When you make the purchase you debit the appropriate expense or asset account for $1,000 and credit current liabilities. As you make payments, you debit current liabilities for the principal portion of the payment, debit interest expense for the interest portion, and credit cash for the amount of the payment.
If this is all Greek to you, consider a consultation with a CPA or EA who specializes in small business accounting and taxation to get set up on a bookkeeping system.

About your credit, if you've had this card a decent amount of time and have shown the unblemished history you report, you should calll their customer service and throw yourself at the mercy of the person who answers. Tell them honestly what happened, and ask them to look at your payment history and see that it is completely out of character for you. Ask that they accept another payment, and tell them you are cancelling the original check. If you can pay them immediately by debit or other means, do so. They really might take the blot off your credit rating if you do it once and never again. It worked for me. Don't forget to cancel that check at the bank. I feel for you, I have been there, but my credit card company was surprisingly nice about it. Good luck!

Those are fair points. I’m not defending them but I think this is why they created the device:
1). Yes you can, but it’s faster to swipe. In a retail setting, some people get nervous when they read their number out loud or if a cashier has to manually enter a number.
2). Snapping a picture is an interesting way to do this. The Square, makes it possible to quickly receive the numbers via a phone, or, in the future, from any device w/ a 3.5 mm jack (no camera required).

They are marketing this device specifically for the iphone though, which does have a camera.
There’s already software to read barcodes with the camera,
so you can check prices in the stores and
get comparison prices from other stores.
Desktops don’t have a minijack that you can use for this anyway.
There it would need usb or firewire.

isn’t it 2.9%?

Call the credit card company and let them know that you realize you've missed two payments, but you're sending one in now. They'll be happy you called (if not, hang up on her) and even more happy that you now have to pay the added late fees and finance charges.
August 29th, 2010 at 7:53 pm
No, not unless it becomes a habit and they can see a pattern in late payments. Your late charge fee wiped out your payment. I had a 10.00 min payment due one time and was late. I got charged 25.00 late fee.

True, but not all devices have cameras. iPad, iPod Touch, and even some desktops/laptops.
They may have considered the idea, but I think the 3.5mm jack is more prevalent than a camera.

Pointless device.
1 – You could just type in the credit card information manually. It’s the same.
2 – It would make WAY more sense to just snap a picture of the front of the credit card, and have the application recognize the credit card number from that picture. All existing and easy technology and no need for extra devices.

You have a couple of options.
Many Internet providers offer a checkout system for free or at minimal cost for the sites that they host. Mine does, although I don't use it because I don't sell anything.
If you are selling as an eBay shop, or even if you don't, then you can use PayPal for checking out and PayPal automatically accepts credit cards including Amex.
You can use a proprietary shopping basket checkout system through Yahoo or otherwise. Here's a specimen:
http://www.make-a-store.com/site/category/Yahoo_Software_Web_Service_Shopping_Cart_Software
I found it by Googling <Yahoo shopping basket>. There are a number of firms doing the same thing.
You can probably do it cheaper, maybe for free, with Yahoo! directly. Here't the link for that:
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/index.php
I don't think you ought to deal with credit card companies directly. You could easily get scammed by fraudsters using stolen or fake cards. The professionals take some or all of the risk off your hands, and they can check online for bad cards, and check addresses and CVV numbers and expiration dates.
Be careful: I would be cautious about shipping anything abroad except to Canada. And don't give refunds — especially for overpayments — until your bank tells you the money is cleared "without recourse", meaning no chargeback is possible.
Google <nigeria 419> and learn a bit about Internet scams, how even certified and cashiers checks, US postal money orders and Wal-Mart money orders are faked. Especially from overseas.

As long as it is not 30-days or more late they will not report it as late.

Those other responses didn't directly answer the question.
First, it is correct that paying more than the minimum *won't* affect your score. What you are trying to accomplish is to keep from being characterized by the CC companies as a struggling payer. The strategy is to pay the min plus a little while paying down other cards.
My experience is that paying an extra percent above the min will keep the CC software from identifying you as a "minimum only" payer. To be safe since some companies are bumping the min from 2.5% to 3%, I suggest you pay 4%.

how did you get a proto type?
September 1st, 2010 at 8:48 am
There are many things to consider in making that decision.
Do you have a shopping cart?
How fast do you want the funds into your acount?
Would you process the card over the internet or by phone?
You can get a complete package for the shopping cart and credit card processing. However, you need to consider a few things.
First. If you want the credit card sales to be automatically put into your bank account within 48hrs, PayPal is a bad option. It can take a few days for the transaction to hit your account and you must manually transfer the funds. A traditional merchant account will get the funds there quicker.
Second. PRICE. Make sure you are on the right pricing program. Will you be selling to businesses or individuals? You need to make sure and clarify the difference with the processor you choose.
Third. If you are taking your orders via the phone with just a informative website, all you need is a Virtual Terminal. Do not get a machine!
