Professional Solutions' Payment Gateway

A Powerful Tool for Your Business

If you accept online payments, modern, versatile payment software can make all the difference in your business. That's exactly what you get with Professional Solutions Financial Services' payment gateway. Whether you refer to it as your cloud-based payment portal, virtual terminal or payment gateway, it delivers.

Payment Gateways – A Look Back

When payment gateways were first developed, they were basically a virtual terminal that only accepted payments. As businesses needed more functionality from their virtual terminals, developers expanded the capabilities and features offered.

This flexibility means payment gateways can now easily support many different industries, from mail order businesses to call centers and membership-based businesses, such as a gym or yoga studio. By having so many functions available in one place, businesses like yours don’t have to piecemeal different software together and hope it integrates properly. 

Professional Solutions’ Gateway

At Professional Solutions, we understand the unique needs of small business owners. To best serve you, we offer a payment gateway that includes as many helpful functions as possible in an easy-to-use way. You’ll find the following features in Professional Solutions’ payment gateway:

  • Electronic invoice generator – Produce invoices and email them to your customers. You can tie the notices to your inventory system to subtract any items you are billing for from your inventory.
  • Inventory control – Automatically remove items from your business inventory as they are sold. Tie inventory records to customer invoices and subtract inventory as you are billing for it.
  • Robust reporting – Access various reports from the premade options available. Or, use the custom report wizard to create your own report. You can also schedule reports. For example, if you need a weekly summary of all transactions, it can be emailed to you automatically.
  • Product database – Keep track of SKUs, generate bar codes and manage all of your products in one database.
  • Customer database – Easily store relevant customer information to track purchases. Add an unlimited number of names. Set up recurring billing options.

Professional Solutions Gives You More

Many payment gateways include similar features. At Professional Solutions, we worked hard to give our customers even more.

No Transaction Fees

It’s common for many payment gateways to charge transaction fees. Some charge five cents per transaction, including each time you settle a batch. With Professional Solutions’ payment gateway, you may qualify for one flat rate with unlimited use.

Unlimited Users

Professional Solutions’ gateway allows you to have as many users in your business as you’d like at no additional cost. Even if you have a large business with several employees, there is no extra charge.

You determine the level of access each employee has from Administrator to Supervisor to Clerk. For example, if your accountant only needs to see certain reports, you can set those parameters. If you have a website developer who needs temporary access, you can delete the user profile or suspend it when they are done.

You can also see when each employee logged in to the gateway, which helps mitigate the risk of fraud and theft from within your business. This level of control isn’t available with many other payment gateways.

Questions Answered

We want you to get the most from Professional Solutions’ payment gateway. It helps to understand exactly how it can benefit you and your business. Here are some frequent questions we get from business owners like you.

If I don’t accept online payments, how can the payment gateway benefit me?

Even if you only have face-to-face transactions at your business, Professional Solutions’ payment gateway can support the features and functions of a countertop terminal.

From the terminal, you can print a receipt, get a card-present rate, and support multiple terminals. If you want more user management, you can log in and download reports. All the reporting is captured by the gateway to give you an extra level of functionality you wouldn’t have with just a standard countertop terminal.

How long does the payment gateway store my information?

All historical data is retained on a database. There are no plans to purge data at this point. (Most gateways will store information for at least 7 years.)

How is downtime prevented?

We know downtime costs you and your business money. That’s why the gateway has several backup servers in the U.S. and one abroad.

Is the gateway compatible with most shopping carts?

Absolutely! The payment gateway is compatible with over 70 shopping carts.

How does the payment gateway protect my business?

There are several fraud prevention filters and tools in place to help protect your customers’ card information. For example, programs are in place to verify the address of the cardholder, block potential threats, help prevent hackers from accessing your customers’ online payment information and more.

What if I need help or have questions?

We want to hear from you anytime you have questions. You can call our U.S.-based helpdesk at 800-437-0712. After 5:00 CT, call 866-872-3729.
