Hi Glenn,

I'll check those companies out. Do you have a web site for medasyst? Mike also suggested them.

Thanks!

Alex


>Hi Alex,

>Yes there are software solutions. ICVerify, PCCharge, and a system from Medasyst Inc. all have PC based CC systems. You would not even have to have a swiper, but it would cost less per transactions and it is more accurate. A swiper doesnt cost much and if you wrote your POS software you wouldn't even need a cash register.

>>I have a question that I'm sure someone might have come accross; especially those of you that work on POS systems.
>>
>>We own a store, which we're in the process to move to a larger space (yesidoinvitations.com for the curious ones) and it appears that for about 3 weeks we will have to have two locations open at the same time.
>>
>>The only problem we have with this is that we need two Credit Card machines for no more than a month.
>>
>>I would like to know if any of you know of a company that would be willing to rent us one of these gizmos for such a short period or if there is a software solution, and something that could be used from VFP would be great as that way I could write a quick and dirty cash register system that interfaces with the credit card validator.
>>
>>We already bought the credit card machine we have at the current location and right now don't need to buy another one to use just for a month (much less sign one of those 3-year leases - especially because we HATE renting stuff).
>>
>>Please let me know if you have any ideas.
>>
>>Thank you so much!!!!
