Interchange Plus vs. Flat Rate Merchant Accounts
Introduction
Merchant accounts and credit card processing systems can be very confusing for business owners seeking new solutions. There is an awful lot of information to wade through when you begin shopping for a credit card solution and without some basic information about what exactly you’re looking (which many credit card companies leave out intentionally) it can become a frustrating experience and you may either give up or just ” go with that one” because you’re really not sure what would be the best. I’d like to provide that basic information in this article so that you can be prepared when faced with such decisions.

USBSwiper 3.6 Released
What’s happening in 3.6?
USBSwiper 3.6 is a small, but very important release. We are now offering PayLeap merchant account services in addition to our existing integration with PayPal Virtual Terminal, PayFlow Pro, and Authorize.Net gateways.
Why is this important?
Up until now, USBSwiper has been and add-on package to provide card swipe solutions to merchants with existing merchant accounts. PayPal Virtual Terminal / Payments Pro has always been our primary focus and will continue to be included in our development moving forward. The PayPal system does not acknowledge Card-Present transactions, though, and as such, do not provide the lowest possible rate for swiped transactions the way a traditional merchant account does. With the addition of our PayLeap merchant account options, USBSwiper can now provide and Interchange-Plus merchant account Powered by PayLeap that may suit your business better than PayPal.
