When it comes to who your payment processor is you have a lot of choices. Picking the right one for your business can go a long way towards making and keeping your business profitable. Do you choose a franchise processor or go with an independent processor? You have a choice and making the right choice can help to save you a lot of frustration.
What factor is most important for you and your business: Is it the fees that the processor charges? Is it the tech support or customer service the processor can offer? Is it the infrastructure between your business, the POS terminal and the processor? Is it all three? Is it something else?
Fees
For many businesses the fee that is charged is important to them. It is money out of their pocket after all and goes against the bottom line. It is something that is quantifiable. Fees can vary so knowing what they are allows you to plan so make sure that your processor clearly defines the fee structure so that there are no surprises.
Solving Problems
Problems will happen and depending on your business type problems may happen more often then you like. When that problem happens how easy is your processor to get a hold of? If they are not available to you to solve those issues, you picked the wrong processor.
Infrastructure
Of course when a customer wants to pay with a credit card you want that transaction to go through. The customer does not get what they want and you, the merchant, do not get paid for your work. If the infrastructure that makes that happen does not work there will be problems and it will hurt your business. Working with the right processor can help to make the transaction process go smoothly and help you get paid for your labor.
What processor is right for you? The processor which charges the lowest fees may not always be the right one. There is much more that goes into choosing the right payment processor for you and just because a processor has the lowest rates does not mean that they excel in other areas. Customer service and tech support may not seem important at first but when you need them, you want them to be there for you.
