A Philadelphia business payment-processing checklist
- Map counter, table-service, field, invoice, online, recurring, ACH, debit, and credit-card transactions before comparing providers.
- Identify terminals, POS systems, online ordering, invoicing, accounting, customer records, reporting, staff access, and other software connections that need to continue working.
- Compare transaction pricing, fixed account charges, equipment ownership, software, gateway, support, settlement expectations, customer communication, cancellation terms, and any customer-pricing approach in a written proposal.
- Assign responsibilities for equipment configuration, workflow testing, staff training, customer notices, payment-data practices, support, and escalation before a change.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Philadelphia business request a statement review without switching?
Yes. A statement review can organize questions about transaction categories, fixed charges, equipment, software, support, and written terms. It does not require a business to change providers or promise a particular rate, savings result, approval, or outcome.
Can existing terminals or POS equipment be reused?
It depends on the exact device, POS software, processor relationship, account setup, ownership terms, and written agreement. Confirm compatibility, configuration, support, and any replacement needs before making a change.
Can Custom Payments support ACH and recurring billing?
ACH and recurring-payment options depend on the approved processor, gateway, software, customer authorization, account configuration, and written terms. A review can map the business workflow and questions to confirm before implementation.
How should a business compare dual pricing, cash discount, and surcharging?
Compare customer communication, price display, transaction mix, debit treatment, POS configuration, processor terms, and current card-network and legal requirements with qualified advisers before deciding which approach fits the business.
What should be reviewed before connecting payment processing with QuickBooks or other software?
Confirm the specific software version, connector or gateway, authorization and data-handling needs, invoice and reconciliation workflow, reporting, support responsibilities, costs, and written compatibility terms before connecting systems.
