Select a Payment Processor

Accepting credit card payments at your office supply store is a great way of increasing sales and customer satisfaction. You'll first need to select a payment processor. The number of payment providers can be overwhelming, but EMS will help you.

You'll need to think about your current equipment as well as what you might require in the future.

• Need mobile payment options for your business?

• Will you be working with a countertop POS system primarily?

• Will you expand into another location in the future?

All of these are things that you should be aware of when meeting a merchant services provider. Does your potential partner have the ability to meet both your current and future needs?

The transaction or processing fees are another aspect to consider. The number of transactions your business receives each month may influence the best processor for you.

• What kind of support do they provide?

• Does the company offer 24/7 support?

• Does the company offer technical support in case of a problem?

The customer service team should be reliable and responsive.

Know what payment types are accepted by your processor.

• Accept all major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express?

• Do international refunds or payments have any restrictions?

Here are some things you should know before signing a contract. Make sure the processor is not only the cheapest but also the right fit for your business.

Take the time to read the reviews of current and former clients. This will give you a valuable insight into the business you'll be working with.

It takes time to choose a payment processor, but it is worth the effort because you want your customers to have a pleasant shopping experience.

Register for a new account with the chosen processor

Sign up for a new account now that you have decided on the processor you will be using.

You'll need to fill out an application form with details like your business name, business address and any other relevant business information the merchant services provider may require.

The processor will contact you to set up the payment processing service and discuss any additional details after reviewing the form.

You should familiarize yourself with all the costs associated with your processor to make sure they are in line with your business goals and budget.

These costs can include monthly fees, setup fees and transaction fees. Check all the details before you make a decision.

You'll be notified that your credit card payment system is now ready.

Your customers will be more comfortable and confident when they check out in your office supplies store now that you have signed up with the payment provider of your choice. This will allow you to increase your bottom line and turn your customers into repeat customers.

Installing your Point of Sale System
