Merchant service providers compete on a lot of features you might not think to look for when choosing which platform to use. As you review options, consider which of these aspects matter most to your business:
Ease of use: Do you need an app and hardware that’s easy for anyone to use, or do you and your team prefer to navigate a more complex system with richer features?
Cost: Depending on the service provider, you might pay a monthly subscription fee, per-transaction fees or both, and you might have to pay upfront costs for hardware. Consider how much you’d pay in fees with each service, based on your typical transaction volume, to pick the most cost-effective system for your business.
Hardware: Will you get by with a mobile app? Do you need a robust point-of-sale system? Or will a simple card reader do? If you run an in-person business, look for a provider that offers the equipment you need at a price that makes sense for you.
Scalability: Consider where you see your business going in the next year, five years or ten years. Will the system you set up now be able to grow with you? Will it be easy to switch if it can’t? Does it make sense to sign up for a more costly system now to save headaches in the future?
