Accept Credit Cards with Laptop Processing
If you've been looking to accept credit cards away from the office but have concerns about the costs involved with conventional wireless equipment, then consider using your laptop computer.
All you need is a laptop, Internet access and a USB card reader to create an inexpensive wireless processing solution. It's best to have a wireless access card from a carrier such at AT&T, Sprint or Verizon as you'll always know you have internet access but with so wireless hotspots available these days, there's a good chance you can get by without one.
Most merchant service providers sell debit and credit card desktop software applications that will allow you to process Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB and Diners Club cards for merchants located in the U.S. In addition to replacing all of the functionality of traditional credit card terminal, this software can store credit card information for later processing. That's especially helpful when you deliver goods and services, either on a one-time basis or multiple times. It's also great for generating recurring credit card payments in either fixed or variable amounts.
Here's how it works
Just add a USB card reader to your laptop, open the credit card terminal software, swipe the card and type the amount you wish to charge along with the 3 digit CVV security number found on the back of the card holders card complete the required fields and press the send button.
The information is encrypted using 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. It's first sent to a transaction server and then on to the card issuer's bank. The card issuer's bank verifies the cardholder's identity and verifies if sufficient funds are available to cover the sale. The information is then sent back to you and an authorization number is issued. When using a virtual terminal, the transactions are automatically settled each day. In addition, you can also check the status of transactions, automatically bill customers for recurring charges, and run a variety of useful management reports.
Most software & USB card reader solutions will cost around $150 to $250 which is a bargain as most traditional wireless terminals cost $450 to $650. Not to mention, the additional monthly wireless connectivity fees needed to send the card data from a wireless terminal.
If you're not comfortable purchasing software and installing it on your computer don't worry...
You can even use an internet based virtual terminal system. You'll still use the usb card reader to swipe the card but rather than open software on your computer, instead, you'd log in through a web browser to access the interface where you'll enter and submit the card data.
So the next time you bring your laptop on the road with you to make your sales presentation why not just add a USB card reader and run the customers card on your portable credit card processing system the next time you close the sale?

by Mario Churchill
No matter where you search on the Internet today there are several advertisements for the best credit card deals. Some that offer low interest rates while others offer no payments for a year.
With so many credit cards available the best credit card deals are usually the ones that are offering incentives as well such as reward points, or air miles, anything of that nature.
However with the best credit cards available in such abundance it is actually rather hard to choose which one to go with. The best credit card values depend solely on what the credit card company has to offer so basically read the terms and the agreements and you should be able to come up with the best credit card deals.
If you own a company or a small business then obviously the best credit card deals for you would be those referenced for business. And these can be found simply by doing a search on the Internet. A note to the wise however, some of the best credit card deals have a catch so read up on them thoroughly.
Although, some of the best credit card deals actually come to your mailbox, offering different types secured, unsecured, or prepaid. In any case the best credit card deals are out there, you don't even have to look very hard for them.
In fact, another way to find out about the best credit card deals is through your email address, quite often credit card companies will send offers via the email account that you have placed on one advertising site or another.
If you aren't sure which credit card company has the best credit card deals then do a little research on the background of the company, compare different credit cards, believe me they are in abundance and used a lot today.
In all reality, the best credit card deals are those with low interest rates or fixed interest rates, those that offer points or cash back when you use the credit card, or those that are offered with minimal fees and requirements.
Nine times out of ten you will find the best credit card deals on the Internet through a search of some kind, whether you look up the actual name of a credit card provider or simply search unsecured or secured. Whatever your preference may be, the best credit cards will be listed among the results, however as previously stated, compare a few of the results to actually find the best credit card deal that suits your finances and your needs.

Apply Online for a Credit Card: It's Safer than Ever
Apply Online for a Credit Card: It's Safer than Ever
by Edward Vegliante
Applying for a credit card has never been easier. Thanks to the Internet, you can look through a wide variety of credit cards, choose the right one, and fill out an application right away. With today's security features, you don't have to worry about your information falling into the wrong hands. Here's what companies are doing to make applying online for a credit card safer than ever.
Online Security Features
Protecting your privacy is essential for credit card websites and issuers. Secure credit card websites use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This technology involves a complicated encryption program. It protects your information as it travels to the right place. SSL has been improved over the years; today's version makes it virtually impossible for the information to be intercepted.
To check for SSL, look carefully at your online credit card application page. The site's web address on the top of the page should begin with the letters https (as opposed to http ' the s indicates the security measures). Also, you should see a closed padlock on the screen. Many websites offer detailed information on their security plan. Click on the padlock or appropriate link to learn more about their safety features.
In many ways, it's actually safer to send in a credit card application through the Internet rather than the postal mail. Consider this: your personal data travels through cyberspace at lightning-speed. It lands, safely, in its appropriate destination in less than a second. If you send an application through the postal mail, it travels for days between places. Numerous hands handle the envelope. Every time it gets passed on, there are chances for identity theft or fraud to occur. For these reasons, you might be better off with an online credit card application.
Additional Online Benefits
Besides being safe, you'll enjoy other benefits when you apply online for a credit card. First, you'll have the chance to view many different offers. Credit card websites are organized into categories such as "low interest," "balance transfer," and "rewards." All you need to do is click on the type of card you're interested in and the various options will appear. You'll be able to see different credit cards right next to each other, making it easy to compare their features.
For many credit cards, after you send in the application, you'll get an email response. You'll know within minutes whether or not you've been approved. This is much faster than waiting weeks for the postal mail to arrive. It also lets you start planning how you'll use the credit card right away.
Filling out an application is just the beginning of what you can do online with your new credit card. You can sign up to receive your statements online. You'll also have the option of accessing your account online. Making payments, checking your balance, and redeeming your rewards can all be done with a few simple clicks of the mouse.
Applying online for a credit card is another convenient tool of today's society. With the safety features credit card sites use, you won't have to worry about your application falling into the wrong hands. And once the card is in your wallet, you can continue to manage the account through the Internet. It's safe, fast, and convenient.

4 Ways to Accept Credit Cards Directly to Your PayPal Account
4 Ways to Accept Credit Cards Directly to Your PayPal Account
by Egidijus Andreika
Accepting payments through credit cards online is a huge plus factor for any online merchant. Customers and potential clients, first and foremost, look for convenience and credibility when browsing websites they want to buy products or get services from. To gauge these factors, potential clients and customers look at one of the most basic components any reliable online merchant should have - an efficient and secure payment system.
