Credit Card and ACH Automation

By -
Our specialty is putting together completely unique and custom systems for payment processing. This is a service that is hard to find, and there are many merchants who have large headaches when it comes to payment processing.

The majority of the payment processing industry does not have a good understanding of this need. The majority of tech industry do not have a good understanding of payment processing. Because of this, merchants with unique problems are often left to come up with manual and cumbersome solutions on their own.

We have a good understanding of both sides of the coin and are able to find solutions to previously unsolvable problems. Here are a few examples:
  1. Customer using FileMaker. Every night, this customer exported data from FileMaker, and ran a batch process consisting of thousands of transactions. The next day, the results would be imported back into FileMaker. This resulted in a customer service nightmare, as customer service reps would spend their days chasing after consumers with declined cards. Using the FlexPort toolkit, and our FileMaker integration examples, we integrated credit card and ACH processing directly from within their database. Now, transactions occur in real-time and declines are caught before the customer ever hangs up the phone.
  2. Customer with sales reps in rural areas, no internet access, no technology. Using our Customer Vault technology, we setup a system where reps can call in and punch in a credit card number, returning a sequence number. Later (sometimes months later) when the customer is ready to be billed, that sequence number is referenced along with the amount of the transaction, and the customers credit card his charged.
  3. Customer with three different systems - a Flash/Flex system, a .NET system and QuickBooks. Credit Card/ACH transactions are initiated in the Flash/Flex system, managed in the .NET system, and processed in QuickBooks. Customer had endless difficulty getting information to move between systems and share transaction data. Using the FlexPort library, along with the Customer Vault all three systems work together in a fully automated payment process.
The FlexPort toolkit contains examples/modules for many technologies - 4D, FileMaker, Microsoft Access, .NET (VB.NET/C#), PHP, Classic ASP, Flash/Flex, Ruby, iMIS, QuickBooks, OS Commerce, etc, etc, etc.

Do you have a unique scenario for processing your credit card/ACH transactions? We have the tools to help you automate and streamline those processes.

Merchant Account Cancellation Fees

By -
It is a standard practice in the industry to charge an early termination fee. This is understandable - considerable time and effort goes into underwriting and boarding a new account, time is spent on customer service, etc. An early termination fee is a way for a merchant account provider to make sure they will recoup their initial investment into a new merchant account. These fees are usually range from $200 - $500 depending on the provider. However, some entities enact extremely unethical early termination fees. For example, some merchant account providers will charge a mutliple on the earnings from the largest volume month over the past 12 months. Some providers will go so far as charge a multiple on their profit + interchange + dues and assessments! Two examples that I have encountered: 1) Big Bank - I had a merchant processing with this bank. They wanted to cancel, and were prepared to pay what they thought was a $295 early termination fee. They receive a communication from the ban...

Flexible Pricing Controls

At one time we were resellers of all the top gateways. Like our agents, we would cherry pick which gateway to use based on the needs of the merchant. That was until we built our own gateway from the ground up in an effort to eliminate a fragmented portfolio. Part of our inspiration for the rebuild was flexible pricing. We have all lost prospects to unavoidable fee structures. Most of the time there is nothing an agent can do about it. Or is there? With our gateway agents can do three things other gateways usually won't allow: Sell Below Buy Rate - Sell lower than your own costs or waive fees entirely. You have the power to create and market any pricing package you want. Feature by Feature Pricing - Virtually every feature can be sold with additional fees including Setup, Monthly, or Transaction basis. Charge by Basis Points - Charge merchants using basis points instead of a flat monthly or transaction fee. Flexible Pricing Controls
