We recently learned one of the largest member management software companies has ‘removed’ the ability to process member payments using the ACH network from their software. To make things worse, this particular company’s software is a closed system, which means there isn’t any built-in option to allow the client to choose alternate payment processing providers. The only option they offer is to collect customer payments through ‘their’ credit card service.
If you are familiar with ACH, you will agree this is by far the most cost effective way to collect customer payments. So why did this software company remove the ACH option, and then force you to use their credit card processing, not allowing you to shop, compare, and choose the options and rates that best serve your business? The answer is obvious: They are looking to make big profits through mark-ups and margins on their credit card fees.
Collecting customer payments through the credit card network is a good option, but it shouldn’t be the ONLY option. APS believes your business should have the option to utilize both methods, and then shop and compare rates and service. This will give you the ability to maximize income and minimize billing costs.
APS’s payment processing services provide for both ACH and Credit Card transactions. Many member management software providers are already connected to APS’s services, giving business clients the best of all payment options available. We offer software developers an easy solution when adding APS’s payment processing services to their software. We provide an API to communicate directly with our payment gateway.
