Integrated “Level 3” Credit Card Processing

by | Apr 30, 2017 | AccountMate SQL, AccountMate SQL/Express

Dear AccountMate Clients,

If you process credit card payments, even if you’re not currently integrated to AccountMate, then stop what you’re doing and read the following closely – because this is the biggest news in credit card processing in the AccountMate world EVER!

American Payment Solutions and Bailey Enterprises have enhanced the MKT Credit Card processing interface for AccountMate/SQL to offer “Level 3 Processing” functionality – which provides product level detail to the gateway and gives you a vastly reduced interchange fee – thus SIGNIFICANTLY decreasing your transactions fees.

If you’re manually processing customer credit card payments now or using another solution, then you’re not providing Level 3 detail – and you’re paying a higher transaction fee than if you were.

So, what will it cost to decrease your credit card transactions fees by one third?  Perhaps one half?  The MKT Credit Card interface is being discounted based on volume of your transactions, so contact us for a review of your current processing statement or volume of manual transactions as it could even be free!

Besides saving you money, here’s some other great reasons for implementing MKT-Credit Card with APS:

  1. Reduced effort because it’s integrated to your AccountMate/SQL – so no entry of customer information, or amount owed, etc.
  2. While MKT-Credit Card is already PCI Compliant, when implemented with APS as the payment gateway all credit card information is securely stored within their secure online APSPAYS Vault and only “tokens” are stored in your local AccountMate installation.
  3. The volume of payments required to process AmEx payments is large enough that many small business are precluded  from offering this as an option.  The APS/MKT interface includes OptBlue – which let’s you bundle AmEx into your regular processing.
  4. APS/MKT offers 12 hour funding, the fastest in the industry – so you get the funds deposited to your bank account faster.

Check out the recorded webinar here, then contact us for a free audit of your credit card processing statement.

If I can’t save you money on your credit card transaction fees, while providing all the other four benefits listed above, then I’ll buy you a lobster dinner.  Live overnighted lobsters.  Try me! <grin>

Technical Tips

Version: AM10 for SQL and Express

TIP: AccountMate 10.1 for SQL/Express now has a more powerful search mechanism for special inventory items (e.g., kit item, serialized item, etc.) to be shipped or invoiced. When recording shipments or creating invoices, you can specify a starting serial, lot, or kit number and a selection quantity; then, AccountMate automatically displays a range of serial, lot, or kit numbers for selection.

Version: AM10 for SQL and Express 

Modules: AR, SO, IC, PC 

TIP: In AccountMate 10.1 for SQL/Express you can now configure AccountMate to use multi-level pricing based on both price codes and order quantity breaks. With this new multi-level pricing combination, you can configure multiple quantity levels for the same price code in the Inventory Multi-Level Price Maintenance window. In previous AccountMate versions you can only configure multi-level pricing either by price codes or by order quantity breaks.

Note: The new multi-level pricing combination is available if the Price Control module is activated.

TIP: If you have activated the Inventory Acceptance feature but most of your sales order transactions do not need confirmation, then be sure to mark the Auto-accept checkbox in the SO Module Setup>Sales Order Transaction area. This setting will mark by default the Auto-accept checkbox for each inventory line item in the sales order. When this checkbox is marked, the inventory acceptance confirmation is no longer required.
