Mobile Credit Card Processing

Does my craft business need mobile credit card processing?

If you sell craft items at craft shows, fairs and festivals, you will lose sales if you fail to offer customers the option to pay by credit card (If you sell only online at eBay, most buyers are used to paying with PayPal, so you don’t need mobile credit card processing.)

How can my business accept credit cards?

How do you obtain the right to accept credit cards? Usually, you just apply. For festivals and other public events, you may want to consider getting mobile credit card processing through a merchant account where you can accept credit cards with cell phone access.

What is the best credit card processing company?

The first criteria is that the proccessor adheres to credit card processing standards. Your bank probably offers small business merchant accounts and that’s a good place to start since they know your history. Since there is a credit check involved in the application, it may be easier to get approved where you already have a checking account.

You can also google the phrase “mobile credit card processing” to find other providers.

Always research any credit card processing service before signing up with them. Learn if they are a legitimate provider and have a + business rating. Beware of credit card processing free offers. They may indicate a scam.

If you are new to accepting credit cards, don’t worry as most providers include some kind of merchant account education.

There are good reasons to offer a variety of payment options.

1. Customers like to pay for their purchases in a manner of their own choosing.

2. Providing a choice of payment options makes you look like a trustworthy business.

3. The more options you provide, the more credibility you borrow from trusted names like….Visa Mastercard Discover American Express PayPal (your customer’s bank if you accept personal checks.)

If you sell online from your own website, consider providing a “mail order” form webpage for those people who don’t want to use a credit card online. And for sales offline, offer your customers mobile credit card processing.
