Don't Lose the Sale!

Problem: Local artists were losing lucrative sales because they didn’t have a merchant account to accept credit cards.

Solution: COCA extended the use of our merchant account to members needing occasional, temporary access. Soon after, we realized some of our smaller cultural business members also needed access for workshop sales or single-event ticket sales.

The service is easy to use and doesn’t require any equipment other than a phone. After a brief training session at COCA, you’ll be up and running and ready to “take plastic.” (Some restrictions and fees apply.)

To learn more about COCA’s merchant account service, contact Holly Thompson at 850-224-2500 or holly@cocanet.org. This is just one of the benefits of COCA membership. See them all at http://www.cocanet.org/about/join.html.
