Different payment methods for your business
Different businesses need different solutions. Run a brick and mortar shop? One terminal permanently connected should do the trick. Operate online only? An online terminal connected to your website is perfect. Move around as a contractor? Mobile terminal can do the job.
Understanding customer preferences and designing your business operations in response can really help increase the quality of communications you have with customers and reduce churn.
How payments can affect customer experience:
The experience that shoppers have in your store can vary from good to bad to somewhere in between. Provide a good experience and they’re more likely to make a purchase; provide a bad one and you’ll probably never see them again. Believe it or not, your choice of payment gateway, and how that gateway and its options are presented in your store, can have a big impact on the experience of your shoppers.
Here we outline the best options:
