SUMMARY:Deep Dive Into Payment Processing & POS
DESCRIPTION:Beyond family\, home\, and health\, a business might be someone’s most significant investment. For businesses that accept credit and debit card payments\, the world of merchant processing can be confusing and vague. Many business owners struggle to understand their options and often find it challenging to decipher their monthly statements; that’s if they even have the time to look over them. \nWhen investing in a POS (point-of-sale) system\, the stakes are even higher. Yet\, many businesses end up with the wrong system because they buy from the first salesperson they meet\, who may only offer one option. Businesses aren’t cookie-cutter where one size fits all\, and knowing exactly what you need in a POS is half the battle. \nThis workshop with Crystal Cole of Ledgewater Consulting will demystify payment processing across all channels— in-store\, online\, and on- the-go. She’ll guide you on what to look for when setting up your business with the right POS system and a processing provider\, ensuring you make informed decisions that benefit your bottom line for years to come.

SUMMARY:Understanding Processing Rates – The Good\, The Bad\, & The Ugly
DESCRIPTION:Beyond family\, home\, and health\, a business might be someone’s most significant investment. \nFor businesses that accept credit and debit card payments\, the world of merchant processing can be confusing and vague. \nMany business owners struggle to understand their options and often find it challenging to decipher monthly statements; that’s if they even have the time to look over them. \nAccepting credit cards makes the stakes even higher. Why? Because this expense may be one of the highest a business owner will face. \nWith so many options to choose from\, many businesses end up with higher than necessary rates because they buy from the first salesperson they meet or from someone who sold them false promises. \nIn this 1-hour workshop\, we will demystify payment processing across all channels—in-store\, online\, and on-the-go—and talk through the different models of payment. \nCrystal Cole Prichard will guide you on what to look for when setting up your business with a processing provider\, ensuring you make informed decisions that benefit your bottom line for years to come. \nRegister Today!
