It's much better and cheaper to own your own equipment than to rent it from your credit card merchant service provider. Getting your own credit card terminal should be one of the top items you're looking for as a new start up business or as a way to boost your sales if you don't already take credit. Occasionally, you can find used credit card terminals or refurbished models at craigslist, amazon or other online sites as well.
Credit card terminals are fairly easy to set up, arrive with a manual of instructions, some set up through your merchant services provider, others don't require a merchant provider, require a phone line and power line and these follow all updated privacy laws to keep you and your business legal. Prices of credit card terminals varies so realize that the most basic features cost less while the faster machines with more features will cost more. You always get what you pay for and cc terminals are no different than other restaurant or small business equipment. Don't forget to buy your credit card terminal paper!
