Accepting Credit Cards

Hello. I`ve been using PayPal for over a year and I`m very happy with it. In my particular case, I did not have any web experience before starting my business and it was important for me to have simple solutions that I could personally manage. Not only would I recommend PayPal, but I am also very happy with my shopping cart service: AuctionInc. They have an extremely accurate method for calculating shipping costs for all the major carriers. Casi2009-1-28 23:52:48

You do not grow a successful business by cutting costs.
I have been paid for significant contracts by credit card - and you will too.
It`s a necessary "investment" in your business and should never be considered a cost except when filing your tax return.

Do you use Quick Books for your accounting? They have a program where you can except credit cards and it just integrates into the program. It`s really not too expensive.
We use a virtual terminal, and never see the card, so we are classified as "phone sales".
Quickbooks merchant service uses a 5 tier discount pricing structure, don`t they? If so, you are leaving some money on the table there.
I would check out Quickbooks, COSTCO or Charge.com, compare prices and decide which is better for you. I think all of them would be less expensive then Paypal and you have more control and can grow your business with them.
