They won’t tell you how to increase profit margins... but we will.
Reducing costs are not always achieved how you think.
Let’s analyse the cost to process one $250 transaction. Then times that by the number of transactions you do in a week. It’s frightening.
I’m sure it won’t be exactly the same in your business, but I'm also sure it will represent similarly.
Option One: Manual Credit Card Processing
Credit card Fees between 1.2 to 1.5% = $3.375 average.
Labour content to allocate and receipt this credit card transaction based on 2 minutes for the phone call, processing, searching and allocating = $11 average.
Add these together for a total of $14.75 per transaction for manual credit card processing.
Option Two: Manual Direct Debit Payment Processing
Direct Deposit bank Fees $0
Labour content to find and identify, allocate and receipt this direct deposit transaction based on 3 minutes = $16.50 average for manual Direct Debit processing.
Option Three: Completely Automated Credit Card Processing
Credit Card and automated receipting Fees 1.5% + 30 cents = $4.05 for completely automated credit card processing!
And to add salt to the wounds, this administrator works 24 hours, 7 days per week and never has a sickie.

Once you set up Automatic Credit Card Payments in EasyVend, it will automatically handle the entire payment and receipting process for you.
This will cost you 1.5% plus 30 cents per transaction. As an added benefit this cost can be applied as a surcharge onto your individual invoices - meaning you will save even more money!
We have customers that now refuse new customers unless they setup automated payment methods. Automatic Credit Card Payment Options are largely expected today, in fact it has proven to be a much safer option for businesses than receiving customer credit card numbers over phone, text or email.

Distributor Testimonial
I recently transitioned my credit card payment processing from a third-party provider to the Automatic Credit Card Payment system within EasyVend. I can now process credit card payments with a single click within EasyVend, which is saving me a stack of time plus I have the option of setting up automatic payments which will eliminate me having to process the payments manually all together. The transaction rates are also very competitive. Highly recommend this system."
