Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire accepting credit card payments

what is a relatively cheap service on gunbroker for accepting credit card payments? i am not a frequent seller.

I had retail business for 34 years. To me, I never charged an extra whatever percentage to the bill. Figured it was just of cost for doing business. Charging extra for a CC i s just greed.

Well, no, it's not just greed. The company which processes the credit card charges somewhere in the 3 to 4.5% range. Dependent on how much volume the merchant does and what kind of deal they can negotiate. If you have a seller operating on a 20% margin or less and they take a 3.5% slice out of it it could mean the difference in a business staying open or closing it's doors. I'm not sure about everyone else but I want as many firearm oriented business open as possible.

I certainly appreciate the retailer who gives me a 3% discount for paying by cash or check.

If it is a problem just don't take credit cards, or pay with a check. Problem, if there is one solved!

Jeez, how did you manage to stay in business for 34 years with that attitude?

I don't charge extra for a card but I do give a discount for cash.

Not a lot of readers here OP,
Let me try for you;




(Think "service, APP, Platform,company etc"}

thanks

Stripe is good, if you are doing this as a business with a merchant account.

If it is just you, something like Intuit Go would work. Better than Square anyway.

I use square. It’s decent. Better than a lot as far as expenses. But I don’t like their interface. I can’t get what I want out of it so I am always looking for an option.

But if it’s just the occasional transaction, I think square would be perfect

Did you read the question?

some people feel safer by paying by credit card , if they are not happy they can dispute the charge. also a seller who offers payment by CC appears to be running a business .

I like square. couple higher percent charged on each transaction but there's no monthly or subscription fees so it works out cheaper if you're only doing a few credit card transactions a month.

I probably do less than 20 transactions per year on site, and Square works just fine. For the online store we use stripe. Not enough experience there to have an opinion.

Aliens is the answer.
