Are you thinking about switching to a different Acumatica payment processing provider?
This process is often time consuming and complicated. When making a choice of the solution that will best fit your individual business, the quality of the services and uptime you will receive is one of the most important things to consider. Integrated payment processors, like REPAY, integrate right into your Acumatica ERP - making it easy, cost effective, and time efficient. REPAY's transparent business model focuses first on educating potential clients and then custom tailoring the right solutions that will seamlessly integrate into the systems they already use.
When searching for the right payment processor for your Acumatica needs, there are a few important things to look at before you make the switch.
Uptime, Downtime, and Failover
Many merchants who have made the switch to REPAY have stated that their reason for switching providers was the amount of downtime they suffered with their previous merchant service provider. IT downtime can be costly for your business. It is suspected that it could cost your business upwards of $5,600 for every minute of downtime that your business faces, according to Gartner. IHS Markit reported that businesses could be losing around $700 billion every single year due to IT downtime.
REPAY has a 99% uptime rate!
Our partners have data centers all over the US that play a critical component of our failover systems. Failover is a method of protecting computer systems from failure, in which standby equipment automatically takes over when the main system fails.
This failover strategy ensures that if one server goes down, the environment is brought up in another server. For example, if REPAY ClickToPay is on Server A and Server A goes down, REPAY ClickToPay shifts to server B. Server B installs automatically, and is up and running again within seconds. Redundancies in our system help to inoculate our merchants from the risks and costs of downtime. Routing from one server to another is only part of our solution. After Server A goes down, our team conducts a post-mortem analysis to figure out what went wrong and how we can prevent the same problem from happening in the future. This is a major component of our 99% uptime, along with the dedication of our team and consistent API response. If your processor is returning responses that means the system is receiving the request, but the responses break down, ending in downtime for merchants. Properly ensuring smooth transactional processes is key to preventing downtime.
Level 3 & Interchange Plus
Level 3 processing is a bonus to your potential savings if you are not yet taking advantage of the Level 3 discounts on interchange, and you are charging business to business or business to government transactions. If you are not yet taking advantage of the Level 3 discounts on interchange. If your business is on a flat rate pricing model, you could be missing out on massive savings with Level 3 for your B2B transactions. Access to these lower rates can save your business money every month on transaction fees.
Integration and Automation
Having a processor that enables you to take advantage of Level 3 discounted rates is great; using automated solutions to input the necessary data points with no additional work is even better. Some integrated solutions will not be fully integrated, requiring you to first input the items and populate categories in order to benefit from Level 3 discounts. Eliminating manual entry ensures that your business secures the best rates, saves time and money, and reduces the risk of entry error. Your employees should be focusing on what can help grow your business. Your integrated payments solution should facilitate that with a seamless, easy to use experience. If your business would benefit from streamlined operations and lower admin costs, look into automated solutions that are seamlessly & fully integrated into your accounting software.
Support
Another important feature of any payment processing provider is merchant support. It is important that you carefully evaluate your potential processors to determine who has the right customer service and tech support for your business. REPAY has 24/7 live support. REPAY customer support provides an expert member of our team dedicated to solving your problems or helping guide you to become 100% PCI Compliant.
User Design
Many processors do not provide merchants with centralized reporting. Online management and reporting that is easy to access online and allows for self-service can cut time and confusion from your daily routine. Our fully-integrated and out-of-the-box solutions work seamlessly within Acumatica and allows for 24/7 access to important financial records.
Self-Service
Customers also like the ability to self-serve and pay their invoices online. No payment solution is complete if it does not consider the user experience of the end-customer as well as the merchant. Many payment processors will not offer an integrated online payment portal, or if they do, they will have them available to their clients for a fee. Working with a payment solution offering this functionality, clients can click a button and make payments in seconds, increasing customer satisfaction while getting you paid faster.
REPAY offers an integrated and 100% free payment portal where you can email an invoice to a customer from your Acumatica ERP, and customers can click on the Pay Now button embedded in the invoice and can pay online in less than 5 minutes. REPAY online payment portal gives clients access to all their outstanding invoices, so they can pay multiple invoices at once via ACH or credit card. Watch the REPAY ClickToPay Demo to learn more.
Security
You need to trust your payment processing provider to protect your business from data breaches and liability. Payment gateways work behind the scenes to securely transfer sensitive credit card data from an online payment portal to the payment processor. REPAY is a fully PCI-DSS compliant credit card payment processing solution for added security against fraud. REPAY’ tokenized credit card data simplifies PCI compliance, and stores sensitive customer information encrypted within the REPAYPAYS Vault.
