Credit Card Processor for Small Business
Finding a reliable, secure, and flexible payment processing
solution for your business is critical, so it’s important to
take the time to investigate and assess the options available
to you. A payment processing solution should:
- Reliably and cost-effectively accept and process a
variety of payment types, including credit cards and
electronic checks. Not only does this reduce lost sales, but
it also enhances the quality of your site by allowing your
customers the freedom and flexibility to pay you quickly and
conveniently.
- Provide real-time credit card authorization results
allowing you to accept or reject orders immediately and
reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions.
- Easily track and manage payments from multiple payment
types or processors so you can spend more time on your
business, not on managing transactions.
- Be able to act as a virtual terminal to allow for
processing offline transactions. This gives you the
flexibility to process orders received via telephone, fax,
email, or in person.
- Provide and store transaction records letting you easily
search for transactions and create transaction reports.
- Scale rapidly and seamlessly to accommodate increased
transaction volumes so your systems grow as your business
grows.
- Provide flexible, easy integration with the Merchant’s
Web site. The sooner you can start accepting payments, the
sooner you start generating revenue from your site.
- Provide standard processing level anti-fraud features
such as CSC and AVS.
- Offer the option to seamlessly upgrade to card-sponsored
Buyer Authentication programs such as MasterCard SecureCode
and Verified by Visa to provide merchant protection against
credit card fraud liability.
- Offer comprehensive online fraud protection feature
options that protect your online business from fraud. These
options should be integrated seamlessly into the payment
processing solution. Most importantly, these options should
be cost-effective and simple to understand, so that you
don’t waste valuable time and money while protecting your
online business against fraud.
- Provide recurring billing payment services. This allows
you to set up recurring charges for your customers. For
example, you can set up automatically recurring charges for
items such as membership dues or installment payments.
Recurring billing is an important feature that provides
added convenience for both you and your customer.
- Be able to work with all the leading Internet Merchant
Accounts, which allows you to switch your banking
relationship and not have to worry about installing new
software or performing new integrations.
- Be provided by a well-established and trustworthy
company. This ensures that your payment service
provider will continue to provide reliable payment services
as well as new features.
