Now, merchants will need to use a payment gateway, and will incur a per transaction fee.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Option 1: use payment gateway from existing merchant services provider.<\/strong> Pros: it might be free. Cons: The average merchant changes processors every three years so business will be disrupted again later. The gateway directly impacts interchange rate qualification and the provider may have limited tools to help automate qualification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Option 2: use independent payment gateway and keep existing merchant services provider.\u00a0 <\/strong>Pros: Get exactly what you need for all sales channels, reducing PCI Compliance burden, increasing efficiency, security and profits. Cons: It might or might not cost more, though expenses are likely to be offset by other benefits, including better interchange rate qualification, which will more than offset the differential. Examples: CenPOS, authorize.net.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Contact<strong> 3Dmerchant.com for assistance to replace PCCharge with a payment gateway.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 23, 2015, Verifone, Inc.
