MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted May 12, 2014 In my other topic "Credit Card Readers Paypal" a member posted about checks, which was great advice. However I'm curious how many of us accept checks at shows? Do you take checks, why or why not? Do you have a price limitation? Do you only accept local checks?

joker 618 Posted May 12, 2014 No on the checks unless i know them.. My wife does craft shows all year and uses the square for everything. If they can write checks then they have a check card.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neuromax 97 Posted May 12, 2014 No checks for me either unless I know them at shows. From businesses, I have no problem taking checks. Squre also just recently announced an 'offline' way of still taking cards when you have no or poor cell service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted May 12, 2014 I along the road near my house where a guy was selling wind art. My wife liked one that was a couple hundred dollars. I bought one from him and asked if he took checks. He said yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted May 12, 2014 Not always true I know people that don't have a check card cause they had issues with bounced checks. Then that might be a good indicator of why it is not safe to take checks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadHatterGraphix 1,258 Posted May 12, 2014 I don't even have checks I use my Bank debit or my Paypal card for everything. Why bother with checks and cash. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted May 12, 2014 I will take checks if someone is placing an order at a show, but I don't ship until the check clears. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 14, 2014 I take checks from very few businesses and churches but almost never a personal check. Had 1 written on a closed acct. a couple years ago and I still feel the sting everytime someone wants to use a check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 14, 2014 I don't take personal checks unless its someone I am comfortable giving the graphic to. I don't even have checks I use my Bank debit or my Paypal card for everything. Why bother with checks and cash. I don't have checks either (for the business) I use the card mostly and whenever I have cash I use that too, I want to use it up while it's still worth something!
