[TheForge] Merchant accounts

[Daniel Kretchmar]

I use Paypal on my website and for custom phone orders.  At events I use check
or cash.  There is another booth called "By my Hand Design" that is at all the
same events I am at.  They accept credit cards for me and several other
merchants.  We pay them the credit card service fee and also give them
consideration when it comes to orders from me to them. If someone wants to pay
for an item at a event with a card.  I send them over to "By my Hand" with an
invoice and they come back with a receipt and I hand over the item. It all
works out even in the end.
