Whether you are a manufacturer or distributor, credit card processing is an important part of your business, especially American Express cards. Most people think of consumer cards when they think of American Express, but American Express is one of the most popular cards for businesses as well. However, the fees American Express charges, to merchants who accept their cards, can be much higher than the typical Visa/MasterCard transaction. Some companies pay as much as 3.50% for their American Express transaction.
This is where the American Express OptBlue program comes in. This program allows credit card processors like American Payment Solutions to set your American Express rate to a similar rate as your Visa/MasterCard transactions. It also allows for everything to be on the same statement and for your funds to be deposited as soon as the next business day.
The majority of SAP Business One credit card processing users American Payment Solutions has worked with were not taking advantage of the American Express OptBlue program with their previous provider. If you are not currently receiving the benefits of American Express OptBlue and SAP Business One integrated credit card processing, contact American Payment Solutions for additional information and a demo of our SAP Business One credit card processing integration.
