Just about any business that accepts payments can benefit from integrated payment solutions.

When you include integrated merchant services with your software products, you’re helping your clients save time and money while potentially reducing their PCI compliance issues. Think about all the hassles for your end users when they must transfer transactions between platforms, reconcile their non-integrated bank accounts, update their accounting and customer management software, and more. By providing your clients with payments as a service ­­ or, simply PaaS,­­ you offer them advantages that help them get ahead ­and help you keep them as customers.

End User Benefits of Integrated Payment Processing

There’s no need for redundant entries and no place for calculation mistakes, bad invoices, and other inaccuracies caused by the manual moving of information. Accuracy improves when companies use integrated payment systems.

Business Forecasting with Modern Finance
