What are the Pros and Cons of Choosing an Acumatica Payments Partner?

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the endless choices you have when considering a new Acumatica credit card processing solution. One of the many decisions you’ll be facing is whether to do it yourself, or work with an expert partner. To help you understand your choices better, here are a few benefits you can only get by working with a team of experts for your integrated Acumatica payment processing.

Pros: Get a Solution That’s Right For Your Business

A good payment processing company like Nuvei will take the time during your initial discovery call to understand your business, processes, and revenue generation methods. The helps ensure the new payment will be a good fit your business and revenue model. It must also accommodate your demand, sales volume and future growth plans.

Cons: Avoid Being Locked In

One of the most common issues businesses face when seeking a new payments provider is they are trapped in a long-term contract. In some cases, you can’t get the best rates unless you commit to a 3- or 5-year contract term. In the most extreme cases, you can’t get out of the agreement for any reason, even if they increase your fees to intolerable levels.

You should also be very wary of the 3-year automatic renewal term that has a 90-day window. What could happen at the end of three years and you miss that 90-day notice window, you're bound for another three years automatically. That’s a problem if you’re not getting good rates with your provider.

Ideally, you want to look for a provider that offers a month-to-month renewal. This type of term agreement gives you the opportunity to process with much less risk if you're not happy. Paya offers a cancellation policy so nto a long-term contract. Their philosophy is if they’re doing their job right, then you'll be a customer for a long time. If you do decide to leave, you’re not penalized like you might see with other providers.
