Last post for the night
Heading out to the DaveCave(tm)
Got an early start tomorrow -- we are switching credit card factoring services and instead of shipping a pre-programmed card reader, they ship a virgin one and we have to leave it connected to our telephone line for abut 25 minutes. This means that we will be unable to process credit cards with our old system while this is going on.
Hella way to run a business but we do get very good rates and the service is otherwise excellent.
The reason for the switch is to add a check imager -- we have had a couple households move out of the area without telling us. They would write checks as normal and then all of a sudden, three or four of their checks would bounce and none of the contact information would work. This added up to about $2K since the beginning of the year so it is time to opt for plan B. This will add a 40 cent transaction fee but unless they are just buying a stick of gum, we should still come out ahead...
