QuickBooks and Credit Card Processing

By -
QuickBooks is the accounting package of choice for more than 3 Million businesses and with good reason! It is a full featured and robust accounting package at a great price. I use it myself!

What most QuickBooks users don't know is that QuickBooks offers a full API, which allows developers to create software that will interact with their QuickBooks file.

Unfortunately, working with the QuickBooks API is extremely time intensive, which makes it cost prohibitive to create customizations to the payment processing procedures.

The credit card processing functionality built into QuickBooks is fully integrated and easy to use, but it is not customizable at all. For example, if you want to be able to easily accept ACH (E-check) payments through the same mechanism you cannot. If you wanted to automatically pull data from a third party system, then run transactions and write data into your QuickBooks file, you cannot.

Our goal is to help merchants further automate their processes while at the same time putting more tools in the toolbelt of developers, consultants and integrators.

NELiX TransaX has recently release a QuickBooks module, which gives QuickBooks users and alternative to processing credit card payments out of QuickBooks. This module supports all credit card transactions, the creation of sales receipts, receiving payments against invoices, rebilling customers, running ACH (e-check) transactions and more.

Additionally, we're giving the source code away for FREE to qualified QuickBooks consultants, integrators and developers who partner with NELiX TransaX.

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
