Default Credit Cards

This is among the people who runs or owns their own business. What method of payment do you accept. I currently accept only cash and it seems that I'm losing potential clients because they prefer paying through credit cards. How can I be able to process credit card payments? Does having this feature incurs additional costs?

I am just building my website but it would be up in a month. I will be accepting cash, paypal, and credit card. Most people want to pay using their credit card that's why I looked for an online payment system. Check 2checkout.com. This feature adds on the cost though.The fee would be $.45 per sale + 5.5% of the sale amount. If your products are not that expensive, your customers will certainly feel the price change.

Paypal works too if you don't want to have a merchant account. They have some fees too. It's worth looking into if you're not ready to take the next step with a merchant account.

It actually depends whether your business is online or direct because when it's online, a means of paying through credit card is really a plus. But if it's direct selling, it is more common for customers to pay cash.

Paying in credit card is really a convenient and common means of payment. What type of business are you into? I think it will matter on what kind of business you have.
