1. 6 reasons why you would need an integrated Credit Card Solution
Hellow and good morning. I am Manish from CitiXsys Technologies and I will be discussing different reasons as to why would a business need an integrated credit card solution.
Credit Cards have existed for a very long time now and today over 85% of people in developed economies have and actively use credit cards.
As the markets and industries matured over time, the usage of credit cards became more and more popular in B2B scenarios. When I say B2B, I do not necessarily mean transactions between 2 business houses over the Internet ALONE. What I am referring to are the payment and collection between a customer and a vendor where the vendor has the credit card details of the customer and swipes the credit card for payment collection.
Along with the businesses also matured the solution offering by the IT solution providers. Integrated systems greatly improved the processes efficiencies of organizations. And as a further refinement of the accounts receivable functions, collecting payments through credit cards started becoming more and more popular and an accepted norm of paying and collecting funds.
In today’s session we will discuss the 6 main reasons why an organization need credit card solution integrated to the core accounting or and ERP system.

2. Agenda The 6 Reasons About Us
A very simple agenda to an interesting topic of discussion. We enumerate the 6 reasons for having an integrated credit card solution and conclude the presentation with who we are and what we do.

3. Reason 1 – Improve Cash flow
No waiting for the checks to clear
No waiting for 30,60 or 90 days for the invoices to be cleared
Realize payments within 48 hours
Decrease Billing over head
Improve Cash Flow
The first and the foremost – improve cash flow.
Electronic transaction processing can help speed up the credit card payment process. Instead of waiting for checks to clear, or 30, 60, or even 90 days for invoices to be paid, funds resulting from credit card transactions are deposited directly into your bank account, within 48 hours. Electronic payments will enable faster payment cycles, which lead to improved cash flow and decreased billing overhead – a significant benefit and welcomed relief for any business.

4. Reason 2 – Improve Productivity
Reduce Input mistakes by automating transaction flow
Get money deposited directly into your bank account by automated acceptance and settlement of funds
No longer have to worry about being a payment collection agent
Improve productivity by focusing on core business – leave payment processing to the bank or transaction processor
The second reason – Improve productivity
With credit card processing, the transaction flow is conducted automatically reducing dramatically the input mistakes. Automated acceptance and settlement allow funds from the credit card transaction deposited directly into your bank account. By making the payment process more efficient and less time consuming, you do not have to worry about being a payment collection agent. Instead, you can focus on the other aspects of your business and leave payment processing in the hands of your bank or transaction processor.

5. Reason 3 – Reduce Costs Streamline Operational Costs
Cut Down On Overheads
It is less expensive to process credit cards than to accept checks
Control Shrinkage
no cash on hand to walk off with..!!
The third main reason – Reduce Costs
Accepting credit cards helps streamline operational costs and cuts down on overhead by eliminating the need to send bills and manage account receivables. For starters, it is often less expensive to process credit cards than to accept checks. Furthermore, it helps control shrinkage – since the process is automated there is no cash on hand to walk off with.

6. Reason 4 – Convenient Settlement Of Multiple Invoices
Settle multiple invoices in one transaction
Eliminate the logistical challenge of managing and reconciling multiple payments
Enhances your business credibility in front of your customer
Encourage your customer to do business with you
Reason number 4 – Convenient settlement of multiple invoices in a single transaction.
An integrated credit card solution allows for settlement of multiple invoices in one transaction. Such integration not only extends a convenience to your customer, but it also takes away the logistical challenge posed by managing and reconciling multiple payments – typically through checks. Having such a feature further enhances your business credibility in front of your customer and indirectly encourages your customer to do business with you
And of course – you go that much more green…

7. Reason 5 – Flexible System Of Authorization
Features and configuration options for a flexible system of authorization
Authorize at order
Authorize at delivery
Authorize at order and delivery
Ensure that credit limits are still approvable in the case of increased order quantities
Reserved authorization amounts can be reduced when order amounts are reduced
Allow the customer to have the maximum open credit limit on their credit card
Reason number 5 – Flexible system of authorization
Depending on your nature of the business and the type of customer you interact with, an integrated credit card processing solution offers features and configuration options for a flexible system of authorization. Credit Card Authorization can be performed at multiple points in the process including:
Authorize at order
Authorize at delivery
Authorize at order and delivery
Order quantities and deliverable quantities may vary from the initial order amounts. The flexibility to re-authorize ensures that credit limits are still approvable in the case of increased order quantities, and conversely, reserved authorization amounts can be reduced when order amounts are reduced, thus allowing the customer to have the maximum open credit limit on their credit card.

8. Reason 6 – Option for multiple payment processors
Should have integration with multiple payment processors globally
Some of the payment processors are:
eWay (Australia)
Paypal
Commedia (UK)
Authorize.net
Ogone (UK)
Skipjack
Moneris (USA & Canada)
DIBS
FirstData
ChronoPay
Reason number 6
With cross border commerce being more of a norm than an exception, organizations today operate in multiple geographies as separate subsidiaries. However the popularity of payment processors is still quite regional. An integrated credit card solution which is expected to have integrations with multiple regional payment processors offers the organization to operate in different geographies with different payment processors.
So these were the 6 main reasons why would an organization need an integrated credit card solution.
To quickly recap the 6 reasons,
IMPROVE CASH FLOW
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
REDUCE COSTS
QUICK AND CONVENIENT SETTLEMENT OF MULTIPLE INVOICES
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM OF AUTHORIZATION
OPTIONS FOR SELECTING PAYMENT PROCESSORS
