Seasonal Credit Card Processing

If you are a seasonal merchant, or one who has a "one time" annual or special event, credit card processing is an absolute must to ensure you profit as much as possible with your venture. And at 1st National Processing, we have solutions for many popular seasonal credit card processing categories, including:

Arts and Crafts Credit Card Processing
Christmas Tree Credit Card Processing
Pumpkin Patch Credit Card Processing
Fireworks Stand Credit Card Processing
Special Event Credit Card Processing
Fundraising Credit Card Processing
Concert and Vending Credit Card Processing
Spring, Summer, and Fall Fairs Credit Cart Processing

Having reliable, easy to use, credit card processing equipment, and effective technical and merchant support is crucial. Of equal importance is the underwriting and risk management as it determines the amount of credit card processing volume, the size of each individual transaction, credit card fraud protection, and whether not funds will be held during and after the event. A failure with any one of these processes could have a negative impact on the merchants business and the overall success of the event.

Free Terminal Placements require that merchant pay for shipping & handling and deployment of the units.
Upon completion of the event, the merchant simply boxes up the unit(s), along with all cables and miscellaneous parts and returns them to 1st National.
Upon receipt and inspection of the credit card terminals and/or smart phone credit card processing devices along with a signed seasonal merchant account closure form, 1st National Processing will terminate the no contract merchant account and no early termination fee will be assessed.
Per the merchant’s request 1st National will also schedule to contact the merchant about a month prior to their next event in order to begin the process of reopening the merchant account with no contract.

Multi Year Seasonal Credit Card Processing Requirements?

For seasonal merchants interested in a Seasonal Credit Card Processing Account for multiple years in a row, the free terminal placement may not be the most cost effective way to operate. 1st National offers wholesale pricing and significant discounts on state of the art landline, portable and wireless credit card machines as well smart phone credit card readers and smart phone credit card readers with printers. By purchasing the credit card terminals or smart phone payment devices, the seasonal merchant with recurring annual events, will avoid having to pay download, deployment and shipping fees each and every time the units are shipped back and forth. For a Muti-Year Seasonal Credit Card Processing solution:

The merchant would simply call 1st National and sign the forms to have the no contract merchant account reopened and it will be live within 24 hours.
Terminals are then updated via a phone line or wireless connection (based on terminal type) and the merchant is no ready to process credit cards again.
In this scenario there are no merchant account set up fees, no download or deployment fees, no shipping and handling fees and since this is seasonal merchant account there are no closure fees or early termination fees.
And, as always, 1st National will gladly purchase units back at fair market value from Seasonal Merchants who have decided to discontinue their business going forward and no longer have the need for No Contract Credit Card Processing.
