If you’re a regular reader of this blog, then you are well aware that I make homemade jewelry and other crafts and sell them from home. Lately this endeavour hasn’t really been working out in my favour. I have sold a few pieces of jewelry and a couple of quilts, but I really don’t have the business that I would like to have.

One thing that I have done is set up a dedicated website to sell my crafts from. I have managed a few sales through this website, but to increase sales, I’m thinking that I’ve got to bump things up a bit. One of the things that I have been looking at to increase sales is to start using a website credit card payment processing system. I have heard that by using credit cards to get payments from customers you can increase business. I have been checking out the www.braintreepaymentsolutions website to see what it would take for me to be able to start accepting credit cards as payment. It seems to be a very straightforward process and I have decided to try this out. Hopefully by offering the option to used credit cards, I can start having the sales that I’ve always dreamed about.
