With that said, the majority of Businesses especially Micro Businesses, Freelancers, and Contractors still are not able to accept credit card payments. In the remainder of this blog, we will discuss more about this 50 years old challenge.
The Top 3 reasons why Businesses are not Accepting Credit Card payment
Low Credit Card Payment Volume: The main factor that underlies the issues of accepting credit card payments for micro-businesses is the eligibility of these micro-businesses to apply for a Credit Card Terminal or Payment Gateway. This is because the low volume of transactions does not justify the cost and effort to obtain credit card receiving facilities such as credit card terminals, payment gateway, or a website.
Cost: Another main factor is the cost. As a small business, every cent matters. Hence, putting the extra cost on processing fees, interchange fees, and other recurring fees will be a financial strain to the already low margin of these micro-businesses.
Skills Set: The majority of Micro Businesses are not equipped with the skills set needed to apply, configure, and set up payment gateways on a website. Therefore, many have refused to explore this resource-consuming effort.
However, these issues should not be ongoing forever, and a solution is needed to help these businesses to move forward and succeed.
