Say you are about to start a new retail business and you want to accept credit cards. With all the options available, what route do you take?

1. go through your mega-bank, i.e. Capital One
2. use a specialty company


1. phone line terminal
2. internet based terminal

Any suggestions would be helpful

Not an expert in this - but I believe that Sam's Club and Costco offer this service also.

Don't know if this matters to you, but now you can even get a little gizmo that plugs into a USB port so you can swipe a card on your iPhone or Droid.

BTW do something unlike the rest of small businesses and READ your agreement. I want to slap someone when I see them take CC and have a minimal charge sign. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT!

I use Paypal virtual terminal but I only do a few credit card transactions per month. It's a $30 monthly fee and 2-3% per transaction.
