FAQs

How do I know which payment processor to select?

There are tons of options in payment processors and many different ways to accept card payments but not every payment processing company is the same. Some things you want to consider when selecting a credit card processor include:

  • Industry experience. At VMS we have over 20 year of experience as a merchant account provider.
  • Tailored to your industry. Every business has different needs and it is important to select a credit card processing company that is familiar with your type of business and has payment processing software to support your specific needs.
  • Commitment to data security. Data security is more important than ever with fraud at an all time high. Select a company with PCI compliance and dedication to the security of your information as well as your customers.
  • Customer support. When it comes to processing payments, it is important to receive service at the moment you need it. When you select VMS to handle your payment solutions, we have 24/7 in-house customer service.
  • Pricing transparency. Other merchant service providers will charge hidden payment processing fees, high monthly fee(s), multiple transaction fee charges labeled differently but for the same thing and other unnecessary fees for card transactions. At VMS, our motto is 'Believe in Small Business' and we are committed to your success in many ways, with fair, transparent billing at the top of the list.
Is VMS a secure payment processor?

When handling and transmitting sensitive data, it is important to select a reputable payment processor. VMS processes transactions through First Data, a processor for over 6 million merchant locations worldwide. The payment terminal you select with VMS is secure in the transmission of data. We only sell equipment that is safe to process payments and sensitive information.

The ability to accept different payment methods is important when selecting a payment processor.

What type of POS equipment do I need?

There are a lot of options when it comes to POS equipment. Depending on the type of business you run, the POS system you select makes a big difference. With VMS, a specialist will learn about your business to guide you in the appropriate selection. But, it doesn’t stop there, once you select the right equipment a Clover Specialist will assist you with the apps you need to install and with setting them up.

Working capital requires no collateral, no personal guarantee and has no fixed terms or fixed payment amounts. Payback is done through split funding of card receivables meaning when sales drop, you pay less and when sales increase you pay more.
