have them bookmarked). So, please do further research. If you do mostly craft shows, you might be better off with one of the phone systems, so you can call in for authorization while at a show. http://www.paynetsystems.com/html/phone-credit-card-processing.htm http://www.merchant-accounts.com/credit_card_processing_touch_tone_processing.ht\ m http://www.merchantseek.com/thompson-merchant-services.htm http://www.nomerchantacct.com/ http://www.internetsecure.com/solutions-faq.htm http://www.propay.com Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi , I use Propay and really like it. No I don't have an imprint machine. I do my reporting on the computer after my shows. They offer a fancy gizmo that I've seen used by some vendors but I don't take enough cards to warrant the expense. You just have to be careful to remember to get all the info you need. Jeanine Jeanine's Hummingbird Soap Works credit cards I'm thinking about setting up my business to take credit cards. I see from older post propay is popular. Any other thoughts? I wonder about the inprint machine do I have to have my own plate? Much thanks! AKA the soap pimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 , Give Deb Woodruff a call or shoot her an email about the merchant account services she offers. She is great to work with and will get you a great deal. Her email is deb_woodruff@... and her # is 574-292-2590. The company she works for is central payment corporation http://bit.ly/12Myyi.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I use Propay too and haven't had any problems with it. Unlike Jeannine, I use an imprinter but I don't have a plate with my info on it. Taking credit cards is an added convenience for the customer but I don't think that I sell more product because of it..
