Merchant Service Terminals
Credit Card Machines and Printers
Need to accept credit cards? Given the recent increase in credit card use, it is sometimes necessary to accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express beyond the normal in-store application. Cards are now accepted at flea markets, farmer's markets, antique and collectible shows, and other places where a phone line or internet connection may not be available. Several credit card machines now have mobile broadband and wireless phone capabilities. A credit card machine at a remote location can be a tremendous advantage for impulse buys where people do not have ready access to cash. Many merchant account providers can help you accept cards using remote machines, and may even offer a discount depending on your service plan and sales volume.
Notes and Special Information
Special note: Be sure to shop around for the best machines. Identical machines can cost more or less depending on the service plan with your merchant account and gateway provider.
