It is against CC regs to require a minimum purchase in
order to run a credit card. K THE WAY FOOD
USED TO TASTE www.LegacyManorFarm.com (Maryland) -----Original Message----- > Does anyone have any experience with taking
credit/debit cards at markets? I take credit cards but not debit cards and require a $10
minimum purchase to do so. > We are considering doing this, based on customer
feedback and research > showing pretty good sales increases. It requires

brand/model equipment do you > use? My bank tried to talk me into purchasing/leasing
equipment but I firmly put my foot down and requested the old fashioned
carbonless reciepts that I write out. I happen to do a couple festivals a year
in an area where there isn't even cell service, and they reluctantly ordered a
"knuckle-buster" for me, but I don't even use that any more since I
have trouble with the rollers lining up to imprint my name. It IS cumbersome, but more to the point, it is cheap
since I don't have to pay for the carbonless receipts. Credit card sales have
helped increase sales; bank charges $10/month, credit card charges 3%. I can
shut off service for any month I do not anticipate sales but last year was able
to get into some winter markets so did not need to use that option. There may
be a small fee to start back up again - that may be something to consider if
you do not do winter markets. DebM zone 5 _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy. Search, chat and
