A lot of Makers and Crafters I know often struggle to find a (cheap) way to take credit card payments on site if they sell goods at events/fairs/etc, there are a lot of companies that sell those hardware terminals, but many of them usually seem shady, take huge cuts and require a large monthly balance – maybe this is a solution. A $40 kit from Intuit called the “QuickBooks Credit Card Processing Kit” – available at Staples, Fry’s, Amazon, Sam’s Club and Office Depot turns your PC into a terminal. A card reader can be connected to the PC so you can just slide the card too. [via] Link. If someone checks this out, let us know.
