IMPORTANT PAYMENT POLICY UPDATE
Unfortunately, due to a recent fraudulent charge dispute, Coastal Whisk & Catering NSB is making changes to our payment policy, effective immediately.
At a recent market, a customer purchased $128 worth of products from my booth and then disputed the transaction within minutes of walking away.
The products were gone, the payment was taken back, and I was also required to pay an additional $25 fee to challenge the dispute—only to be unsuccessful in recovering the money for the products that were purchased.
For a small business, a loss like this matters. Every product on my table represents ingredients, hours of preparation, baking, packaging, and hard work.
UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE:
• Credit cards will no longer be accepted.
• Debit cards will continue to be accepted.
• Venmo will continue to be accepted.
• All card transactions will require a customer signature.
I truly hate having to change the way I accept payments because of one unfortunate situation, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my customers.
Thank you to the overwhelming majority of you who continue to support my small business with honesty, kindness, referrals, recommendations, and repeat business. I appreciate you more than you know.
