Accepting credit card payments outside of a retail environment can be very expensive in fees, and require tricky or hard to operate specialized gadgets. There are plenty of freelance workers and traveling merchants who could seriously improve their sales and profits by accepting credit cards, but many of them can’t afford the expensive devices needed to send the credit card information from their location. Some have made do with outdated manual credit card machines, which make a copy of the card which is sent into the payment processor. But this can be risky, as the card number could be stolen or the card declined, and the merchant doesn’t know until after the sale has been completed.
