Accept Credit Cards At A Convenience Store

Convenience store merchant account needs are very different from the average retailer. Credit card processing is simply the beginning. The store owner must consider many different options, as customers look for certain payment solutions when entering a convenience store. To compete with other stores many options should be considered.

First is a ATM Machine, as customers on the road are looking for cash and expect to find it in a convenience store. Owners can profit by the “Surcharge”, usually between $2.00 - $3.00 per transaction. These fees can add-up quickly, in the right location.

Next we have Age Verification for convenience stores who sell beer or tobaco products. Selling these products to minors can result is large fines from the authorities. Further, you could lose your license to sell these products, making a sweet opportunity for your competition. Age verification products can confirm that your customer is of legal age and provide “Proof” that your employee carded that individual, should you be questioned by the authorities.

Next we have EBT Food Stamp acceptence. This product will open the door for food sales to people receiving government benefits. These sales will be lost to your competition, if you don’t accept food stamps. If you have a deli counter and sell milk, bread, and cheese, you should qualify for this program through the Department Of Agriculture and your credit card processor.

Next is for convenience stores selling gasoline. Gas customers prefer to Pay-At-Pumps when they do not need anything from the store. Your gasoline sales are very competitive and this added convenience is a must if you are looking to compete. Finding a merchant account provider who offers this, can be a hard task and if you need help, please give me a call.

Another lucrative product is Pre-Paid Cards. Pre-Paid Cards are becomming very popular and vary from Pre-Paid Cellular, Pre-Paid Debit, Pre-Paid Long Distance, and the list goes on. Cards are placed at your location for free and you profit from every sale. This will also create customer loyalty with repeat business. Consider selling pre-paid cards and profit with no investment.

In closing, a convenience store owner should consider partnering with a merchant account provider that can provide many different solutions. These products will create customer loyalty and satisfaction.
