Hi! I am starting a small home business with my mother and we are curious how to get one of the black credit card machines to run credit cards from home - or is it easier to do it over the internet? Also, do you set up an account with the credit card companies? If someone has done this before, can you please explain the beginning of the setup to us please - Thanks so much ;).--Answer1:You should look into paypals program they have where you can enter someones credit card and process it through their site..--Answer2:I would recommend checking out www.godatawest.comThey can help you with the credit card processing either through a standalone terminal (the black machine), through your computer or even integrated with some cash registers.Processing directly is less expensive than going through paypal.
