Merchant Services

Retail - Return to Top

From Shoe Stores to Auto Repair Shops, you can process transactions as quickly as is needed. Whether a traditional stand alone terminal utilizing a phone line or on a high speed IP Connection, we have your solution. Are you really in a hurry? Ask us about the Quick Service Program; the customer leaves without having to take the time to sign the receipt, freeing up the time to be waiting on the next customer. Quick Service Program is available to specific industries.

Retail with Tips - Return to Top

This Application obviously allows the merchant to take tips. Typically used by Salons, and less expensive to accept Rewards Cards than trying to get by on a Restaurant Application, solely because a Tip Line is needed. Available on the Omni 3700 line, Nurits and some Hypercom terminals.

Restaurant - Return to Top

Do you have an eating establishment with servers? You’ll be able to keep up with individual servers and adjust tips. Are you not interested in a tip line? Are many of your transactions under $25? Is the time spent at the terminal important? Ask us about the Visa/MasterCard QSR Program; the customer leaves without having to take the time to sign the receipt and you’re waiting on the next customer.

Mail/Telephone Order/Internet - Return to Top

CCPS supports a full line of terminals able to prompt for AVS (Address Verification Service), Invoice/Purchase Order and CVV2 (Card Verification Value). This ensures that merchants meet the best interchange qualifications on their key-entered transactions. Whether using a stand alone terminal or a Virtual Terminal on your own PC, you can be confident of the correct setup.

Business to Business - Return to Top

As more and more businesses choose to use their Business Credit Cards for all purchases, wholesalers must now accept cards. As the merchant processes Business, Corporate, and Purchasing Card transactions, additional information such as invoice number must be entered in order to cost as little as possible. This information is known as Level II Data. If you are regularly accepting business cards and you aren’t prompted for Invoice Number, you are paying too much.

Supermarket - Return to Top

Do you have separate departments and multiple checkout lanes?

You may qualify for the Supermarket Program with rates lower than when using a Retail Application.

Lodging/Auto Rental - Return to Top

In Lodging as well as Auto Rental, the merchant many times “Pre-Authorizes” the customer’s card, thus insuring the validity of the card. The merchant also has the ability to charge the card, should the customers change their minds at the last minute, without bothering to inform the merchant.

Let’s say, for instance, that a motel owner wishes to try to beat the system by asking for a Retail Account, making Rewards Cards go in at significantly less cost. There will be no pre-authorization option, as everything will go through as straight Sales.

Utility Program - Return to Top

Anyone who provides Electricity, Natural Gas, Water, Heating Oil or Sanitation is eligible for the Utility Program. All that is needed is verification, then we can begin saving you significant money. If you aren’t currently accepting cards as payment, you will be amazed at how quickly your customers will become Current with their accounts, as the result of being able to put it on cards!

CCPS is fully trained to be with our merchants every step of the way, as we go through the qualification process. It isn’t difficult, but many Merchant Service Providers aren’t familiar with the program.

Public Sector - Return to Top

Going hand in hand with the Utility Program, Municipalities can take full advantage of card payments in the areas of Transportation, Bridge & Road Fees – Tolls, Courts, Fines, Bail Bonds and Taxes – ad valorem and property. In uncertain times, cards may be the solution to keep the revenues flowing!

Petroleum/Pay at the Pump - Return to Top

CCPS has the ability to get through the volume of paperwork needed, in order to correctly setup a Petroleum Merchant. Systems such Ruby, Gilbarco and Wayne are all certified on the BuyPass platform.

We can also process Fleet cards. Merchants can easily establish processing for Wright Express (WEX), Voyager, Fuelman and MasterCard Fleet Cards as part of the same set up process. Customers frequently ask to use Fleet cards at retail merchants like auto repair and parts stores.

GSA Purchasing Cards - Return to Top

Do you currently sell to, or have contracts with the Federal Government? Are the transactions costing you an arm and a leg? Unlike the Level II Data required for regular Business Purchasing Cards, GSA Level III Data includes more information. Without this info, processing costs will always cost significantly more.

Many Agents have never heard of GSA Cards. We have merchants who are properly setup and reaping the rewards. Before our relationships, they had not heard of the Level III Data. Either the agents simply didn’t know, or were making significantly more money at the merchants’ expense. Either reason is unfortunate for the merchant.
