Point of Sale System for Retail Services

When you are running a business, you don’t want to worry about the technology which is keeping you afloat. With more and more Americans turning to credit and debit cards as their primary way of paying — whether it is for a meal or a set of sneakers — it is becoming increasingly important that your business has the right technological solutions to process and record your transactions. Though almost every company has a card-reader of some sort, these systems have a considerable amount of variance. At One Source pos, Inc., we provide reliable and user-friendly technology and software so you can focus on the things that matter. Running your business has never been easier — reach out to us to learn more today!

Benefits of having a point of sale system through One Source

Once you switch your business over to our point of sale (pos) system, several convenient benefits will become available to you and your business. Here are a few to consider:

• Fast, reliable service – the last thing you want is a customer who is annoyed by the wait time or who has their order canceled for no particular reason. Both of these are common symptoms of pos systems, and problems we have taken pains to avoid. Our systems are quick, reliable, and easy to use.
• Inexpensive – at One Source, we provide the equipment at our own expense! Once you sign on with us, we supply and program the hardware for you. Further, our systems offer the most inexpensive card-processing fees available through Interchange Optimization.
• Supportive – we guarantee that if there are any malfunctions or issues with your system, we will fix the problem free of charge! This is our thanks to you for choosing our system. If you already have pos equipment, we will work with it to install our efficient and straightforward software, meaning you can use the same devices you previously installed.
• Organized – One of the reasons our pos systems are so helpful is the fact that they make your inventory and sales record much easier and more organized than they would usually be. After processing your order, our pos systems immediately update, keeping your business organized throughout the process.

When you opt into our advanced pos systems, you will take part in all of the above benefits. If you’re interested in learning more about our systems, we encourage you to reach out today!

E-Commerce Payment Systems

With e-storefronts like Amazon and eBay beginning to replace their brick-and-mortar counterparts, it’s safe to say we’ve entered a new era of shopping. It is incredibly convenient to hit a few buttons and have your purchase — whether that includes the week’s groceries or a new computer — shipped to your doorstep. This same convenience is now forcing companies, large and small, to adapt and upgrade their payment processing solutions. If you are worried that your company is not prepared to take on this new virtual market, get help from the e-commerce experts at One Source pos, Inc!

Payment Made Easy

One of the most significant benefits of an online payment-processing system is the convenience that it offers both the buyers and the sellers. Whereas selling your products via a third-party retailer can quickly become a nightmare of hidden fees and hoops, having a well-managed seller portal on your website saves money and avoids all those headaches. Two primary problems with this method are attracting customers and finding the right systems for the job. At One Source pos, Inc., we solve the second problem by ourselves: our online seller portals are easy to navigate for both you and the customer, and our rates are the lowest in the business. Not having to worry about technical problems can let you focus on the first problem: attracting customers to your virtual store!

Processing Online Transactions

The technology behind online payment processing can be a little tricky; after all, the idea of money changing hands via a virtual marketplace can be a difficult one to wrap your head around, especially if you’ve spent decades working in traditional storefronts. However, we make it easy for you: our e-commerce team will set you up with all the essential programs and systems to effectively and safely process online payment information while providing short wait times and a smooth user experience for your customers. This is accomplished using our payment gateway, which will allow secure processing or transactions over the internet. However, you will also be covered if you are making sales on your website, as the gateway can easily integrate with a shopping cart feature.

Low Rates

While many companies promise excellent pos service — for online or traditional retail — One Source pos, Inc. can deliver where others fall flat. And beyond the attractive and user-friendly services and technology we offer, we also have the lowest rates in the business! Our expertise in the field of virtual transactions means we can customize your online shopping experience to best suit the needs of your company, as well as those who frequently shop with you. For instance, you can set up your online shopping cart to check for the shopper’s card verification code and billing address, allowing for better shopper security, as well as lower processing fees for all!

Mobile Credit Card Payments

When people use the term “cashless economy,” it may sound like something out of a science fiction novel. However, the truth is that we are much closer to this reality than you might expect. With the advent of mobile payments — essentially people using digital methods to make purchases, we are coming one step closer to a cashless existence. And while people have been using digital wallets to make online purchases for a long time, many traditional storefronts are making use of mobile payments, accessing new channels and customers by doing so. Using all the available technology to your advantage can help your business get a leg up on the competition as well: you can learn more about this trend by calling One Source pos, Inc. and speaking to our team today!

How Do Mobile Payments Work?

