Getting Paid

Accept credit card payments on the go

With the ProPay MicroSecure Card Reader, there's no need to write down credit card numbers when you are selling on the road. It fits in a pocket and stores up to 71 credit card numbers, each encrypted with a different algorithm. Connect it to a computer's USB port when you get back to the office, and it will upload the payments and credit them to your account. The reader costs $149.95, and accounts start at $34.95 a year. Per-transaction charges are 3.5 percent plus 35 cents; charges drop for larger accounts.
