For anyone running Into similar issues, it seems Mike is taking CC payments through email, after orders have been placed on the MA site. He was nice enough to email me this morning. Here is a snippet from the email.
"The ONLY way for me to take the customers orders is to let them try to order through the website. This way I have all their contact and order info....so I can contact them through both text and email, which I will do the same day they try to order. It is easy at that point...because they won't have to re-enter any of their information after I contact them....because I will already have it all written down in the email I send them.
The only reason it took longer to contact you is because we just started taking CC orders manually 2 days ago and I had a whole week's worth of orders to catch up on, but I am all caught up now...so everyone's order will be responded to the same day."