Most of us are familiar with the use of digital payment methods when buying products online. Instead of entering your credit card number, you can use one of several digital wallets to make your purchase. You can also send and receive digital money from friends, family, and even employers. However, mobile payments change the game even more drastically. Using a mobile device, whether a phone, tablet or otherwise, you can pay for products in many traditional storefronts. To accomplish this, a customer simply scans a barcode or app, withdrawing funds from the source of your choice — whether that is a digital account with the store, a digital wallet like Paypal, or a linked debit/credit card.

What are the Advantages of Mobile Payments?

Mobile payments offer several key advantages over standard payment methods. A few of these include:

• One location – If you have ever gotten your various credit cards, gift cards and accounts mixed up, mobile payments may provide the solution. A customer can use their phone to access all of the above, making for a much smoother buying process.
• Encrypted – during the payment process, customer information is protected through an extra line of encryption, making mobile payments a safer way of paying for products and services.
• General convenience – it is easier to organize your various accounts using a single device, but it’s also incredibly convenient to manage these same accounts using that same device. Modern mobile payment makes it possible to send and receive money, transfer funds, and pay for products online and in-person.

With all of these incredible advantages over cash and card payments, the growing momentum behind mobile payments is hardly surprising. In other countries throughout Asia and Europe, mobile payment options have already become a mainstay, and the U.S. seems to be moving in that direction as well.

How Can I Prepare My Business for Mobile Payments?

Preparing your business for the oncoming wave of mobile payments is an easy process. Just as when credit cards began to replace cash as the dominant method of payment, technology has grown and expanded to accommodate for new forms of financial transactions. With the advanced mobile payment processing provided by One Source pos, Inc., your business can take advantage of the many shoppers who are starting to use mobile payment methods.

Payments by Phone

While One source pos, Inc. offers excellent pos systems at a low price, we also understand that some businesses do not necessarily benefit from advanced pos equipment. For these businesses, the stress and related costs of using standard pos systems are not optimal for their company. Luckily, there is an alternate method available: payments by phone! With these systems, the seller can “call in” a sale, complete with the credit card information from the buyer, then receive an immediate confirmation then and there. This easy method is excellent for low-volume sellers and those who operate outside a traditional office setup. However, the benefits of this system can make it appealing to many businesses.

How it Works

When it comes to payments by phone, there is a specific series of steps which you will take to complete each transaction. This standardized system helps avoid any confusion and was designed with the seller’s convenience in mind.

1. Receive a sale – Online selling is convenient and tends to expedite the sales process. But what happens if someone calls in, faxes, or mails a sale order to you? In these cases, payments by phone come in handy.
2. Receive payment info – with the conclusion of the sale, you will also need to receive payment info, whether it is for direct withdrawal from an account or debit/credit card information.
3. Call toll-free number – assuming you already have the MOTO merchant account offered by One Source pos, Inc.; your next step is to “call in” the sale. When you sign on with us, you will receive a toll-free number for this purpose.
4. Input information and receive confirmation – While calling in the sale, you will be asked for information about the sale — including payment and sale information, all of which you should have. Once you enter the information, generally by dialing directly into the phone’s keypad, you will receive a confirmation meaning the sale has gone through.
5. Check your account – in a day or two, the money from the sale should deposit directly into your account!

With these five easy steps, payment processing by phone has never been easier! As long as you have all the necessary information from the sale, the process will always run along these lines, making for a smooth remote transaction!

Benefits of Payments by Phone

If you are a business that specializes in low-volume sales — such as larger, more expensive products, there are several benefits that payments by phone can offer. For one, if your business is suited for using call-in payments, we highly recommend that you pursue this option. As far as pos systems are concerned, payments by phone tend to be the most cost-efficient available.

Along with the up-front cost savings, there is also the added benefit of never needing to mess around with equipment. The entire process is run through a third-party(?) call center, meaning that there will never be any malfunctions, confusion or required maintenance on your end. It is also an incredibly convenient system for anyone who works remotely; the order can be completed on either analog or mobile phones, meaning the easy process can happen anywhere!

Point of Sale Software

Whenever you use a card reader, the process may look relatively simple from the outside. The customer swipes or inserts their card, hits a few buttons, then signs the receipt you’ve printed for them. This process — whether you’re using a portable payment device attached to your phone or a full payment terminal, always repeats in one variation or another. However, without the internal software, none of this is possible. However, pos software solutions assist with many more functions than just monetary transactions. With reliable pos software, you can accomplish track sales, inventory, payroll, and even more! When you get in contact with One Source pos Inc., you will have the option to unlock all of the above, as well as many other benefits!

