New Iphone Swiper for photographers
August 12, 2010 – 2:41 pm
For those of you that have to have a swiper solution on the go we have finally brokered a deal for you. Buy the Iphone Swiper Here and contact us to get you set up.
This is a real processing account with all the benefits and safety of a traditional credit card processing account. Square is not such a solution. Square is not a true credit card processing platform, its made for individuals running garage sales, not businesses that need the benefits of accounts made for business.
Reasons not to go with the square.

Dont Fall for the 1 Rate promise Get the Facts
March 22, 2010 – 1:13 pm
I talked with a “Well Known” photographer around June of 2009. We talked about what I could offer as far as rates. For many photographers cost plus pricing can be a little more compilicated, but once you understand it, it becomes obvious why we offer this kind of pricing. You get a much better deal! This photographer was promised one rate flat. You cant get any easier to understand 1 rate, but the fact is they were lied to. There is more than 1 rate. This photographer unfortunately took this processor at his word and was lied to. The problem is they are now locked into a 3 year agreement with the processor and are paying in many instances double. It happens a lot because many credit card processing company’s lie to get the deal.
If you see any of the following you might want to read more:
1. Contracts- If a processor is giving you a good deal on rates they wont have you sign a contract. They know you will stay around when you get great customer service and the best rates.
2. Monthly Minimum Charges- Processors know smaller/home based business may have months where they do not charge the minimum amount. They then have a fee for not reaching it that is charged to you.
3. Cancellation Fee- Many processors have a 250-500 dollar cancellation fee to dissuade you from leaving
Photography Merchant Systems charges has No Contracts, No Cancellation Fee, and No Monthly Minimums.
Recovering From WPPI
March 11, 2010 – 1:39 pm
What an amazing week that was. Many great presenters and photographs. I was able to meet a few clients which was great. I also was able to see a few clients receive rewards for their photographs. I think I saw at least 3 or 4 of Susan Stripling Photography with awards, so congrats to her and all of the other photographers who won awards.
It was also nice to see my clients A & A Photography’s platform class and Ben Chrisman spoke as well at one of the booth’s. New client Bauman Photography also had an impressive class and used his new credit card processing terminal to run all of his credit cards.
I also had a chance to stop by my partners Shoot Q and Red Carts booth as they were signing up many new clients along with brand new client GoBee as they were selling boxes full of their great bags to happy customers.
There are already 10 applications in from after the show and looking forward to taking care of the rest of you all who are signing up. Now back to work to catch up.

Add to that the incredible wisdom and talent that is being shared in the one-on-one mentors sessions and you have better and more successful photographers!

New Twitter Landing Page
February 9, 2010 – 10:16 pm
I just customized the landing page to be a little more stylish than the stock one given to you by twitter. I have also added a Twitter Status up by my bio. Friend us if you are a client or want updates. I don’t just twitter about credit card stuff, anything photography related hints, tips, and other things I run across.
