The credit card acceptance landscape is constantly changing. Since the pandemic began, credit card usage has increased significantly. That’s why it’s imperative to stay up to date on the latest trends when it comes to accepting credit cards because these trends could directly affect your business!
When Venmo launched in 2009, the “fast cash” app aimed to provide a solution to splitting the bill with your friends, whether it was going out to dinner, going to the movies or catching a concert together. But as the popular app evolved, businesses started to take notice. For some businesses, the app has become another way to accept customer payment.
Today, there are multiple ways to pay for goods. Cash, debit card, credit card or even the newer forms of electronic payments like digital wallets. But many merchants accepting credit cards have long grumbled about the cost of fees – and that sentiment has only grown louder now following the pandemic. Well, we are here to tell you there is a way to accept credit cards AND save on operational costs!
If you accept credit cards, chargebacks are often unavoidable, but it’s important to understand what they are and how to minimize them so that they do not affect your business.
As business owners ourselves, we understand the value of operational cost savings in today’s landscape. We talk to a lot of business owners every day – from every industry – and they all have the same item on their cost-saving wish list: lower fees for accepting credit cards. Imagine their delight when we share with them that we can do more than lower their fees. We can actually ELIMINATE transaction fees on credit cards!
