Sage 100 can integrate with various credit card processors and allow you to automatically charge a customers card upon shipment or as a deposit prior to beginning the process of shipment.
We recommend that you periodically review your credit card fees and compare them to a competitive quote to ensure you are receiving the best rate.
If you are swiping cards manually and entering them after-the-fact into Sage then it’s probably worthwhile for you to review an integrated credit card solution that saves you processing steps.
