Yes, all vendors are responsible for accepting payments for your sales. JN Long will not accept payments on your behalf. Please make sure you have proper signage at your table for the different ways you will accept payments for your customer. Many vendors use Square readers to take credit card payments. It’s a user friendly device and app that allows you to take credit card payments using your smart phone. You can get the square online or at many local stores. Wi-fi is not available outside and is spotty in the gym. We encourage vendors to use their wireless service. Venmo app and Zelle are very popular ways to accept payment from customers and may increase your sales.
