Merchants who are not familiar with complex terminologies and systems can find payment processing a daunting task. They would have to be familiar with all aspects of the system, including the pad, gateways, acquiring and processing as well as source suppliers.
Merchants of all sizes, especially those with smaller businesses, have a lot to do. They must focus on making sure their business survives and thrives. How can they make payments processing more efficient, secure, and effective for their customers while also offering better customer service? Let me tell you how.
Understanding the process of payments processing
Although online and in-store transactions may take just seconds, the real work takes place behind the scenes
Merchants need to be certain that the payment has been received by their bank account. There are many players involved in making sure that the payment is done correctly, quickly, and securely. The payment gateway, acquirer, issuer, card network, and retailer all play a part in ensuring that the payment is made quickly, correctly, and securely. The payment should be sent from one party to the other without the customer being aware.
Merchants need to be certain that not only have all transactions been processed but that money has also been transferred to their bank accounts. Merchants will benefit from having all the information in one place. This will give them full control over their operations. This seamless operation ensures that all payments are processed through an efficient and simple reconciliation process, which includes detailed IC++ reporting as well as an API layer for real-time reports.
End-to-end payment processing
Although many providers claim to be able to provide full-service, end-to-end payments capabilities, very few are able. Merchants can benefit from the innovative technologies that vendors have. They get greater profitability, security control, transparency, and better service for their customers.
Acquirers who can provide PIN Entry Devices (PED) devices along with a centralised gateway for payment that will manage omnichannel payments from the point-of-sale (PoS), to the transaction acquirer. This managed service will reduce costs by centralising transactions and simplifying maintenance and international updates.
This technology, which includes Ingenico’s smart acquisition solution, results in seamless payments that are easy to integrate and certified. Merchants also have quick settlements and reconciliation.
Multiplication of payment options requires a partner who can also centralise and process all payment methods in one platform. This will allow for clear monitoring. The solution allows for both payment processing and acceptance.
All merchant payment requirements can be met under one roof. This allows for one point of contact and makes the process seamless. This makes the customer experience more pleasant. Merchants can deal with large card volumes automatically because the platform scales automatically. Customers will enjoy uninterrupted uptime due to a reliable payment gateway that doesn’t need any maintenance.
Vendors such as ourselves are able to help merchants by offering advanced payment systems. This makes their process easier and more accessible. Security is a growing concern. This must be seamlessly integrated into the technology so that it does not negatively impact the customer journey and respects its state-of the-art security process. This will allow for seamless, faster and more secure payments.
