Credit Card Transactions




In a continues effort to look for tools to increase sales, I have decided to check into accepting credit cards. I have looked at Paypal Payment Pro, which comes at a monthly fee of $20 plus 2.2% to 2.9%+.30 USD transaction fee.

Paypal Pro offers a credit card set up (Visa, Mastercard, AX, etc. ) through the sellers own web site. When a customer decides to buy something they fill out an on-line form on your site, paypal handles the transaction in the background and the seller receives a credit to his/her account. The nice bonus to this is that you can accept credit cards in person at shows, or via the phone and can input them yourself via your web site. Of course that also means there has to be Internet access...

I don't know how this compares to what is out there. Apparently there are many schemes that offer low start up rates, but with tons of hidden charges.

If you accept credit cards, would you please share your experiences and offer some insight as to how you did your set up and what you pay in monthly/transaction fees.
