As a merchant there are several factors
to consider before you decide to accept credit cards in your business.
First you should ask yourself, "is it
really necessary to accept credit cards and will it be cost effective to
accept credit cards in my business?
If
the answer is yes, then you need to examine the best way to set up an
account with a credit card processing company.
The first reaction for most merchants is to contact their bank. That is
usually the poorest way to get set up to accept credit cards because
only a select few of the largest banks in the country are in the credit
card processing business. Most banks will outsource credit card
processing to a company that is set up to handle card processing
accounts. The bank will almost always add a surcharge onto the fee that
the card processors charge, thereby adding to your cost. As a cost
conscience merchant, you should always attempt to get the best product
and the best price available without sacrificing service.
To
that end, Alpha Cash Express has partnered with the best processors,
leasing companies and equipment manufactures to keep you, the merchant,
satisfied.
We
can either switch you to one of our processors for a low sign up fee
even if you are already accepting credit cards, and give you the best
overall rates in the industry. Or, if you are just starting your
business, we can provide you with your entire setup, which will include
low rates, the right equipment, low lease payments and the best service
in the industry.

Equipment: From our experience the most user friendly credit card
processing machine is the NURIT 2085. The NURIT 2085 is an advanced and
truly compact point-of-sale (POS) terminal with a built-in fast printer
supporting credit, debit, check, electronic benefits transfer (EBT),
phone cards and other electronically submitted transactions including
those made by the use of smart chip cards. The NURIT 2085 is
exceptionally user friendly and very fast due to its high speed built-in
thermal printer that eliminates the need for costly ribbon replacement,
thus substantially reducing mechanical malfunction and increasing
transaction speed. The NURIT's large, high-contrast alphanumeric LCD
display and menu-driven software, together with four LCD "soft keys" and
four programmable function keys, allow the user to access every feature
of the terminal easily and quickly. The features of the NURIT 2085 is
one of the most user friendly machines on the market for the restaurant
industry, because of the ease to add in tips when you are ready to batch
out at night. The auto batch feature alone is worth the price of the
machine.
