We have been taking credit/debit cards for the last 8 years and it
really does help our sales. We use a knuckle buster at the market and then
I come home and enter them into our ProPay account on the computer. www.propay.com We pay a $35 a year
membership fee, 2.9% per transaction and only 35 cents when we transfer the
monies to our bank account. I am happy to report that we've only had one
sale that would not go through and I always get a phone number so I can call the
customer back if I need to. It works for us!
Our market started taking credit card/debit/EBT and what ever
else...customers get wooden coins to spend at the market. It has gone over
very well.
The days of cash are about gone no matter where you shop. It seems
like everyone carries a small amount but they sure do have a debit card handy
when they need it! We've had many sales that would have been a few dollars
but grew into $20+ because we accept cards.
