Transaction Services (TRX) vs. Swipe Gateway

In the highly competitive business landscape of today, it is crucial for companies to accept credit card payments. Although the transaction fees from networks like VISA and MasterCard might appear insignificant at first glance, they can add up to a considerable amount over time. Our solutions for merchant surcharges empower businesses to pass these processing fees directly onto their customers. Merchants can choose to integrate the fee into the overall price of items or notify customers about an extra 3-4% charge for using a credit card. This approach is especially advantageous for non-profits, municipalities, school lunch programs, and government organizations that face challenges with processing fees. By transferring these costs to consumers, businesses can lessen the financial burden associated with credit card transactions, which in turn allows them to allocate their time, finances, and resources more efficiently. Ultimately, this strategy not only helps merchants manage their expenses but also fosters an environment that encourages growth and sustainability in their operations. Furthermore, it can lead to increased customer awareness regarding the costs of card processing, potentially inspiring them to choose payment methods that are more cost-effective for businesses.
