Trade Shows Feedback: There are three ways to accomplish this. If the trade show has phone line access you can open a merchant account and have a terminal to swipe cards at. The other is with a wireless credit card terminal. This is a normal terminal you see in most small stores but does not need to be connect to a phone line. It has a built in cell phone in simple terms. The last option is for wifi. I am in the merchant services industry and i deal with a lot of people that do trade shows. Most trade shows have wifi which is wireless internet. If you have a labtop you could get a web based program to accept credit cards. They are pretty simple to use, just enter the customers information and 1-2 days later the money is in your account. Hope this helped
