Better still make sure you have your own payment processing facility. If you set yourself up as a proper business you should have no trouble getting some kind of portable merchant facility for taking payments directly. Thats a good point.

However...a very important tip. The economy these days are forcing some business avenues to not accept any kind of credit or debit cards due to the huge banking fees. I did not realize my location did not accept cards until it was too late! Buyers stepped up & whipped out their card to purchase my wares, only to be told only cash was accepted. I lost money that day. Make sure you put on your checklist the kinds of payment methods that are accepted when involved with second party money transactions.
