David, While I'm certainly not a big fan of carrying anything more than I am already, I wonder if more sales couldn't be had of extras like caster cups and the like if they weren't worried about how much was in the account at that moment. There have been quite a few companies sending me stuff of late as I just restructured the business to a sub S corp from an LLC. There is one company with a rate of only 1.15% which seems quite low comparatively. Naturally they don't tell you much else until they get you to sign up. Monthly fees, per transaction fees, etc. all add up. Thus the question. Is it worth it? I may be selling bigger ticket items soon so I wonder if it's important to have for that.

I sure wouldn't want to carry around anymore stuff... My wife works for a performance venue and they take credit cards. The following work day she has to enter the info and send it electronically to the card company. I believe charge a minimum fee per month for the privilege. I rarely get asked if I take credit cards. Most people still write checks when they have to... David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044
