How to start recharge card printing business – basic information

For starting your printing business, you will need the pin codes that will be printed on the vouchers. Usually, you should be able to get them from the major dealers, who will sell you them for a reduced price. Most often, the pins are sent via e-mail, so you can easily try to find a dealer online. However, you should always triple-check their reliability before registering with them. Once you register, you will have to provide the proof of your identity and purchase a minimal amount of pins.

The payment for your pin codes has to be done through the bank. The dealer will provide you with the bank account where you have to transfer money. Afterwards, you will get an e-mail with the pin codes that you have purchased. It is strongly recommended to access them on your personal computer and not the Internet cafe, especially if there is a chance you will forget to log out afterwards. If you are working with a local dealer, they can provide you with the pins by meeting up with you in your local city and giving you a CD or flash drive.
What are the primary tools for starting the business? You will not need a lot of special tools for this business. You should only make sure that you have the following:

A working laptop or computer with stable internet connection.
Valid e-mail address.
Recharge card printing machine.
A3/A4 paper for printing out the recharge cards.
Software for de-encrypting the pin codes which are sent to you.
Starting capital.

In case you are confused about printing your cards, you should not worry – there are a few options that would be perfect for you. You can print your pin codes online, use special software, or e-pin manager. If you are unable to afford the expensive computers or printers, you can receive a special device from the major card dealer which will allow you to print out your vouchers. Internet connection will not be necessary for printing out cards, but is crucial for your business, because if you are dealing with someone who is far away from you, you will need the Internet to keep in touch with them.
