Craft Show 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.

If you are selling crafts online, you almost can’t afford not to be able to accept credit cards or PayPal. But what if you don’t have a merchant account and for some reason, haven’t been able to get one?

Several companies offer a variety of options for processing credit cards for craft businesses. Check out this offer for crafters who need a merchant account.

Most merchant account services can set you up with a terminal and arrange real time processing online. However, be sure to check all the applicable fees and monthly service charges. Real time processing means someone can make a purchase from your online shopping cart and their credit card is checked to see if it is a valid card. If so, their account is debited and your account is credited the amount of the sale. If not, the customer is prompted to enter another card number.

How do you decide which service is right for your craft business? Read the article about accepting credit cards here. Or just fill in the form in the upper right of this blog page and learn what services are available for your business.

Happy Christmas selling!
