Credit card sales have increased exponentially. Between a younger generation who does not carry cash and increased online sales due to COVID-19, not accepting credit cards is not an option. With the razor thin margins that many businesses have, choosing the right credit card processor is more important than ever. Join Melissa Johnson, Payment Processing Strategist and Overall Processing Guru at Merchant Maverick, for a presentation about credit card acceptance issues. Melissa will discuss:

  • The difference between third-party payment processors (like Square and PayPal) and traditional merchant account providers
  • The various fee and pricing structures available, including tiered pricing and interchange-plus.
  • How to avoid hidden fees and bad contracts
  • What to look for in a reputable processor

Merchant Maverick was founded in 2009 to provide business owners with accurate, unbiased reviews as a response to the lack of transparency in the financial services space. Their goal is to provide the most honest, accurate, and useful reviews of business products and services to empower entrepreneurs and business owners to make good decisions. Ultimately, they take on the burden of in-depth research so entrepreneurs do not have to. Today, the website covers 20 different areas, including credit card processing, point of sale systems, business loans and credit cards, finance, accounting, eCommerce, and more. There is no charge for entrepreneurs to use www.MerchantMaverick.com. Merchant Maverick works on an affiliate marketing model, and does not accept payment for reviews, so their content is truly unbiased.
