When payment processors compete YOU win!
Many retailers save more in processing fees than they spend on Acme each month.
Implementing any new point of sale "stirs the pot". Even if you don’t change processors the process requires contract updates and reconfiguration so if you are not already using a preferred processor you owe it to yourself to get a free quote.
Acme works with all major card processors in the USA, but we do have our favorites.
We call them preferred processors because they can meet or beat existing rates AND they know us and we know them, so we stock their equipment. This makes your deployment faster, easier and free of headaches & confusion.
Preferred processors earn the title by reducing your upfront and ongoing costs (and headaches) and streamlining your deployment. Non-preferred processors earn nicknames like Evil Empire and seem to be successful in spite of themselves at your expense. Perhaps you've dealt with businesses like this before?
Yes, you can use any processor, but don't underestimate the true costs. Ask us to have a preferred processor reach out today!
Using a point of sale ssytem that locks you into "their" processor is one of the most expensive mistakes a retailer can make. Never give up your right to shop around.
Acme handles Credit Card, Debit Card, Gift Card, EBT / SNAP / Food Stamps, Loyalty and e-Wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, but capabilities, workflows and equipment vary by processor.
Swipe
Manual Entry
EMV Chip & Signature
Smartphones
(Google Pay / Apple Pay, etc)
Mobile, uses very inexpensive cell plan.
Most popular. Includes Quick Chip technology that speeds up the checkout lane.
Includes signature capture for house charges.
These devices allow customer to dip, swipe or wave (smartphone)
but features are equipment and processor dependent, inquire for details.
Expanded Capability
I ditched the thought of a tablet point of sale when I found out it could not process PIN debit. The higher rates would kill our profits.
real savings
We thought our last processor was fair. We switched and save more in processing fees each month than we spend on Acme.
Loyalty / Faster Checkout
We love the new loyalty card program and were really surprised how much easier customer checkout is with the new processor.
Process Credit Card, Debit Card, Gift Card, EBT / SNAP / Food Stamps. Use signature capture for electronic payments and house charges too! Faster reconciliation + tighter risk control = lower processing fees. -Process mobile payments via merchant owed AND customer owned devices like Google Wallet and Apple Pay.
Using one of our preferred processors has allowed other retailers to...
- Stop paying double for some of the cards they take.
- Negotiate and save money, even mid-contract.
- Spend less time and have fewer processing issues.
- Eliminate double entry and control risk.
- Reconcile in seconds!
- Leverage the relationship and experience of thousands that have gone before.
Still using a "stand alone" payment terminal?
The move to integrated processing WILL lower your true costs!
No double entry means fewer mistakes, fewer charge-backs and faster reconciliations.
