Lloyd,
Don't know if this helps, but it's how we enable card transactions for
all vendors:
Our market (http://www.abingdonfarmersmarket.net/) uses the EBT
system, which allows customers to purchase wooden tokens with their
cards. Hence every vendor at the market gets the benefit, at a
fraction of the cost (and time?) of multiple vendors buying/doing
their own setup.
As for increased sales, it varies week to week, but the tokens can be up to
20%.
Contact our market manager at the site above for more details.

Hello, everyone -
Does anyone have any experience with taking credit/debit cards at markets?
We are considering doing this, based on customer feedback and research
showing pretty good sales increases. It requires setting up a merchant
account (which we have had before) and the right wireless equipment to do
it. IF you do take cards at your markets, what brand/model equipment do you
use?
Thanks!
