Hi everyone

I am thinking about using a credit card service.  I do about 15 shows a year and i do get caught on loosing a sale.

What are some of the service that your artist use? 

Any suggestion would be great.

HI Connie,  I use propay too and I'm happy with it.

I went through my local Chamber of Commerce, who were able to recommend a good company.  The fees wound up being similar to PayPal's (which we also accept), so not too bad at all.

Are you a Chase bank user? I use Paymentech through them.

I quickly checked Propay against Paymentech to see any differences.
Propay sets limits on the amaximum amount that can be accepted monthly. Going over a set amount would need the next level up of accounts.
P'tech accepts any amount.
There is an annual fee for Propay: Does one month of higher sales bump you up automatically for the next higher annual fee for that calendar year?
I pay no annual fee but $7.50 monthly, no matter if I have zero sales or $10,000 in sales each month (I can dream!!)

The basic $40 plan with Propay accepts VISA & MC but you need the next level for more card brands.
I can accept those on my P'tech plan.

I'd change if it was worth it but I think they come out about even.

Any others use a different service?

Thanks ladys for your suggestion.  I'll be checking into those credit cards service.  Hate to loose those sales if i only accept checks or cash.

Hugs to you all :hug:
