VyaPay and Shopify:Your ecommerce Dream Team
Setting up an ecommerce site can be complicated, even for experienced independent software vendors (ISVs). It may be tempting to skip to the fun of integrating your shopping cart, but it’s best not to put the cart before the horse.
You need the right kind of merchant account to accept ACH, credit and debit card payments online. How do you choose from all of the available options, fee structures and service providers? Here are a few tips to get you started:
Fee structures:
Ancillary fees create recurring revenue for the service provider and out-of-pocket expenses for you. Steer clear of processors that assess monthly or annual charges for compliance, installation, upgrades, maintenance and more.
Traditional processing model:
Traditional payment processing, designed for small and midsize merchants, tends to be generic and one-size-fits-all. Traditional underwriters have a banking mentality, which means they take longer to approve applicants, rejecting those that don’t fit the mold or placing them in expensive high-risk buckets.
Payfac processing model:
Payment facilitators (payfacs), unlike traditional processors, treat you more like a partner than customer. Payfacs adjust their solutions to fit your software, giving you more control of your customer experience. They also absorb risk and automate routine tasks, which makes the payfac model a smart alternative to traditional merchant service providers.
Security:
Businesses that process payments online must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Payment gateways simplify compliance and enhance security by keeping credit card data out of your scope. Look for gateways that are PCI compliant and listed on Visa’s Global Registry of Service Providers (http://www.visa.com/onthelist).
Integration:
As an ISV, you’ve worked hard to create an integrated technology stack. An interconnected shopping cart, merchant account and payment gateway will help you create a seamless customer experience, from initial online browsing to checkout’s last mile.
Why VyaPay?
Integration is at the heart of the payfac experience, which is why so many ISVs are choosing to become payfacs or partner with one. As a leading payment facilitator of credit card processing and merchant services solutions for businesses of all sizes, VyaPay delivers everything you need to securely process payments online.
Why outsource payment processing to a traditional third-party provider, when you can directly embed it in your service offering? VyaPay will process on your behalf with total transparency, giving you the freedom, flexibility and transparency you need to grow and scale your business.
By combining all processing components and requirements, VyaPay gives you peace of mind and a single point of contact. This eliminates the need to call more than one help desk when problems or opportunities arise.
