No more rate increases!

April 2011

We receive calls from wineries and the wine industry suppliers who are not clients of Winery Payment Solutions who complain that their rates are increasing …AGAIN! So now they’re looking for a better partner. These rate increases typically happen in April and October when Visa/MasterCard/Discover announce their semi-annual rate changes. Most processors pass along these increases and add a little bonus for themselves to pad their profits. These other processors will put a tiny note on the monthly statement that their rates are increasing and then in a month the client realizes that they’re paying more to accept credit cards. Frankly, if you’re not with Winery Payment Solutions your processor is banking on the fact that you don’t read or even understand your monthly statement.

This April the card associations did announce some increases to their rates which only affect Supermarkets and also a few other insignificant changes to some rarely used card types. Once again, Winery Payment Solutions decided not to increase our client’s rates. We believe that we may be the only credit card processor who decided not to increase all of our client’s rates this April.

Here at Winery Payment Solutions we’re different, we do our best to stop “rate creep” so you know that your rates will not increase. When our costs as mandated by Visa/MasterCard/Discover increase we will pass those along at cost, but we never add anything extra to pad our bottom line, because what’s important to us is your bottom line and your continued faith and trust in us.

Here are just some of the money saving solutions that Winery Payment Solutions offers.

One Account for Everything

You don't need multiple accounts, statement and monthly fees for Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Stop paying additional monthly fees for statements when you can have a consolidated statement and one account for all your transactions. In addition you don't need a separate merchant account for E-Commerce, Retail sales and Mobile payments. All you need is one merchant account for all your sales channels and no additional fees.

Online Terminal

If you'd like to accept payments without a credit card machine to further reduce your costs and power your wine club, you can use our virtual terminal for all or some of your transactions. You can also connect a card reader and receipt printer to your PC and have credit card machine wherever you take your computer.

Electronic Checks

With our award winning check processing solutions you can scan a check and get paid fast. If you want to stop going to the bank every day to deposit checks, or you want to make sure a check is good before the customer leaves, our e-check solution is right for you.

Gift Cards

Offer your customers the option to buy and pay with gift cards. With every merchant account, you get the first 50 standard gift cards for FREE.

Low Cost Credit Card Machines

With any merchant account we offer credit card machines to meet your needs at the lowest prices possible. Don't fall for a free terminal, there will be fees charged later to make up for the "giveaway".
