Price Shouldn’t Be your Main Decision Making Factor
While your costs are obviously an important part of day to day business, it should not be the sole factor considered when selecting a payment provider. Many will advertise prices that are not all inclusive, so make sure you know all the costs and fees associated with a provider before you sign.
Not All are Created Equal
Some payment service providers specialize in specific industries while others are general payment providers. Make sure you pursue ones that can provide solutions applicable for your business.
Transaction Fees
Payment service providers charge a percentage fee for every transaction made on your site as a part of their service. When researching different providers, make sure you find out what their fee is, as they can range between providers as low as 2% to as high as 20%.
International Customers
If you cater to an international clientele, it’s important to select a provider that offers global payments in the local currencies of the countries you serve.
Customer Service Platforms
How does a particular payment provider offer customer service? It’s important to select a service that has a myriad of customer service solutions seven days a week, including via phone and email.
