It&#8217;s painful to have that 2%+ of fees, but the service is needed for most merchants. There are a few things you can do to help minimize the credit card processing expense.<\/p><p>The first and easiest thing you can do is work with a reputable payment processor like TRC-Parus. You get fair pricing, transparent fees, and world-class service. They will also set up your merchant account with the right parameters to minimize your interchange fees.<\/p><p>Another thing you can do is optimize your transaction processing. This can be achieved by ensuring that transactions are properly authorized, verifying the identity of customers, and using fraud prevention tools. Interchange rates are lower with more secure transactions. When possible, do in-person transactions.<\/p><p>Lastly, you can also encourage the use of lower-cost payment methods. The lower-cost payment methods are debit cards, electronic checks, or etransfers. You can also offer discounts for customers who pay with cash or checks.
