How do you charge peoples credit cards when you start a business? -

I am soon starting a business. Does anyone know how the whole credit card thing works?I will be taking payment inside peoples homes. Do I call in a nimber or something?? Thanks!

I lost my job 5 months ago, but I ve finally found something I can do in my free time to make some exta money to help make ends meet. By no means am I making as much as my previous job, but every dollar helps. Try it yourself. http://www.goodonlinedeals.com/Work-At-H��

You have to open an account with the credit card companies. They will check your credit rating. Once approved, they will install a card machine for you so that you can accept credit card payments.If you want to accept VISA, MasterCard and American Express, you would have to set up an account with each one of them, but you only need one machine.

There are three ways that I can think of.1) Use Paypal. You cannot process someone elses credit card, but you can send them an invoice and they can pay it online with a credit card.2) Similar to the above, 2checkout.com or similar service. They deal with all the backend stuff and you just sell.3) You need to use a credit card processing company or a bank.There s always pros and cons. Using option 3, the processing fees are usually less but there s a monthly statement charge, but you may have to pay for your internet gateway too. With options 1 and 2, there s slightly more cost but you have lower monthly fees.Good luck on your new buiness.

There are two options that im aware of, you can apply for a mobile merchant facility through any bank, they can sometimes be hard to qualify for so make sure you have everything in order the 1st time as you can usually only re-apply after 6months. The other really easy option is utilizing something like pay pal or money bookers. Through them you can set up an online shop and charge people through.

Go through your bank and ask them about credit card transaction processing.Or check with your local chamber of commerce as there are independent companies that offer this service as well.If you are using online credit card transaction processing there are many services you can use, including PayPal.
