Merchant Credit Card Processing

As a small business owner, you’re always looking for ways to save money. One place you may not have considered is your credit card processing fees. Whether you’re paying for a point-of-sale system, card readers or terminals, or simply processing transactions, these fees can add up quickly. And if you’re not careful, they can eat into your profits. Man in Green has the Merchant Credit Card Processing solution for you.

What is Merchant Credit Card Processing?

Merchant Credit Card processing is a way to get paid for the things you sell. When someone buys something from you, they use their credit or debit card to pay for it. The credit card company will then give you money for the sale. This is a quick and easy way to get paid, and it’s a great option for businesses that want to start taking payments from customers. Credit Card companies charge you, the merchant, a small fee for handling this transaction.

Man in Green offers credit card processing services with low fees, quick setup, and great customer service. In fact, you never call a “1-800” number or get caught in “voicemail jail” when you need help. You speak to a real person, and most issues are addressed in minutes, not days.

Let Customers Pay How They Want

With Man in Green and Total Merchant Services, your customers pay how they want to. Our POS systems accept the most common credit or debit cards, and electronic payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay.

Types of Equipment

Credit card readers are most commonly used by small businesses in order to process customer payments. Your customer will swipe or insert their card to pay at the counter or at your checkout. There are a few different types of credit card readers, but an increasingly common type is a point-of-sale (POS) system. POS systems typically include a card reader, a keypad, and a display screen. In order to use a POS system, the customer will first need to insert their credit card into the card reader. For debit transactions, once the card has been successfully inserted, the customer will then be prompted to enter their PIN number. Once the PIN number has been entered, the transaction will be processed, and the customer will be able to see their purchase total on the display screen. For credit transactions, the customer will be prompted to sign, acknowledging the transaction.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of contactless payment methods, such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Contactless payments can be made using a smartphone or a wearable device, such as a smartwatch. To make a contactless payment, the customer simply needs to hold their device near the POS system’s card reader. The transaction will then be processed wirelessly. Contactless payments are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and security.

However your customers want to pay, Man in Green can help you choose the equipment and plan to service your customers and save you money.
