This explains a few options when considering accepting credit cards over the phone. The main requirement is still some sort of merchant account on the back end that can get the transactions from the credit card accounts of your customers into your business checking account.
However, once that is setup, the phone can be used to authorize a transaction, or with an appropriate data plan, smart phone, and accessories, you can accept a swiped transaction right at the point of sale.
Accepting credit cards over the phone is relatively easy and you can leverage this if needed for the right situation in which you'll be away from your main place of inputting transactions and still be able to make sales and take credit cards.
I wish you the best with your business. If you're interested in working directly with me, call me 800-893-9540 or find me online at http://www.merchanthotline.com
