My mother has a really good friend that has a lot of antiques and wants to open an antique shop. She has loved antiques for as long as I can remember and wants to share her love for them with others that love antiques too. She wants to call it ‘New Again’ because if you buy something from her, it’s new to you even though it might be 50 years old or older. I think the name is really pretty smart but others might not think so. Like the old saying goes, ‘What’s old becomes new again to the next owner.’ I guess that’s an old saying isn’t it? I think that’s the way it goes anyway.
She spoke with someone that told her she would need merchant accounts so that she can accept credit card payments in her store. A merchant account is when they provide you with a terminal to process credit cards and debit cards. They provide you with customer service should your terminal go down and they get you the money the next day. You don’t have to wait a month like some others require. The one that was suggested to her even has a 30 day free trial period.
She’ll be able to accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and also Discover cards. The best part of this company is there is no long term contract she has to sign so she’s not stuck with it for years if she decides she doesn’t really need it. The transaction fee is very reasonable too compared to some she checked into. Oh and to top it off, there was no annual fees either. Those can really add up too. She’s going to save a bunch of money by using them so that she can accept credit cards.
