ProPay - Transactions at Shows and Parties
by Rena Klingenberg
I've been using ProPay to accept credit card payments for my jewelry for several years.
Readers often ask me these questions about using ProPay:
- How do you use ProPay to take credit cards at shows and parties, especially when there is no wireless connection available?
- Have you ever had any problems with using ProPay to accept credit cards? And are you still satisfied with their service?
- I know I don't need to have a credit card imprinter with ProPay transactions, but I want to use one anyway. Where can I get a credit card imprinter and supplies?
Answers:
Using ProPay to Accept Credit Cards
for Your Jewelry Business
© by Rena Klingenberg; all rights reserved- At shows and parties, you can process credit card payments with your ProPay account via your cellphone or laptop computer.
You can use ProPay at shows even when you don't have either a cellphone or wireless service for your computer:
Simply write up the customer's sale as usual (I use a book of 2-part carbonless receipts, available at office supply stores), and write down the customer's name, credit card #, credit card expiration date, and zip code (ProPay requires the zip code as a security feature to process the charge).
I give them the white part of the receipt and I keep the yellow copy.
Then when you get home, log into your ProPay account online and enter the charge manually.
- Yes, I'm still satisfied with ProPay's service. I've been using it to accept credit cards for several years now - and I've never had any problems with their service, nor with accepting credit card payments from my customers.
If you're not already accepting credit cards for your jewelry sales, I encourage you to get going with it as soon as possible. My jewelry sales took a huge leap when my customers could start paying with plastic!
- You don't need to use a credit card imprinter when you use ProPay, but if you want to use one anyway, you can get the imprinter and supplies at Mr. Imprinter.
Also check eBay for credit card imprinters and supplies.
(I have no affiliation with ProPay - I'm just a satisfied customer and have found it to be a great resource for small jewelry businesses.) More info:Accepting Credit Cards for Your Jewelry Business. People are much more likely to buy when they don't have to shell out the cash or have their checkbook handy.
