1. Mobile Browser Payments

Mobile browser-based payments are payments made from customers when they visit a website and pay for goods or services. This type of mobile transaction occurs when a customer pays for a website purchase with a credit, debit,  or gift card. The customer adds a product to a shopping cart and enters payment details into the site’s checkout form to complete a purchase. It’s as simple as that!

2. In-App Mobile Payments

Similar to browser payments, in-app payment methods connect customers to the checkout so they can enter payment details. Consumers can pay for goods or services directly in the merchant’s mobile application, which allows for a seamless customer experience.

3. Mobile Wallet Payments

Also known as digital wallets, these payments use apps such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. Not only do these apps store payment card information, but they also hold other documents such as event tickets, airline boarding passes, or vaccination records. When making a payment, the app uses near-field communication (NFC) technology, which uses radio frequencies to communicate between the mobile device and POS terminal. Mobile wallets are convenient and help to avoid fraudulent activities, like theft.

4. Mobile Peer-to-Peer Payments

Mobile peer-to-peer payments (P2P) are digital transactions between two individuals. The funds are transferred directly from one user’s bank account, checking account, credit or debit card, or payment app, to another person’s bank account. Most of the time, P2P platforms do instant transfers. The amount of time it takes for money to transfer into a bank account can vary depending on the different P2P accounts. This is a quick and efficient way to transfer funds from one bank account to another.

5. Mobile Card Reader Payments

Mobile card readers are small, portable devices that can be attached to a mobile device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Once the customer is ready to pay, they simply either tap or insert their card into the machine and input their PIN. A mobile card reader benefits both the customer and business. They’re safe, lightweight, and easy to set up and use.

From our 30 years of payment experience, we have found that over 90% of small businesses are paying too much on their credit card processing fees. And not just over-paying by a small amount! Many were paying as high as 4-5% on their credit card processing fees with their previous processor.

Unfortunately, many business owners don’t know where to start when it comes to calculating credit card processing fees. Therefore, many merchant processors take advantage of this and will purposely tack on hidden fees without you knowing. Don’t let that happen to you!

We believe that knowledge is power. Our goal is to educate our merchants on how credit card processing works so you can decide which payment system is most beneficial for your business. This way you can keep more of your hard-earned money!

5 reasons why you should do a Yearly Merchant Statement Review:

  1. See how much you’re paying in credit card processing fees: Credit Card processing fees can easily add up. If you’re not vigilant, they could cost your business hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in additional fees each year! Be on the lookout for large mark-up fees that go directly into the merchant processor’s pocket.
  1. Search for hidden or unnecessary fees: Unfortunately, many credit card processors are not transparent when it comes to labeling their credit card processing rates and fees. Be on the lookout for any recurring hardware, PCI security, monthly minimums, and other monthly maintenance fees. They can easily add up if you’re not careful.
  1. Determine if your processing fees have changed month-to-month: Processing fees can change from month to month. Check for any pricing updates or increases in your fees each year.
  1. Check your interchange rates: The interchange rates from the card issuers such as Visa or Mastercard can change from year to year. Although there isn’t much you can do about it, it’s always wise to stay ahead of the game and know what to expect.
  1. Educate yourself on the credit card processing industry and standards: Overall, you should be as familiar as possible with the payment industry, hardware, and PCI requirements. This way you don’t get billed for any non-compliance or penalized for using outdated software or credit card terminals. Knowledge is power!
