Hi everyone,
I've been investigating options for taking credit card and ATH payments while we are out selling at art fairs, etc.
The company that is most popular in the US, called Square, unfortunately does not cover PR or other US territories. If you are totally unfamiliar with this type of service, basically it is a small device that attaches to your phone or ipad and allows you to take a customers credit card or ath payment right in your booth.
There is one company here that provides the service: Evertec
Here is the basic information: You need a merchant account with Banco Popular. The initial cost of the device is $130. there is a $17. monthly charge and a 2.5% +15 cent transaction fee. The device works only with apple phones or ipads. If you do enough selling in the street and want to be able to accept credit card payments, the Evertec sales rep is Rodolfo Nazario 787-579-4512
