ROL NEWS--RCS Now Accepts Major Credit Cards

It is if you wanted to order with a credit card from RCS in the past. RCS was only doing Paypal or check/MO before and there are some people that refuse to do Paypal or don't have Internet access.

I'm sure RCS needs to take credit cards now since they will be selling all of the Aerotech stuff.

Worthy of front page press release on ROL?...gimme a break. Lots of rocketry businesses decide to get merchant accounts, big deal. Besides that, Gary already was able to take credit cards previously under the Aerotech name, so I'm sure it was no big personal hurdle or accomplishment.

Wahoo everybody...Gary switched his merchant account over to RCS!

Like ROL kissing Gary's ass for example?

I wonder when RCS will can the Aerotech website and bring it inhouse to the RCS website ?

It doesn't have to. It is like the usrockets deal now. It is a brand.

Gary is like Jerry :)

Humm, I know it was not the $13 a month for the merchant account keeping him from doing it.

It must have been the cost for setting up a real website shopping cart on the RCS domain. Much more costly.

So, since very few probably ordered RCS parts, compared to Aero-tech motors, it probably made no since to e-enable the RCS website until the revenue stream came in to make it worht while.

that would be my take on it.

Is there some other, more pressing rocketry news that should have been there? If not, what's the problem?

No problem. Just found it amusing that getting a credit card machine reprogrammed from one company name to another was big news, but that's just me.

Mike Fisher

That's old news.

Why should they? I believe the Aerotech name was one of the things RCS bought. Many businesses have websites under multiple brand names.

There is no shopping cart on the Aerotech web site either, yet they accepted credit cards.

A lot of small retailers pay for inventory via credit cards, so RCS needed to be able to take credit cards.
