card payments.

[repsol]

hi, i've just started my own motorhome hire business working from my home. i want to accept card payments both over the phone and in person to hopefully generate more income. do i need a card machine like the shops have. how do i go about setting this kind of thing up.
what are the costs likely to be as just now things are quite slow and i don't want to throw money about if it is not going to be worthwhile.
hope someone out there can advise me.

You can use a virtual terminal instead of a card machine this way you can be mobile and no need for the expense of the machine.
