What spices do I use in processing my own pork sausage?
Q. I am attempting to process my own pork and need to know what spices to use in doing so. I can not find detailed information on the internet so thought I would come here to see if anyone can help me. The meat needs to be processed today so any immediate help would be greatly appreciated. Note: it is Wild Hog meat that I am processing. Did not know if that made a difference or not. It is relatively tasteless as it is. If you can help, please e-mail with the requested information. Thanks!

A. Salt, pepper, marjoram, sage, and thyme in combination to taste are all good. You can also add in some tarragon too.

How many Payment Processing services for a merchant account?
Q. How many payment processing options should a merchant account provider offer to the merchants? Is credit/debit card processing good enough or should other payment options like Ach processing, direct debit etc should also be provided?
Asked by fReeSpiRit - Tue Aug 14 01:26:07 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, it is better to have all the possible payment processing methods available namely; credit card, debit card, check, electronic check, and wire transfer. If you can offer all of these, then, you can cater to all the needs of merchants. I also, suggest that you offer unlimited volume transaction so you can cater to high volume businesses. Ideally, you've got to offer five.

What are some of the hidden credit card processing surcharges I need to know?
Q. I just got my first credit card processing monthly statement bill and it was way up high than I expected. I scrutinized the items and I discover I incurred surcharges. What are some of the hidden surcharges I need to know?
Asked by Eleanor - Thu Aug 16 23:10:10 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Check the contract you signed. There should be a schedule of your rates and fees attached. You need to call your credit card processor's customer service number and have them review your statement with you in detail to make sure you were charged correctly. The main reason most merchants pay more than they expect is because they expect to be charged the rate quoted. That only happens when the transaction is "qualified". That means that the transaction is swiped and reads in the machine and the card itself is not subject to surcharges, such as an airline mileage card in some cases. If the magnetic stripe doesn't read or it is a phone order and you have to key the card number the transaction downgrades and surcharges apply. That is… [cont.]

A. Not sure what you mean .. the definition of 'paper free' implies 'electronic (scanned) image' which in turn implies some sort of 'image management' system ... There are hundreds of DIMS offerings .. they go by different names depending on the 'focus' and how well integrated they are with MS Office etc .. for example, some focus on simple work-flow by the passing of 'links' via your existing email system, whilst others are complete 'suites' of software with their own private (proprietary) 'repositories' (archives & on-line databases) and require you to install specialist applications on every users PC (so they can impose Security and Audit Trails). ..

A. It's not likely that you'll see this anytime soon. Each individual software program would have to be rewritten to distribute the work. And, for example, Adobe isn't gonna spend the money to rewrite Photoshop to do this without seeing any demand for it.

Q. I have a debit card that I use a lot, and I've noticed that on my online banking that certain places are charging me $1.00 processing fee. What is that and why do they charge me this fee? Should I always choose credit instead of debit so I don't have to pay the processing fee? I get it alot at gas stations and a few other places.
Asked by lily325 - Wed Jan 21 11:08:46 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Processing fees are allowed for a bank debit card for any place outside of the cards network. So you can read the fine print on the cards agreement to find out who is allowed to do that and or apply for a mutual credit/debit card. (debit card w/Visa stamped right on it) or just use a credit card. Also, if you get a cash advance or buy lottery tickets they will charge you $10 for a cash advance fee.

A. I think high rates and charges are one of the obvious signs of a poor echeck processing provider. Their sales people pressure you into subscribing to the service with their glib talks. You better compare echeck processing companies before making a choice. Also, examine the software and try a demo. If it is intuitive and easy to understand, then you can make a decision.
