If you’re looking to accept credit cards, a payment gateway is essential. But with so many options available, how do you know which payment gateway will work best with Sage 100?

[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
What is a payment gateway?
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Before you can choose the best payment gateway for Sage 100, you’ll need to know what they are. A payment gateway is browser-based software that allows business to accept mobile or online credit card payments. Without a payment gateway, businesses can’t accept online payments.
You can get a payment gateway from a merchant services provider or a third-party independent gateway service. Merchants access their gateway by logging in to their account through a secure webpage. From there, merchants can view and manage their transactions with features like reporting, refunds and voids, batch history, fraud prevention modules, and more.

What to look for in a Sage 100 payment gateway
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
1. Pricing
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Look for a Sage 100 payment gateway that offers flat rate pricing. Flat rate pricing guarantees one flat rate no matter what, so you’ll know in advance exactly what your processing fees will be. With flat rate pricing, your business receives one simple statement each month with a predictable rate. Flat rate pricing means you can process credit cards in Sage 100 at the same low rate each month without paying any additional transaction fees.
You’ll also want to make sure your payment gateway lowers your interchange rates by passing more information through the point of sale. Line-item details and invoice information already stored in Sage 100 should be automatically sent with every transaction to qualify your cards at reduced interchange rates and lower your overall credit card fees.

2. Support
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Make sure the payment gateway you choose offers exceptional support. A great customer support team should be in-house and available 24/7. If an issue comes up, your support team should help you resolve it ASAP. Also, look for chargeback management services that notify you when chargebacks occur so you can quickly take action.

3. Security
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
When accepting payments in Sage 100, there are three important security features to look for in a payment gateway. First, tokenization replaces sensitive credit card information with unique tokens of information that have no real value to hackers. Second, a PCI-compliant payment gateway for Sage 100 will help your business stay compliant with the mandatory regulations set by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council. Third, off-site data storage keeps credit card data on your payment gateway’s system instead of your own. This practice lowers your liability in the event of a data breach.

4. Features
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Features can be the difference between an average payment gateway and an extraordinary one. Here are three main features to look for:
First, versatile search functionality will make searching for past transactions simpler. Second, integration capabilities will allow you to sync your payment gateway with Sage 100. You’ll be able to process credit cards faster by eliminating extra steps and double data entry. Third, unlimited batch history creates a complete history of transactions and gives you access to every transaction ever run.

5. Flexibility
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
Some businesses accept credit card payments over the phone, while others use a physical terminal or process cards online. A great payment gateway is flexible enough to handle every situation you throw at it. Whatever your methods for accepting credit cards, make sure your payment gateway is flexible enough to accommodate you and adapt to your growing needs in the future.
