In an effort to bring you continued industry insights in an easy to digest manner, we started a series called Lunch Bites - short industry specific conversations served up in the time it takes you to make a sandwich. In this edition of Lunch Bites, we met with Simon Quinn, Director of Sales at CertiPro, to discuss the changing world of B2B eCommerce and tips to improve the customer expectations as sales shift between brick-and-mortar and online.

For many companies, selling online hasn’t been optional for a long time. The recent pandemic only accelerated the move to omni-channel sales for manufacturers and distributors. Using solutions that integrate with one another can help you streamline business processes and improve partner sales cycles, adding more value to your partner relationship.  

Integrated Level 3 payment processing is crucial for B2B companies using Sage in order to streamline workflows, save money, and efficiently leverage the Sage integration.

Is your Sage payments provider meeting your needs as a B2B business, or causing you to miss out on major Level 3 savings? Not all Sage solutions provide the features and functionality that merchants need.  COVID-19 has placed many new constraints and challenges on businesses of all kinds this year. Adapting to the new normal of remote work and digital payments requires payment solutions that do much more than simply process credit cards and debit cards.  This blog introduces you to the benefits of Level 3 B2B processing for Sage users, and lists 5 features that your business needs to demand from your payments provider - or what to look for in a new payments solution if your current provider fails to deliver.

B2B payments are going cashless because of COVID-19 and businesses are implementing new technologies to adapt to remote work.  Processing credit card transactions safely online is more important than ever due to this shift. Many businesses are upgrading from paper invoicing to online payment portals to improve cash flow and customer satisfaction.  

The APS Payments Sage 300 integration is designed to help clients save time and money with integrated payments, and with the added APS ClickToPay functionality, merchants can now get Sage 300 invoices paid faster with an online payment portal.

There is a lot to think about when searching for a Sage payment processing provider. The process is often time consuming and complicated. Many payment processors will tell you that they can offer you the best rates but few will reveal how they set their pricing. Instead, you will often be forced to sift through deliberately confusing merchant statements while trying to find the best rates for your business and discern what hidden fees you are being charged. Much more important than pricing, however, is the quality of the services and uptime you will receive as well as how the solutions that you choose to adopt fit your individual business needs. Integrated payment processors like APS Payments integrate right into your Sage platforms, making it easy, cost effective, and time efficient.  The APS Payments transparent business model focuses first on educating potential clients on their current pricing, reviewing the payment options available to them, and then custom tailoring the right solutions for their business that seamlessly integrate into the systems they already use.
