If you look at Intuit’s fees for processing credit card transactions, it’s clear they believe they have a captive audience. Want to create invoices in QuickBooks, hit “send” and have a payment link automatically included with the invoice? Most businesses believe their only option is to use Intuit to make this happen. Not surprisingly, Intuit’s credit card processing fees are sky-high—close to 4% in some cases, because all transactions are, by their nature, the riskier “card not present” transactions.
Good news: We now have a solution that can slash your costs by 15 to 20%!
PayProTec West Coast has teamed up with Chargezoom to bring you a better option for credit card processing that syncs with both QuickBooks and QuickBooks Online.
Here’s how it works:
- Create your invoices in QuickBooks, as you always have.
- Click a button to upload these invoices to the Chargezoom system.
- Chargezoom automatically adds the payment links and emails the invoices to your clients, using the email information in your QuickBooks database.
- When your clients receive the invoice, they have the option to click on a link to pay via credit card. When they do, payments are processed through PayProTec West Coast’s credit card processing gateway.
- Because Chargezoom syncs with your QuickBooks system, as soon as the invoice is paid it automatically shows as paid in your QuickBooks records.
Best of all, because PayProTec West Coast has some of the lowest credit card processing fees available, you’ll enjoy a much lower rate—usually a 15 to 20% savings off of what Intuit would charge.
Who can benefit from this alternative to Intuit credit card processing?
Any business that uses QuickBooks and wants to automatically include a “pay now” link with their invoices can use this. For example, this is ideal for business-to-business companies and service providers, such as restaurant suppliers, bookkeepers and accountants, lawyers, marketing agencies, printers, warehousing and logistics providers, IT consultants, interior designers and more.
Rather than send an invoice and wait 30 days for the company to cut a check and mail it to you, why not set your business up to be able to receive payments immediately—and get funded the next day.
This also works for memberships and other reoccurring charges
This system is also an excellent solution for gyms, daycare centers, private schools and any other businesses that operate on a “membership” or “monthly fee” basis. You can set things up for recurring billing, and Chargezoom will automatically send an invoice to the customer at the specified intervals.
Plus, you can also give your customers the ability to have their own portal where they can log in to track their payment status.
As one of our customers said when we called to tell them about this new option, “This is great! We won’t have to change anything in our QuickBooks but we can still make it very easy for our customers to have a seamless experience and pay via credit card, which is what most customers seem to want. Meanwhile we get a lower rate and get our money faster. What’s not to like about this?”
