Is accepting credit cards neccessary?
The answer to this is simple: Yes. Think about how many items you buy each week which you really do not need. Then figure out how many of them bought by a credit card. It is a well-known fact that accepting credit cards online increases purchase rates up to 90% and that is the main reason why all retail stores accept credit cards. Since cash is not an option in the online world, and people do not use checks online, the only way to have business online is accepting credit cards.
