Credit Card Processing: Why It Matters for Your Business

If your business isn’t accepting credit cards, you could be leaving a lot of money on the table. Studies show that customers spend up to 18% more when they can pay with a credit card instead of cash. That extra convenience translates directly into higher sales and happier customers.

How Businesses Process Payments

There are several ways to process credit card payments, depending on how you serve your customers:

• In-Store Payments (POS & Terminals):
  Most businesses use a point-of-sale (POS) system or a countertop terminal. Customers can tap, insert, or swipe their card, or even pay using mobile wallets. The POS you choose can impact your operations—it may include tools for inventory management, reporting, or customer tracking.

• Ecommerce Payments (Online Sales):
  If you sell online, you’ll need a payment gateway that connects your website to a processor. It’s important to make sure your website, gateway, and processor all integrate seamlessly to avoid errors, lost sales, or unnecessary fees.

• Hybrid Payments:
  Many businesses sell both in-store and online. Coordinating systems takes planning, but the right setup ensures smooth transactions and avoids paying more than necessary.

• Cash Discount / Dual Pricing Programs:
  Some businesses choose to offset processing costs by applying a small fee (often around 4%) to card transactions. Customers can avoid the fee by paying with cash. This approach can eliminate fees for the business while still giving customers the choice of how to pay.

Why Choosing the Right Processor Matters

Every payment method comes with its own rates and fees, and it’s not always easy to compare. Some processors hide extra costs in the fine print, leaving businesses paying far more than they should.
