The old question of “Cash or Charge?” has been replaced over time to the modern day question “Credit or Debit?.” Sage Payment Solutions has become the solution of choice for businesses who recognize that the days when cash was the payment of choice are over. Today, businesses must adopt to the reality that credit cards are the the main currency for savvy shoppers. Who can deny that we all want those valuable Airline Miles or Hotel Points? A majority of the time, it seems like a no brainer to reach for the credit card. As a business, we like to pay for our purchases and services with our credit card but hesitate in accepting payments from those same cards due to credit card processing fees. So how can businesses adopt to handling credit cards with just about every single transaction and avoid the increased expense of the costs of processing credit card transactions? What if the process was less painful and less expensive?

- Save Time & Money: Instead of the traditional sales order - invoice - cash receipt workflow – Sage Payment Solutions allows you to process payment at the time the sales order is entered/approved, even if it’s only a deposit. Immediate benefits include earlier cash realization, fewer changes by customers to the orders placed, less accounting/administrative processing for cash receipts, and let us not forget the enormous savings of virtually non-existent collections processing! Small workflow change = huge and immediate benefits!
- PCI Compliance: You have most likely heard of PCI compliance if you process credit or debit cards for your business. If not, it’s time to get compliant since the penalties will be steep if you are reported or caught for non-compliance. PCI compliance is a mandatory requirement for credit card processing. The purpose is to protect the security of your card information. Of course, it is built into the Sage credit card payment system. You will be able to meet all of the payment card industry’s data security requirements, keeping your customers’ sensitive information safe. Paperwork is reduced and there is no need for duplicate entry. That’s giving you time for more important and productive work. Fees are lower than most banks and the process of getting started is really quite simple. There, we saved you both time and money.
- Sage Mobile Payments: Interested in mobile credit card options to process orders straight from your smart phone? Sage Mobile Payments gives you the ability to process credit cards while on the road, at trade shows and integrate these transactions to your Sage ERP system. Now you can hit the road and make more sales!
