Hi,
Just starting out. Spoke with 1st national processing today. Like what the rep had to say.
Has anyone used this company for credit card processing? If so, do you like the product and customer service?
Blessings.

I have not used them, I use Intuit GoPayment.Com. No monthly fees - free card reader and uses cell phone. 2.70% if swiped and 3.70% if keyed. I have had no problems with them and received the money in my account within a couple of days.

i really appreciate the information about credit cards. i'm just starting out and want to accept credit cards but i didn't want to have to give the money i made accepting them back to a bank. i am going to check out "gopayment.com" and will probably join because of the information you (reyerware) have given.
thanks again.

1st National does not tell you all the facts. They leave out some of the details. Also, Intuit has had security risks with their swiper. Go to google and type in Verifone and the square card reader and you will see what I mean. There rates at 2.70 are high. I got setup with anther company which had a better deal and their rate was 1.69%. and had a Free swiper you can use with your cell phone.

How do you handle being in a weak signal area? I was unable to log into GoPayment recently because the signal was too weak to connect and the server timed out. Do you take the card on faith and get the authorization later or just decline the sale?

I got a square card reader because it sounded like a great deal. I was at 3 craft fairs this summer and couldn't use it at any of them because there was no wi-fi available.
I'm afraid I'll have the same problem with many of these services. I have an iTouch gen 2, (not a phone). I can get then internet so long as there is wi-fi, but otherwise I can't.
Can you help me understand which of these services would work for me? Thanks for the great links reyerware, it's all just a little much for me to absorb. I need the easy-reader version. :)

Donnajo22, have you considered getting a smartphone? At least then, you can use a 3G signal (if available) to get on the internet instead of relying on wi-fi only. It seems to me it would be hard to find a wi-fi hotspot unless the show supplies one (?).

I use my bank merchant device that gives me a flat rate of 1.50% for all swipe and not sure if any more per key. Their Poynt device is high encryption (very safe) I run my secure hotspot for wireless. It is a lease of $67 per month, but averages to most others that charge higher % per swipe/key. USBank / USBancard Corp. offers this. I use MAXX battery to charge up to 8 devices per day.

If you are a crafter that doesn't shows every month. I would not go with a bank. Going with Square (we usee) and intuit would best or even an another internet base product. Usually going through a bank you have to for it even the months that you don't have shows.
