How Payment Processing Can Help Contractors Grow Their Small Business
Successful contractors realize that many customers (and vendors) want to move away from “traditional” payment methods like cash, checks, or bank transfers. Instead, they are demanding more convenient and accessible ways to do business, like contactless payments or ACH/Echeck payments.
Fortunately, this evolution is really good news for contractors! More modern payment processing solutions can actually help grow your businesses and improve your cash flow. At US Processing Payments (USProPay), we have a variety of low cost, secure payment solutions that are quick and easy to implement.
Modern Payment Processing Solutions for Contractors
With the right partner, contractors can quickly and easily get started receiving point of sale (POS) payments via credit card with software solutions for Android or iOS. Other software may be used for recurring business needs. In some cases, hardware may be the best solution.
Software for Android or iOS
Point of sale credit card processing transactions are so simple with a contactless, mobile credit card reader. USProPay offers Clover Go, which allows customers to pay with Android Pay™, Apple Pay®, and Samsung Pay®. All major credit cards are accepted and it integrates easily with Bluetooth devices.
Online Payment Processing
Online payment processing may involve ecommerce, API capabilities, or even customizable invoicing. Ecommerce involves a complex infrastructure to ensure secure, fast, and reliable transactions. However, selling more, selling faster, and selling safer should never be a fantasy for your business. Be sure to partner with a reliable company that can equip you with robust ecommerce or API capabilities. This should include impressive security features and easy integration.
Getting paid faster also should never be a fantasy, particularly for contractors providing recurring services. Find payment processing partners offering customizable invoicing solutions that can be sent directly to your customers’ email. Other payment services may include recurring billing, ACH payments, payment pages, and easy plugins that connect to shopping carts or QuickBooks, for instance.
Hardware
Hardware payment solutions may range from wireless hand-held POS systems to desktop terminal systems for your home office. Regardless of the solution, no contractor or small business wants to worry about additional expenses or surprise fees. Your contractor merchant services partner should provide you with peace of mind by discussing your needs, determining the best solution for you, and providing all costs up front.
USProPay’s Modern Payment Processing Will Grow Your Business
Any modern contractor payment processing solutions should be able to verify, secure, and authorise customer or vendor payments. In addition, these solutions should bring multiple other benefits to contractors that are simply unreachable through traditional banking.
Seek Lower Fees
Because every dollar counts, contractors need to avoid high or unexpected fees. When credit card transactions are required for a sale, contractors should confirm the fee structure for payables and receivables. In fact, you should always pay a transparent flat rate, never a percentage. In cases where you can avoid taking credit cards for payments, ask your merchant partner about ACH transaction solutions. For credit card processing, USProPay customers pay just the wholesale cost plus a small transparent fee, and for any ACH transaction the fee is just $0.XX.
Control your Cash Flow
Ask your merchant vendor partner about setting up customers on recurring payments or even auto pay. You will get paid on time and without any effort. Likewise, you can schedule vendor payments to minimize processing times and maximize cash in your bank account.
