Staying on top of your business can be difficult at the best of times, but with all the events that have taken place in the world recently, the food and beverage industry is now required to be more flexible than ever. With debtors and overdue payments rising for businesses, having complete control of your payments is essential. The solution, a complete payment gateway.
What is a payment gateway?
A payment gateway is a completely automated online service that verifies and accepts/declines payments or credit card requests on behalf of your business. A payment gateway transitions the transaction information from the customer to the bank who then automatically verifies the transaction. The automated system will either approve or decline the request based on the information provided, minimising the risk of fraud.
Why your food or beverage business needs a payment gateway system?
A payment gateway helps food and beverage businesses keep on top of all payments going in and out of their business. A payment gateway system gives you complete security and reliability while trading either in-store or over the web.
When your customers place an order, the payment gateway system will automatically assess the validation of the transaction request and instantaneously flags any issues. This gives you the advantage of knowing whether the request is valid on the spot and declining the request if needed.
Reduce Fraud:
A common issue faced by businesses is fraud. Payment Gateway software automatically audits transaction requests once they are submitted. The system verifies the Card validation, address verification and all other requirements needed to be approved. The system will then automatically red flag any out of the ordinary or severe transaction requests.
Protection is a key factor when using any type of electronic payment system. You should feel safe operating your business. Payment gateway systems use innovative technologies to privatise all sensitive data from both the business and customer keeping your valuable information out of the hands of the wrong people.
Quick transaction processing:
