As I expand into lawncare, it seemed to me that it would be great to accept credit cards. However as I have NOT been doing this with my (part-time) stone works, I'm not sure what the fees or other interested in hearing from the veteran LCOs:
1. What is the fee charged for offering this service, e.g., MC/VISA's cut. Do you just add that percentage to the customer's invoice?
2. Do you find that customers prefer this vs. a monthly invoice, or vice-versa?
3. Do you think that accepting CC's gives any sort of an edge to you?
I'm interested in this because Check/Debit cards are so convenient and are accepted at so many places that I hardly carry much cash anymore.
Thanks for any replies.
