I am not sure what the fees on that processor are, but my standard
merchant account is 35 cents a transaction + 2.99% for non swiped
(keyed) transactions. Then there is a .5% to .75% extra fee for reward
cards. I also have a $10 a month statement fee and $7.50 a month
"security fee". So it can add up fast if there are not a lot of CC
sales in a month.
The CC account is for my wife's crafts mostly, but we also use it for
some larger purchases (beef quarters etc). I haven't done vegetables
at market yet, but will probably take the knuckle buster just in case.
Cheers,
Paul
