The Hidden Cost of Integration
Webinar Topic:
This webinar will cover what every climbing gym owner and manager needs to know about the unregulated world of credit card processing, how to go about securing the best rates for your industry, and how integration comes into play. As the cost of doing business continues to rise, and with processors looking to slip in fees where they can, it’s more crucial than ever to be aware of what’s lurking in your merchant statements. Plus: you’ll see a preview of our proprietary technology, a custom client portal that allows you to have an at-a-glance understanding of all your accounts.
Course Objectives We'll Cover:
- Are you being overcharged by your credit card processor?
- How will Merchant Advocate work with my processing software?
- What is the hidden cost of integration?
