[pianotech] Credit Card Service providers - which one?

[tnrwim at aol.com]

The square  or similar systems won't work for me because most of my transaction are long distance. i.e. email or phone orders. I don't have the customer's card in hand to swipe it.  


... Digging deeper into the Square website, I see it IS possible to enter transactions manually, but then the fee climbs to 3.5% plus a transaction fee.  Too much.


Jurgen. 

But, as I said before, this is for each transaction. There is no monthly fee. 

I was with the First National Bank of Omaha for a while. When I told them I was leaving, they tried to keep me by offering a lower rate. Why don't you talk to your bank and see of they will lower their rates.

I use the card services for my supply business.  Occasionally I get asked by a tuning client if I accept a credit card. I generally decline - I see no need to lose $3 to a company for a transaction fee when I can simply collect a check or cash and pocket 100% of my tuning charge.


Anyone using a transaction service provider with some experiences to share?  Anyone signed up with Federated Payments?
