Card Payment Best Practices

In addition to popular consumer oriented products like debit cards and rewards cards, today’s buyers are using several types of commercial card products including business, corporate, fleet, purchasing and GSA purchasing cards. Establishing payment acceptance best practices helps manage different payment choices for competitive advantage.

Businesses are finding that not every customer or every invoice is best suited for issuing trade credit. Accepting commercial credit cards are an important component of a company’s payment policies. Yet, the reality is that most businesses accepting commercial cards from their buyers are NOT qualifying for the BEST available rates because their merchant account is not set up or registered properly.

Setting up your business to accept purchasing cards for payment is different than establishing a standard retail merchant account or MOTO merchant account. Level 3 merchant services are required to qualify for the best available Interchange rates. In addition, most businesses are using business to consumer payment technology not capable of passing invoice level detail. Implementing Level 3 payment technology is required.
