Re: mobile credit card accepting

Huh?? it's not expensive at all. Not much more if any over conventional CC processing. You just need to contact the right merchant sevices firm. Most will give you the machine for free. The fee's arealmost identical to regular processing (or you can negotiate them to be) We used them for the towing company I owned. There was never any "Extra" expense over the base machine that sat in the office. FWIW we used Merchant Warehouse at the time. Great rates and good over the phone service. If you need more personal service just look up any local merchant and I'm sure they'd have zero issues setting you up.

Just remember when getting rate quotes.. Low qualified rates mean jack crap 95% of all you're customers will have non-qualified cards. So you need to have a real good non-qualified or mid rate. Also negotiate the set up fees. (most companies will waive this if asked) and the statement fee (usually between $7-$10/month) can be waived if you opt out of paper and have it all sent electronically. and remember EVERYTHING is negotiable when it comes to this. Don't hesitate to try and get better rates than what they quote. There are a million and one merchant service's operating out there it's extreamly cut throat and if one dosen't give you the rates you want the next guy will and they all know that.
