Accepting credit cards

[AlliedPianoCraft]

I looked into accepting credit cards many times. One of the problems with being able to accept credit cards is that you must pay a minimum monthly fee. For those of you who would like to give it a try without paying a monthly fee, check into PayPal. You can sign up with PayPal to accept credit cards without paying a monthly fee. Here is how it works. You send your client an email invoice. They pay the invoice using their credit card. You can have the money (less the commission) transferred right into you checking account. within 3 working days. It's as simple as that.

>>Greg,
>>I have accepted credit cards for about 10yrs now. I found an immediate 
>>increase in customers willing to invest money into their pianos. 
>>Regulation, action rebuilds, dampp-chaser installations and other costly 
>>repairs are typically paid for by cc. Many families do not have a couple 
>>thousand dollars in their checking account to rebuild their piano action 
>>when the necessary work is needed but are willing to pay for it in 
>>installments over time. I am finding more and more customers are paying 
>>for regular service work with their visa debit cards linked to their 
>>checking account, checkbooks are being used less and less. I realize 
>>that there are those on the list that will raise the "we are becoming a 
>>cashless society" and "I will not help another person get into debt" 
>>arguments. Their choices are there own. I run a business and will accept 
>>any legal form of payment that they want to give me. I highly encourage 
>>you to give the credit card acceptance a try. There may be times when 
>>you may not accept a card for 2 months, but that is offset with the 
>>months when we might accept 15 or 20 card payments.
