Pricing

‍The decision to move from your current processor to a new one comes down to price. It is important for the merchant to know their fees and understand where they can minimize their costs. The merchant is then able to make an informed decision and choose the payment processor with the right fees. The merchant must also make sure that the pricing is transparent with no hidden costs.

Customer Service Support

‍Do you have exceptional customer and technical support from your current processor? Merchants have frequent tasks such as reconciliation and representments as well as less frequent tasks such as technical integration. In both cases a merchant irrespective of its size need a good level of service to be able to proceed with their day-to-day operation. Processing online payments is challenging and reliable, responsive customer support is essential. The processor should provide 24/7 technical support, customer support that is able to answer day-to-day questions as well as a dedicated account manager that will give consultative advice.
