In Mexico it takes from 4 to 9 months to get a credit card terminal from the bank. You have to pay a monthly rent + a commission on every sale. If you don’t sustain a certain amount of transactions per month you get a penalty. You don’t get to move the terminal out of the store and it will only cover either visa and master card or American Express. All the other credit cards are out of reach. But if you decide to serve your clients and accept all credit cards, maybe in 1 year you will get all the terminals that you need but still the complexity of dealing with different commissions among the different credit cards. With all this hassle, who wants to get a credit card terminal? Only big medium and big companies.
