Random question regarding craft show

[Tom.1946]

You decide to do a craft show for the first time.
And you sell a pen...
1. Do you charge cash only.....
2. I don't use PayPal so how do you use it for someone wanting to pay this way?
3. They want to pay by debit/credit card how do you set that up and what is the cost involved??

All things a newbie needs to know, so any advice would be appreciated....

Thanks just was asked why I don't do them so a bit daunting...

1. When I did craft shows I only took cash, though I didn't have anything priced over £50, and I always knew where the nearest cash machine was.
2. In 5 years nobody mentioned using Paypal
3. Use a card reader for debit/credit cards such as Sumup, Square, etc. Check out costs involved with each, also mobile phone signal or wifi
wherever you go, they need these to work, might not be worth it for just a few show
4. Don't forget insurance, Public and Product Liability is a must.

Thank you very much for your reply...

I use sum up and they have just started allowing you to take Paypal as well. Just pay for the machine and a very small fee for each transaction. I use to only do cash but since using Sunup sales have increased as many people do not carry a lot of cash.
As already stated it does require a phone signal
