business question

[MissyAnn]

For those that sell at craft shows, do you accept credit cards, and if so, who do you use? I've been looking into different places. Square-up is a good option, but I don't have a smart phone. Propay is another one, but I don't the money to sign up for an account, a mircocard reader plus the service fee.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I don't sell at craft fairs but I know that most that do sell in cash. [at least the ones I know] I know of one person who sells via credit card and she has the dongle for her iphone in order to take credit cards.

We do accept credit cards and it greatly increases sales.

 

We use the Square as their fees are much lower than others like Propay. Also the Square automatically deposits your sales within 24 hours to your bank account. Love!!

 

We recently got an Ipad and downloaded the Square cash register app to it. I love it!! At the end of the show we can see exactly what we sold etc. Also I found people are more comfortable signing their charge on an Ipad verses a smart phone.
