It has been a long time coming but I finally found a credit card system that works like a charm here in Bahia Asuncion....now that we have a new high speed internet provider...also a dream come true for streaming Netlix!

I found the CLIP system at Coppel and it works perfectly for our guests here at the Bufadora Inn who run out of cash. I do charge a 3% surcharge to use it but people are very happy with the option to use a credit card.
Here is Bajafam momma who was our first credit card user!

But Shari, I am always prepared to sign a personal I.O.U.!

No soft ware, no bank fees, no deposit to make....what could be easier?

Hey Shari,

Not for sure if you already know this but if you don't...be sure to tell your clients the name "Clip" will come across as the charge on their credit card, not the name of your business. I almost denied a charge due to I did not recognized the charge.

I check my credit card charges daily so the charge was still in the pending status. I called our credit card company to ask what is "Clip" and was told the charge is coming across as a furniture/appliance store so I had the credit card company put a hold on our card/charge.

Thank goodness I remember about an hour later it was the long term parking company at the SJD airport..."Anchor Storage "!!! I then called the credit card company to release the hold and pay the charge.

I mentioned this to the guy at Anchor Storage, to which he said...yes it happens a lot. I asked him..."why don't you tell you clients the charge will come across as "Clip"? He just shrugged his shoulders.
