hi lara
silver swan was talking about using credit cards. then the post to me. confusing. lol
stores have to have a credit card terminal to accept any type of card, wether debit or credit. our business only takes credit cards or the debit cards with the visa/mc logo. i haven't heard of a business only taking debit and not credit.
the rates we are charged as a business for taking the cards vary. actualy higher for debit. the reason why chose to get the terminal and account we did.
(ps...most people don't realize how much it costs a business to take credit cards. the fees are outragous.)
