Know your transaction fees. Many companies do not accept credit card orders of $10 or less because they can't recover the transaction fees on any orders that low. Your transaction fee with Merchant Accounts Express is $.79 per transaction. That should help you set your credit card acceptance limit.

Host your trade show and accept credit cards with any phone. It's that simple. On the day of the show just make sure you have a phone nearby and you are all set to accept credit card orders. Don't forget to make up your own receipts though, for your records and the customers records.
