The Importance of Payment Processing

Select The Right Partner

As a business owner, you're aware of the importance payment processing has on your business. Cost, reliability, customer service, selection of devices and many other factors come into play, each of which can make a significant impact on your cash flow, profitability and customer satisfaction.

There's no shortage of providers out there, but they vary markedly in quality and cost: to investigate each can be a painstaking, time-consuming process.

At Windward Software , it's very much in our interest to ensure that we are "in-the-know" when it comes to payment processing providers. After all, our primary product, Windward System Five , is a business management software solution, complete with a leading point-of-sale (POS) module.

As such, we're pleased to let you know that you can, if you wish, cease your internet research and telephone inquiries: we have done the vetting for you.

Our work has resulted in the selection of three highly-respected and highly-functional providers that offer flexible options and reliable payment processing services.

These recommended partners are: Vantiv (now Worldpay), Omega Processing Solutions , and Sterling Payment Technologies .

These three providers have passed the stringent requirements demanded by Windward Software to be considered a recommended payment processing partner.

We dig deep and evaluate such factors as contract flexibility, supported payment options, PIN pad availability, cloud compatibility, next-day funding, geographical service area, processing fees (including cents per transaction and basis points), and more.

Windward has researched, reviewed and contacted numerous processors, and only our stated short list meets our expectations .

Importantly, when selected by a client of Windward System Five , each Windward processing partner also provides payment in full for Datacap's NETePay . This is a necessary add-on component for conducting fully-integrated payment transactions.

Just to reiterate that last point: each of Vantiv, Omega and Sterling will provide the payment for NETePay so our customers don't have to .

If you're an existing Windward Software client and are unsatisfied with your current payment processing provider, please contact your Windward Account Manager at +1 (800) 663-5750 . They will listen and recommend one of our partners that will best suit your needs. There is no fee at anytime from Windward for any payment processing consultation.
