With Payment Solutions, You Won’t Have to Arm Wrestle Your Clients for Cash Anymore
Whether you’re selling services or goods, it’s important to make it easy for your clients and customers to pay you the way they want to pay.
We understand that credit card terminals, gateways, and merchant banks can be both costly and confusing, but we assure you: accepting credit cards is worth the cost.
Not only are potential clients more likely to view you as a reputable business owner when you accept credit cards, your customers are also likely to spend more because they’ll give in to impulse purchases when they shop with their credit cards.
Impulse purchases can increase spending by a whopping 250%, so if you’re ready to make more off of your business, it’s time for you to learn about payment solution options for your Sage ERP.
Let’s get to it.
What’s a Payment Solution?
Simply put, a payment solution is any software that empowers you to collect payment from more than just cash and checks.
Some payment solutions solely process credit and debit cards, others accept gift certificates, mobile wallet payments, and more. These days there’s probably a payment solution that makes it easy for your business to accept Bitcoin, but we don’t offer one of those solutions at ISM (yet).
When choosing a payment solution for your business, it’s important to balance cost, flexibility, and future capabilities so that you can get the most from your investment over time.
Popular payment solutions include:
Sage Payment Solutions
