Most small and medium-sized with a flea market or fair booths seller can not justify the expense of the material merchant account. Fortunately, this does not mean that there is no way to accept credit cards on-site! One of the easiest ways to accept credit cards from customers in an environment of a flea market is to use a phone-in method.

Some merchant account actually allow you to call a toll free number, enter your account number to verify your business, and then using the phone keypad, you must enter credit card details. The automated system can tell if your card has available funds for their purchase and you can proceed with the sale. This is a superior method of simply writing the customers card details on an order form, because you never know if your card will go through until you came home or office and goes into detail, long after the customer has already received his merchandise from their booth flea market!

The fees for a method to accept-by-phone credit card processing are often much less than a traditional merchant account. Not only is buying the equipment to process paper, but the monthly rates are usually lower. You can expect to pay a one-time fee to participate in the program, about $ 100 or so, and then a monthly fee of about $ 5. When you process credit cards by phone, each transaction will be discounted by the discount rate (usually about 3-4% of transaction price).

In recent years the number of fraud caused by the doubling of the magnetic stripe of credit cards has been so alarming that the EU has decided to implement a new security system. The new credit cards with chip is much more difficult to duplicate and remove the chip card, as was done with the magnetic stripe as a component of plastics, is more complicated task for the burglars.

In Spain, the introduction of smart cards has been done gradually, but as of January 1, 2011 all credit cards and debit cards must incorporate the chip. This measure increases the security of credit cards, since it is widely known that the weak point of credit cards has always been its magnetic strip, where they collected data from the cardholder.

In principle all the terminals of the shops and all ATMs must be adapted to read smart cards. This implies, first, that it is not necessary because the magnetic strip cards and that when we pay in shops, we enter the PIN of the card is no longer necessary to sign the receipt.

But then, why not suppress the magnetic stripe on credit cards?. Very simple: the credit card chip is not yet established in many countries outside Europe. Thus, if we are to travel to the U.S. and we use our credit card there must be hopelessly magnetic stripe.

Having a credit card with magnetic stripe is further exposed to fraud. Therefore, the Organisation of Consumers and Users (OCU) has been addressed to governments and major financial institutions to consider issuing cards without chip and magnetic stripe to customers who request it. As you get to the banks and access to this request, it should take into account a minimum security measures that will find useful tips to credit card transactions.
