What’s the real deal about handheld credit card processing devices?
I have a small business with very minimal credit card usage. I bought a handheld swiper from Propay online thinking it would be just fine for my usage…and am being told by a guy who sells much more expensive machines that mine will be not usable in about 6 months because of some new laws and that Visa is cracking down on the swipe and transfer data via internet or cell phone type credit card processing that I bought. Any idea if this guy is just trying to sell me with the fear tactic- that mine will be obsolete…or if it’s a legitimate point he is making.
