As a small business owner, you'd likely do anything to keep your customers happy. In an article for The Balance Money, writer Rebecca Lake says that upgrading your technology is one way you can ensure a better customer experience. This may, in turn, lead to increased sales.
Something as simple as updating your point-of-sale system to cut down the checkout time could pay massive dividends in the long run. Dalia Ramirez and Lisa Anthony of NerdWallet write that contactless payments in particular can make checkouts faster and more secure.
All that's left for you to do is find the perfect system for your needs. Luckily, you don't have to look too far. In just a few short steps, Utah EZ Pay can set you up with a user-friendly contactless system using only your iPhone. As a bonus, you'll likely pay nothing in card processing fees for processing cards while making it easier for your customers.
Here's how it works.
It's fast and convenient
With the PayAnywhere app, the only thing you need to accept payment is your iPhone — no additional hardware is necessary. Not only is this convenient for you as a merchant, but your customers will appreciate the easy, contactless payment as well.
And here's more good news: You can use this payment method alongside your existing point-of-sale solution. If you get backlogged with customers, this is a good way to speed up the payment collection process.
It's easy to use
You'll be amazed at how user-friendly the system is. To accept payment, just enable the Tap to Pay on iPhone feature and key in the sale amount. Present your iPhone to your customer and have them hold their contactless payment method — their credit card, smartphone, Apple Watch, etc. — at the top of the phone. When you see a checkmark, you'll know the payment went through!
(Note: The system works on iPhones XS or later and runs on iOS 16 and above.)
It's secure
Thankfully, this fast and easy method of payment collection doesn't sacrifice security for convenience. The PayAnywhere app promises that "[e]very transaction is encrypted end-to-end to protect your customers' data and your business."
It's everything you need to do business
The system also frees you up to take care of professional matters when you're not in the office. No matter where you are, you'll be able to keep tabs on your business as long as you have an internet connection. The Payments Hub dashboard also powered by North American Bancard makes it possible to access terminals, reporting, inventory and much more in or out of state.
Here are a few other features available on the app:
- Next morning funding.
- View payment activity.
- View most popular items.
- Track sales in real-time.
- Employee management.
- Stock inventory management.
- Reputation management.
How Tap to Pay no card processing fees work
The PayAnywhere App using our Mt Timpanogos 0% Dual Pricing automatically includes the 4% for each non-cash transaction to cover all of the processing fees (e.g. a $100 charge typed into the app will show total as $104). The customer is charged $104 to cover all of the fees. Customers these days understand this as we have many merchants in the valley already doing so. Next morning the $100 is deposited into your checking account. Clean and simple!
You can get more information on the plans at the Utah EZ Pay website.
You get double the support
Using this new form of payment collection is easy, but you'll also have access to the support you need if you ever feel overwhelmed. One of the benefits of working with a local provider is that a real person is available to help with any problems that might arise. Greg G. Kapitan, president of Utah EZ Pay in Salt Lake, invites you to call or text anytime with whatever questions you may have at 801-205-1955. You also get access to PayAnywhere/North American Bancard at the corporate level.
