A smooth shopping experience is essential to any e-commerce site. Online customers will often abandon their cart and not purchase anything if the checkout process is difficult or if their preferred method of payment is not offered. Being able to cancel an order or a line item on the order makes the experience that much better! Using compatible new payment methods is an additional challenge for companies using Sage 100 and selling their products online.
A sure way to provide that top notch experience we’ve described is with integrated payment processing. We’ve found the best solutions will include fully optimized and automated payment functions such as on-demand tokenization, simple routing and authorization workflows, and front-end features that enhance the customer experience.
Benefits of Integrated Payment Processing
Because payment types and options are changing so rapidly, many businesses choose to integrate third-party payment processing software into their existing ERP and/or e-commerce site. Integrated processing of credit cards and other forms of payment allow the transaction to be finalized in Sage 100 ERP. This allows for easily changing the order to add freight or remove a backordered item. Such a system can also store credit card numbers securely if the customer selects that option. Many solutions also include powerful reporting features, giving insight into a company’s cash flow.

The following are the four payment processors (listed in alphabetic order) that are compatible with Sage 100:

Customers can securely save their credit cards in the system if they desire. EBizCharge connects to EMV devices and even has a mobile app. It’s a native integration, so no third-party login is necessary to use it. All incoming data is immediately synched to Sage 100.
