Credit Card Fees (PCI Compliance?)
Ok, I looked it up- it means whether or not you're complying with keeping your clients' credit card info secure or not. We don't even keep their info on hand- we use a knucklebuster, record the authorization code for each transaction, and shred the copy (the client keeps their copy). We don't even put the CC info on the computer here.
I looked it up, and level 4 merchants (those who process under a certain number of cc transactions in a year, like 20,000 I think- that would be us, I don't know how many you do) have different requirements than levels 1, 2, and 3 do. I would recommend calling your CC processing company and ask about this. From what I've seen, if you're a solo practitioner, unless you sell a LOT of product, you're considered a level 4 merchant. I'd check into ANY additional fees you didn't already know about and sign up for.
