A Worldwide Credit Card Processing Company Has Just Partnered with Canada

Worldwide Merchant Services LLC has just signed on a new contract with a Canadian processor which will bring tremendous values and savings across the entire board in the credit card processing business.

WMS will buy out businesses current Canadian leases and contracts. In doing so will substantially reduce their current rates and increase their bottom line. With WMS offering its new program it will allow Canadian merchants that are paying over-the-top Canadian leasing prices and very high Canadian discount rates to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars on their current contract.

Canada as a country received very low technology rankings on a recent study. Not only do they receive under par services but they pay higher pricing just to have it. A professor at the University of Ottawa said he wasn’t surprised of the results of the study; countries all around the world typically get far better deals with superior services than what the Canadians experience right now. Frankly, the Canadian market is far behind when it comes to credit card processing.

The technology and the streamline modern processes is what WMS is now contributing. Because WMS is based in the United States they have the leverage and the innovation that no other Canadian merchant servicing company can offer today. This combination makes for an ultimate merchant account that is second-to-none for Canada businesses.

Payment Gateway & Virtual Terminal Information

A few very important things you need to know about a payment gateway and about a virtual terminal. First of all, what are they and why does my business need it? Let’s answer those questions for you in simplified terms.

Payment processing is the electronic means of exchanging account information from the store level to your payment gateway originating through a credit card purchase which initiates a secure encrypted transaction request electronically sent to the gateway allowing the transcation to clear. Your payment gateway then immediately corresponds with your merchant account, which corresponds with your financial institution in real time. This process typically takes less than a minute.

A payment gateway allows your business to make payments transactions to a payment processing system electronically, which is through an automatic clearing house called an ACH. An ACH is a secure payment transfer system that connects all US financial institutions. The other payment processing system is through the credit card interchange, which in essence is the clearing process of credit card transactions. They also settle and manage these transactions.

If you are an online merchant your website should be set-up with an online catalog and a shopping cart. Consumers shop from the comfort of their home and at any hour of the night and day with a click of a button. If your store doors are not open after 5:00 p.m…. not to worry, your online shopping is open 24/7. An additional way to triple your business profits.

What is a shopping cart? A shopping cart allows consumers to purchase items from your business website via online and is connected to that payment gateway which is connected to your internet merchant account which is connected directly to your financial institution. Again, getting that money electronically in your account in seconds.

What is a virtual terminal? It is a virtual point of sale terminal, which is another secure method of processing payments using a computer. This method allows you to key in the consumers information, which is bundled with a payment gateway that enables you to process a credit card transactions over the internet. This process is necessary for a business that processes a majority of orders via phone, mail order or fax.

.

It is imperative for your business to be able to process payments in an array of different ways to accommodate each and every consumer. Plain and simple! In exchange for nonminal processing fees you get rewarded by the added profits. In this market you must be set-up correctly in order to make the most money from your business. If you are unable to process a payment via check the customer walks away, if you are unable to process a credit card payment that customer walks away, if you are unable to process a debit card, guess what? Your customer will walk out or go to another website that can accommodate that purchase. Each purchase whether is be for $5.00 or $500.00 adds up to money in your pocket. Get the picture? This is why you are in business to make money… bottom line, literally! So be sure your  business is set-up efficiently in advance and you will be running smooth prior to your Grand Opening.
