Setting Up Your Retail Storefront

When preparing to set up your retail store with your credit card processing machine you need to consider a few things to make everything go smoothly.

If you have decided that you want to process PIN based debit transactions you will need to have the machine in a place where your customer's have access to the PIN Pad; this is used so the customer can enter their Personal Identification Number.

You will need to have the credit card machine in the same place as where your customers check out; having the machine across the store will take time for you and your staff to walk back and forth making your customers impatient,

You will need access to a telephone line, credit card machines can share a phone line via phone splitter; a lot of merchants tend to use the same phone line as their fax machine.

Hopefully these tips will help you when setting up your retail store.
