Any
business is ultimately dependent on the systems that they use and the partners
that they have. Their success is independent of these things, but it can easily
be limited by poor systems, poor partners, or both. For many businesses, having
credit card merchant
services that charge them too much, or that don’t offer options that
can help their business grow can be stifling. It’s essential that you are
getting excellent service from the company that is responsible for handling
your transactions, and there are a number of ways that it can impact your
business if you aren’t.
The
first major issue you’ll notice are the fees that your merchant service company
is charging you for credit card transactions. Taking the time to assess how
competitive these fees are is a great way for you to improve your profitability
permanently by making a simple change to your business.
While
it might seem like a small thing, improving your fee rate by even a fraction of
a percent can amount to serious profit over the years. This isn’t the only way
for you to improve your profitability by assessing your fees however. Part of
that assessment should be focused on what you are getting for the fees that you
are paying. For example, if your merchant service provider gives you only basic
service for the fees that you are paying, then looking for another company that
offers more for the same (or in some cases a slightly higher) fee rate is a
great idea.
