What I do want to do is share something that has gotten me a little more business, accepting credit cards.

I use Square, its a reasonable merchant account like Paypal but they supply you with a card reader that plugs into your smart phone.

The fee is 2.75% per swipe which is reasonable in my opinion.

You can accept Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express with the same fee with no hidden costs.

If you would like to look into it further their website is https://squareup.com/

I have been using them for a while now and have had no problems with them.



Like I said, I'm not interested in discussing ethics or your way of doing business in this thread, only offering some advice for those who may find it useful.
Looks simple enough and easy to use. At least they give you free equipment.

Only people that I know of that are slightly cheaper is 5linx. However, the only free way to take cards is via a website. Other wise, you have to buy a machine from their seller.

Only thing I am not cool with, is if you issue a refund, your money can be held up a few days. Guess I will have "no refund" policy...either that, or just write them a check.
