It is very important if you are running a business that you offer your customers a good range of easy payment options, as many sales will rely on the fact that the customer can choose the payment facility that suits them. In this day and age the vast majority of consumers rely on plastic cards to carry out their payments both online and for daily transactions in shops, stores and even restaurants, and so if you want to be competitive it is vital that you offer a secure plastic card processing option for your customers, whether you are running an online business or a regular bricks and mortar one.
Don’t forget that a relatively low percentage of online buyers will actually have an account with an online payment service such as PayPal, and although this is undoubtedly a cheap and easy way to offer secure payments through your website you could actually be losing out in the long run if you do not offer your customers any alternative secure ways to pay for their purchases.
Merchant Warehouse offers businesses the chance to take advantage of low cost, secure plastic card payment and processing facilities so that they can offer their customers the additional option to pay by credit or debit card, and has recently been awarded the ‘Credit Card Processing ISO of the Year’ (2009) by the Electronic Transactions Association’s (ETA), which is a highly regarded independent international trade association.
Merchant Warehouse provides your business with access to some of the lowest prices on the credit card machines that you will need to accept and process credit and debit card payments including credit card printers, wireless credit card terminals, IP terminals and PIN pads, and also provide a compact range of check readers that can be integrated with card processing equipment, which can help you to reduce the risks of check fraud by scanning all the checks (and also other MICR encoded documents) you receive and verifying them for you before you accept them.
