“Do you accept credit card payments?”
It’s a pretty common question these days. A prospective customer will make a phone call to a plumber or an electrician or even to a doctor’s office and ask. Sometimes it will be one of the deciding factors in whether the customer will hire that company or physician’s practice.
It’s just a fact now that most people don’t want to stuff their wallets with cash, and they find the little plastic cards more convenient than writing a check. Besides, most of the time with checks they have to record their phone number on it, dig out their driver’s license for identification, and take the time to write in all of the information.
People are all about the convenience these days, especially when they shop.
