Credit Card Processing 101

Feb 29, 2020 |

When it comes to payment processing, not all providers are created equal. With a lot of competition offering deep discounts and zero fees, it can be too much to understand.

The City POS is different. We understand that not all businesses are the same. Your needs might not match the needs of the restaurant across the street. That is why we have built a team who are experts in providing payment processing solutions, no matter the size or type.

Whether you are just starting out, ready to upgrade or tired of not getting the service or rates you were promised, it is time to take a look at what we provide.

Stand Alone Payment Terminals

This is the traditional method for accepting credit cards. A merchant can swipe, dip or key enter transactions into device. New Near Field Communication (NFC) technology allows many devices to accept payments directly from a cell phone through apps like Apple Pay or Android Pay.

Mobile Payments

Mobile devices can now accept payments in a variety of ways. The merchant can swipe or dip cards with hardware designed for their phone or tablet, transforming them into a formidable payment platform. They can also key payments into their mobile devices.

Virtual Terminals

These are a software or web-based solution that allows merchants to process payments from their desktop or laptop. These can be used for both card-not present transactions and card-present transactions, when paired with a device for swiping or dipping credit cards.

Online Payments (E-Commerce)

Merchants can process transactions online through a website or mobile application by using either a shopping cart of a hosted payments page. These tools allow businesses to run an online storefront or take payments online for B2B transactions.

Same Day Funding

Receive your payments same business day. Mobile deposits and banking. View transactions reports instantly. No waiting for funds to appear. Go on with your business, wait free.

Our Concierge Level of Service

Not only do we provide the most cutting edge technology, competitive rates and solutions for any type of business, but offer the best customer service.

When working with The City POS, you can count on 24/7 support and personalized training to ensure your business is set up for success.
