Printable versionAccept Credit Cards
Domestic or Foreign, with one Merchant Account
Being able to accept credit cards is an undeniable necessity in both retail and ecommerce businesses. The question is no longer whether or not to do so, but how to do so cost-effectively and in a way that best suits your business. Credit Card terminals have come a long way since Manual Imprinters, and the task of picking the right credit card processor can be a daunting one for merchants today. Below are some things to consider when deciding the best way to accept credit cards for your business, and how Planet Payment can help best meet your credit card acceptance needs:
- Do you want a physical terminal or virtual terminal? Our Multi-Currency processing solutions work seamlessly with both.
- Are you on the go with your business? Do you require a wireless terminal? If so, our Payment BuyVoice solution lets you accept credit card payments using your cell phone – without the added cost of a wireless terminal.
- Do you have international customers? Our Pay in Your Currency solution lets you offer these customers with foreign credit cards the option to pay in their own currency at time of purchase – while you still receive payment in US dollars – all without outside foreign banks, wire transfer fees – and within the structure of your current banking infrastructure. Pay in Your Currency also offsets the cost of credit card processing, with revenue received for each foreign transaction made.
- Do you have customers that make recurring purchases? Managing your subscription billing and customer notification is easy through our secure, iPAY payment gateway.
- Are you strictly bricks ‘n mortar, or do you have an ecommerce site as well? Our Multi-Currency Pricing solution lets e-merchants price and sell goods in multiple currencies, while still receiving payment and settlement in their own.
Accepting credit cards isn’t enough. You need to understand your business, and our Reporting and Data Analytics can also be an important, added value when you accept credit cards. Our reporting solution seamlessly collects data from disparate systems, operations and geographic locations – providing cohesive, in depth reporting of credit card transactions at the touch of a button. These reports can be vital in evaluating your customers and ascertaining which markets to target.
