Not all small businesses have a Merchant Account set up for accepting credit cards. For one, most online Merchant Accounts charge a monthly fee close to $50.00 whether or not you have any transactions. Then there’s the merchant “discount” fee that takes a percentage of every sale on top of the monthly fee. And don’t forget the credit card machine rental for inside sales. That’s why many people use PayPal or a similar service where there’s no on-going monthly fee and you’re only charged for the per transaction discount fee. That’s all good IF you only do business online. But what about those other occasions when you need to be able to accept a credit card or for those who don’t like to use PayPal?
