Credit Card Payment Service
The majority of people prefer to pay with plastic these days, so to make your trip less of a hassle and more profitable, we have decided to offer all vendors the ability to accept credit/debit cards. A table will be set up near the entrance for any customer who wishes to make a purchase with a credit card. Once you and the customer have agreed on the sale, send the customer to this table with a receipt for the merchandise they wish to purchase from you. We will run their card and give them a voucher to give to you as payment. At the end of the day, you will turn in all of your vouchers to the front table and receive payment from the KRBE. We will be charging a service fee to the customer, but not to you, the vendor. You will receive payment in full for all of your sales. If you have your own method of accepting credit/debit cards, please feel free to use it, we simply want to help the vendors who do not.