Our Point-of-Sale Web portal

At One Source pos, Inc., we are happy to offer CardPointe, a proven web portal with several distinct advantages over the rest of the competition. First and foremost, CardPointe is known for its flexibility, making it the perfect payment processing system, regardless of your company’s current setup. This web portal was initially conceived to integrate to a company’s existing payment, accounting, or ordering systems. Further, even if your company does not have any existing infrastructure — such as standard pos computers and devices — CardPointe is capable of adapting to your PC, turning a work computer into a payment-accepting machine. As a result, whether you are setting up a brand-new business or are trying to grow your brand with reliable technological solutions, CardPointe is the way to go!

Though CardPointe is very flexible, easily integrating to your current systems, so you don’t have to deal with downtime, it is also secure and reliable. The CardPointe web portal is a VISA CISP-validated payment application, meaning it has undergone a rigorous inspection by a certified Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) assessor. In short, CISP exists to protect the information and data of cardholders, which could be at risk during a financial transaction. By meeting all the CISP criteria, CardPointe is considered “safe” during financial transactions, whether in-store, over the internet or phone or by mail. Beyond that, other increased security measures — including file encryption and information tokenization — ensures that the customer and the seller remain protected throughout their transactions.

Convenient, Easy-to-use Web portal

Your software may be dependable, secure, and flexible, but that only matters if your employees can effectively work within the system. Luckily, CardPointe is incredibly intuitive and easy for new user adjustment. Between the clean menu screen and large action buttons guiding first-time users through the sales process, CardPointe is very forgiving for those with little prior pos experience. CardPointe can also be setup for various users on the same system. This would mean not all employees who have access to the CardPointe system for performing sales transactions would have access to other system functions such as Dailey Totals, Batch Reports and Gross Sales Dollars. You can limit what each user sees on the system. Finally, the system is also able to take all major credit and debit cards, meaning there are no awkward technical difficulties when you’re on the verge of ringing up a sale.

No Equipment Costs

Not only will we provide the systems themselves, but we will also work directly with your employees, giving one-on-one training tutorials so everyone in your business can accomplish their jobs with the new tech.

Interchange Cost Plus Discount Program

Credit card processing typically works under the “tiered” system of fees for sellers. When you are on a tiered merchant account, your transactions are “sorted” into different categories, making you pay different transaction fees depending on the nature of the sale. For many businesses, the tiered system can be confusing or misleading, as card processors often advertise the rates of the lowest tier, which can differ wildly from the charges for higher-tier transactions. Anyone running a modern business under the tier system will be familiar with how overwhelming the different transaction fees can become. Luckily, there are alternative options: Interchange Plus accounts offer companies a way to avoid the more confusing aspects of transaction fees while saving them tons of money every year. At OneSource pos, Inc., we do you one better, offering an excellent Interchange Cost Plus Program, while protecting your account from additional fees.

How Interchange Plus Works

While the different tiers and seemingly arbitrary markups that come with tiered merchant accounts can get frustrating, sellers for corporations, franchises associations and large banks who work under the Interchange Plus accounts will never have to deal with this. The system is comparatively simple and only consists of two transaction fees:

• Interchange fee – This fee is a small percentage of the total sale, as set by the credit card company. Visa debit cards, for instance, might set their fee at 0.8%. In this case, the fee is set to align with the minimum cost of processing a transaction for the company.
• Markup fee – this is a second, flat-rate fee charged by the company responsible for processing your payment. This fee does not change based on the size of the transaction but applies during every sale. The fee also allows credit card companies to profit, as the interchange fee only covers their processing costs.

To give an example, if you sell $120.00 worth of sports gear, you could pay 0.8% ($.96), plus the flat rate of 0.15%. Thus your total transaction fee would come out to $1.14 in this case. Compare this to a high-tier purchase of the same value, which could run you upwards of 3%, or $3.60! Not only is the payment system more cost-effective in the long-term, but it is also much more transparent and can help you budget for transaction fees better. One Source pos, Inc. offers an Interchange Optimization program. This program actually lowers the cost on some Level 2 and Level 3 transactions. Banks, franchises, and associations cannot do that.

Protecting Your Account

Not only do we offer an excellent program which can save your business thousands of dollars over the years, but we also provide excellent protection from predatory practices. During your contract period, we will protect you from paying any excess profits to the processor, helping you hold onto your hard-earned profits. Reach out today to learn more about the many benefits offered through this program.
