Hi all,

I am looking for an easy way to accept credit cards as payment when I am at a craft show. Sometimes there is no electricity in the booths. Is there a machine that you can take anywhere and still be able to proccess the charge?

The only one I can think of is a manual one that carbon copies the numbers of the CC and the customer signs. I've used them before, but I have no idea where to find them. It would mean though you would have some work to do at home on the computer that evening, but it would work.

I think I remember someone talking about a CC machine that does not need to be plugged in. I may have seen one as well at the Farmers Market.

I hope you find something soon!! If I find out where to get those manual ones, or find the other one, I'll let you know!
