Save Money on Your Credit Card Processing

By Dave A Wilson

Every business should and will accept credit cards at some point. Unfortunately most business owners never fully grasp the options available to them when they decide it's time to apply for a merchant account. This ultimately results in the business owner signing an application for an outdated dial up credit card terminal that is nearly a 25 year old technology. Additionally Visa/MasterCard or the vendor will rarely if ever come out to update the machine once it's been installed thus most people are pay fees that are way too high and therefore your spending way more then you have too.

Well fortunately that's now a problem of the past. Credit card processing has moved into the broadband world and with that businesses can use their high speed internet connection to process credit card transactions in a more efficient, productive and timely manner. Plus by using your internet connection you remove the need to have a dedicated phone line to process which saves you on avg of about $360.00 a year.

By having an always ready, internet connected processing solution you will always be receiving the best rates and will experience the piece of mind knowing that you're not losing money where you don't have too. I urge all business owners to abandon their old dial up terminal and switch to a broadband merchant solution today.

The benefits of internet processing are:

- Advanced reporting features
- Ability to capture email addresses for marketing purposes
- Ability to integrate with your website and take transactions via your cell phone or PDA
- Updated fees that happen automatically not randomly or never like with a dialup terminal
- Ability to export data to be used in accounting packages.

With this short list of features you can see why processing via the internet beats using a dialup terminal hands down.

Thank you.
