Chuck, Do you use Quickbooks Online, or the desktop installed version. Either one can be hooked to Authorize.net, but the online version is much easier. Once you get to Authorize.net, you can use almost any credit card fulfillment company. We would strongly recommend talking to your bank to see who they might sell/resell. Over time we moved our all in percentage from north of 4% to less than 3%. I think we are sitting at 2.8% with all monthly fees and charges as well as the per transaction charges included. It is kind of a pain to switch, but if you go to your bank, someone will actually talk to you and work with you. Even if you don’t switch to your bank for processing, once you are on Authorize.net, you can use just about any processor, so you can pick the one you like. From when we looked at Quickbooks credit card processing a few years back, by the time you added in transaction fees and monthly fees, it was almost 5%. You really have to watch the transaction rate and the fees on the different credit card types Most processors advertise a low rate per transaction, but when customers use rewards cards, the fees are lots higher. Use a processor that charges a flat rate for all cards if you can find one. Once we did that, our average transaction percentage went way down.

It generates and sends invoices automatically. No extra charge. I am going to continue to use QB. So adding a Sonar or Powercode will add expense and work. Do they automatically interface with QB?

They're cheaper than the manual labor to do what they do automatically. We use Payment Depot for processing and they include Authorize.net gateway. Our average card rate for all credit/debit is 2.3% through them. On Thu, Apr 29, 2021 at 4:31 PM Adam Moffett <dmmoff...@gmail.com<mailto:dmmoff...@gmail.com>> wrote: Why would they NOT want that? Don't they get a % on your transactions? I should think they'd want you to be their best frickin friend.

We are not doing any autobilling. She has hope it is fixable. I don’t have any hope but it will be a nice surprise if they do make it right. Normally I have more tenacity than she does with this kind of stuff.

I had a similar problem years ago with an account that the merchant provider had classified in a high-risk category of 'online services', i.e. things like online gaming and porn. Once I got it straightened out to be the right category and the merchant provider understood my business better everything worked out.
