As customers, we’re old to effortless credit card transactions when e buy our groceries or pay for a meal. But in the B2B companies, we work for, we suffer through inefficiencies and high processing costs without question.

B2B credit card processing is more complicated than B2C credit card processing. manufacturer, distributors, and wholesalers typically don’t interact with customers face-to-face. Instead, they take credit card orders online, through the mail, or over the phone. These remote transactions require a lot of data entry (plus double data entry) and switching back and forth between your accounting software and virtual terminal. Altogether, it adds up to a lot of lost time.

payment integrations allow you to accept credit cards inside cloud ERP without ever having to switch to another program.

To account for this greater financial risk, banks set higher processing fees for B2B.

Credit card integrations container significantly lower these transaction costs for B2B companies. Integrations automatically pull transaction details from and supply them at the time of the transaction. This additional information better guarantees the security of B2B transactions and results in lower processing fees.
