There are many stores who do not accept credit cards as payments for their purchases or services. I finally inquired with one of the stores as to why they don’t accept credit cards. She started explaining about how expensive the processing feels are. Since I used to own my own business, I gave her some information about getting cheap credit card processing fees. You can get lower rates if you go through certain companies. She was not aware of this. Without accepting credit cards, a store often will lose business and people will begin shopping at a store that accepts them. She is now going to inquire with some of the companies I gave her and try to begin getting cheap credit card processing fees. Many people are unaware of being able to get lower rates, but if you check around with different companies, it is available and also will make more money because more people will shop at your store.
