It is amazing how many small businesses, including shops and services, still don’t take card payments. This is usually due to them believing the cost of the equipment and the payment rates will be extortionate. The truth is actually the opposite: you can get the equipment for very little outlay, the rates are favourable, and it can even add to your income. How is this possible? Millions of people use credit or debit cards for payments across the USA, and many people prefer cards as they are a more efficient and quick method of payment. This is even more true now that cards are available for contactless payment.
Furthermore, did you know that research has proven people will be more likely to spend more – by as much as 20% – if they pay by card? It’s not known quite why this is, but the most likely reason – again – is convenience. That means, if you are not taking cards, you could be missing out on an additional 20% of turnover.
Efficient Credit Card Processing
The rise in popularity of credit and debit cards means you need to be in on the game, so have a look at the various credit card processing equipment offerings and choose one that makes the most sense for your business. They can help you with wireless, hand-held terminals so you can take the payment from the table – perhaps in a café or restaurant – or you can move it effectively around the counter top without wires to hold you back. It’s the most efficient way of taking payments, and it will make life easier for both you and your customers.
