There’s no one-size-fits all when it comes to picking the right hardware and software to run the payments part of your business.
Here are some excerpts from the transcript:
“For each merchant, we come up with the right combination of hardware and software to meet that business’s specific needs. …
“Perhaps a business might need a standalone countertop terminal. Maybe they need an e-commerce gateway. Perhaps they need integration with a more sophisticated point-of-sale system. We also can set businesses up with a mobile device that connects with a smartphone or tablet.
“Either way, we make sure that your business has the right hardware you need and you have it at the right price.
“We’re not in this to make money off of selling hardware. Our countertop terminals, for example, start at below $200. What we’re interested in is making sure you have the right tools that match your business’s needs. …
“Another thing to know about how we handle equipment for our customers is we really don’t think you should be leasing equipment. We think you should buy it outright. Most leases lock you in and you end up paying way more than you need for the hardware, and it’s just not worth the extra cost. …
“Another thing to know about equipment is that we highly recommend whenever possible to use an open system. By open we mean that since you own the equipment, you own the hardware, you should be able to switch the providers that work with that hardware if you need to. This isn’t always possible but is the ethical thing to do. It is the right thing to do, and we prefer doing business that way. …
