Top Credit Card Payment Processing for Small Businesses in Cape Coral

Our goal at Electronic Merchant Systems is to provide you with a payment processing system that simplifies and profits your business.

Customers who spend money on goods and services expect transactions to be seamless, quick, and secure. This requires quickly dipping, touching, or swiping their card.

However, just because you want current technology, does not mean that the approach needs to be complex - after all, that is precisely what you are delivering to your customers: simplicity and security.

When you choose EMS as your merchant services provider, you can be assured that your clients' information is secure.

EMS has been a certified level 1 PCI provider for over a decade.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a collection of requirements intended to ensure that ALL businesses that process, store, or communicate credit card information operate in a secure environment.

As a result, you can be certain that your information is entirely secure with EMS.

It is our goal to alleviate all of the burden associated with payment processing so that you can focus on providing outstanding service and reaping the benefits without experiencing any difficulties.

We want to simplify the transaction process so that your consumers can concentrate on what matters most: your products and services.

If your Cape Coral business currently uses credit card processing services but requires faster transaction solutions or want to process transactions in a more modern manner, it may be time to examine a new processing system.

So, what does that look like?

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How Do I know Which Payment Processing Company to Pick?

You want to be sure that the credit card processing company you select for your business has extensive knowledge and experience in the industry, competitive pricing, excellent customer support, enhanced functionality, and is secure. Don't just look at the largest payment processing companies, the cheapest credit card processing, or the most popular credit card reader.

Sifting between many credit card processing companies and choosing the correct one is crucial and could land you a better credit card processing rate.

2. What exactly is a Merchant Account?

A merchant account allows your business to accept credit and debit cards and transfer funds from your customer's credit card purchases.

When a purchase is made using a credit or debit card at your business, your merchant account works in the background to withdraw funds from your customer’s bank and deposit them into your business bank account.

3. Can my business qualify for a merchant account?

The merchant account application process may vary depending on your specific business type and the associated risk that has been assigned and implemented by the credit card networks.

That being said, most merchant businesses are qualified for a merchant account.

4. How do merchants typically get burned by their payment processing provider?

Unfortunately, some providers take advantage of business owners just like you by imposing the following:

• Hidden fees and lack of transparent pricing

• Lack of security

• Poor customer service

• Solutions/Payment methods that don't fit your business model

5. How can EMS help my business compete with the big companies?

Competing against other small businesses is one thing, but your merchant services provider should offer additional tools to build you up against big box companies, as well.

No matter your business size, you need a credit card processor that helps elevate your brand by offering a wide range of business merchant services. Ask about EMS' gift cards, loyalty programs, and additional options, such as web hosting and design.

6. What if I need help with funding?

We can certainly help with that. One of the additional features that EMS offers is a funding program called BizFunds.

For Cape Coral businesses, we will purchase a pre-determined amount of your future sales volume to help raise capital.

The best part is, instead of a fixed monthly payment, you pay an agreed-upon percentage of your daily sales until the merchant cash advance has been paid in full.

7. What is the Cost of Payment Processing?

The cost of accepting credit cards varies widely. It’s critical that you pay attention to what fees will be assessed when you sign the contract with your payment processor.

Make sure you understand the fees you’ll be assessed by your payment processor before you sign the contract with them. And ask questions about the entire process.

8. What types of payment can I accept?

Payment processing allows small businesses to accept traditional stripe cards along with EMV chip cards.

Mobile credit card processing is a great option for service-based businesses without a brick-and-mortar location for seamless payments and convenient email invoicing.

9. What type of POS Equipment do I need?

This truly depends on your Business Operations and Model. The type of credit card terminal you select depends mainly upon the payments options you want to accept, as well as how you need to accept those payments.

A POS system should be used if you truly want to manage your entire business to ring up multiple items, track inventory, manage employees, and more.

If you are only accepting payments from a physical, brick and mortar location, a countertop terminal may be your best bet.

If you accept payments at events such as trade shows, festivals, or farmers’ markets, a mobile POS system is a great solution.

For phone payments and invoices, you will want to discuss a virtual terminal.
