Don’t Get Locked into a One-Sided Processor Relationship

January 9, 2023

Are you locked in a one-sided relationship with your POS provider?

How does it make you feel when POS systems that refuse to be processor-neutral keep raising your pricing just to feed their stock prices?

Does it make you frustrated when you can’t move your processing without being penalized to the extreme?

If it does, you’re not alone. The truth is: Most POS systems lock merchants into one merchant services processor.

It’s like being held hostage! Why do they do this? Unfortunately, it’s just because they can. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

Committing to a POS you love should never mean committing to a payment processor you don’t. You can find POS providers, such as Total Touch, that aren’t looking to take advantage of you. There are POS providers that will be on your side and are committed to your success.

There are many reasons why you want to have full autonomy over your choice of merchant services processor. These include competitive processing fees, the level of integration offered, security features, and even the expertise of each processing company's vendors. Don’t let yourself be tied down to partners who don’t have your best interests at heart.

What a Quality POS Provider Relationship Looks Like

No merchant should be forced to get rid of a processor they’re happy with just to implement a new POS system. Additionally, they should remain free to adjust their processors down the road as they choose without worrying about POS compatibility. Stick with processors you love or enjoy the freedom to try new ones by partnering with a flexible POS Provider. 

Committing to a POS system you love should never mean committing to a payment processor you don’t.

Neutrality is king. Not all payment processors are created equal, and the one you use can greatly impact your ability to make a profit. For instance, although every option will take a small fee every time you take a customer payment, some have more insidious hidden fees than others. 

A quality POS provider will allow you to enjoy a system that works seamlessly in tandem with the merchant services processor of your choice. A provider that isn't committed to transparency and your interests will hold their power over your head and force you to make inefficient choices that ultimately drag your business down. Remain in control by choosing a provider who cares about your success.
