You need to get a knucklebuster and receipts, but this is sometimes a plus, as we have had people using Square borrow it from us, as they cannot get a signal for some reason, and so can't use their Square!<br />The fees are quite reasonable, and have given us quite a few sales when the customer would have walked away if we didn't take plastic.<br />www.propay.comKevin Carternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650505838849412496.post-15868134343392418282011-11-22T06:20:35.988-08:002011-11-22T06:20:35.988-08:00I am in sort of the same boat right now.

Luckily my wife has a smart phone, so I think I am going to try out the square pretty soon. It works with the new ipod too, not just the iphone, right?-Rob, Simple Circle Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870433162485160315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650505838849412496.post-19991393530309049022011-11-22T05:33:03.741-08:002011-11-22T05:33:03.741-08:00I previously used ChasePaymentech through the Pott...I previously used ChasePaymentech through the Potter's Council, but at the end of my contracted time, they adjusted by monthly fee to $25 so I moved to 1st National Processing using a swipe and store device, it's $6/month, but the transaction fees and % are lower. It comes out abot the same cost as the Chase, but with swipe capability instead of phoning in each transaction. I didn't see moving to a smart phone in your list of options. Is that something to consider?Sue Pariseau Potteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714855341699465370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650505838849412496.post-7524358272561532712011-11-22T05:16:09.330-08:002011-11-22T05:16:09.330-08:00Hi Lori,

They charge $3.50 per month and a percentage fee per transaction- it's different for each card, but cheap. So, if I do not sell in a month all I owe is $3.50. Nice. The sent me a free knuckle buster- I think I had to pay for the plate, but can't remember. Going through Potters Council is the only way to get these rates. After a show, I have to call in each slip on an automated phone system, but it is not too bad. The money is directly deposited into my account. I also ordered a square, thinking it may be cheaper over all. My issue is that we still do not get cell service in our area! It's always somethin' ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084462536524346103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-650505838849412496.post-6353949583753836682011-11-22T05:04:54.691-08:002011-11-22T05:04:54.691-08:00Very interesting post.

The credit card thing is one of the reasons (among others) that I have avoided looking into doing art/craft fairs. <br /><br />Thanks.Felicia Kramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04304044786374755767noreply@blogger.com
