The right payment gateway can make or break your ecommerce store. How you set up makes the difference between customers not choosing to spend with you, or making it easy for customers to securely purchase online through your store. One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a merchant processors who provides gateway services is where they are located. The best payment gateway in the USA is one that will truly benefit your business.

There are many reasons it’s beneficial to have a US based team as your merchant account provider. Language barriers, timezone issues, having an assigned contact person to deal with all issues, and knowledge about doing business in the US all come into play.

Here are three top reasons for choosing a USA based payment gateway and merchant account provider, and why they make the best payment gateway for ecommerce businesses.

1. More Processing Power that Meets your Needs

When you process payments domestically, you are paid daily; no more waiting for days and weeks to receive your money. If you process internationally, sometimes it can take a week or even two weeks in arrears to be paid.

With JJS Global, we work with you to get you the fastest payments direct to your bank account. Even when you process internationally, you still get a domestic, US-based customer service team behind you.

2. A Team on the Same Page and Same Side of the World

While outsourcing to the other side of the world can reduce cost, it can also create some issues. It’s great to be able to speak with native English speakers. Many offshore call centers are simply rented call centers, which means they have less knowledge and reason to get things right.

Our team are all employed by JJS Global, which means they are not outsourced. Plus, every client gets a designated relationship manager, who you will know by name, which has its own benefits.

You will feel like your relationship manager knows you and your business, because they do. That makes a world of difference.

3. US Based with US Employees Know US Business Practices

When someone is already familiar with how your business works, it makes life so much smoother. US based merchant services with US employees know how business works here in the US. That can make the difference between a 3 minute call, and multiple calls for the same issue, whether it’s about chargebacks, or uploading large files of transactions. Either way, a fast response and solution is what you need and want.

Travel businesses and lenders are two examples of the many types of businesses that will benefit from a US based payment gateway we offer.

What the Travel Industry Gains:

For time sensitive purchases, whether 90 days out or as far as months out, chargebacks are a major issue. JJS Global has a great system to help with this. First, you get your own relationship manager, who you know by name, and second, our system works well to identify and manage chargeback issues.

What Lenders Gain:

Whether you are a state lender, payday lender, or other short-term lending specialist, fast reliable customer service is a must. Just speaking English means faster transaction times. That leads to a response and a solution faster. Plus, local knowledge of the lending marketing operating processes is a big help.

For example, with time sensitive transactions like when you need to upload a large FTP file, with over 1000 transactions all at one time, if you have any issue, you need that taken care of same day, and ideally the same hour. At JJS Global, we can help with that. Call our office, get an immediate response from the team. Don’t get stuck on payday and let funds just sit in your account doing nothing for you.

All these reasons make for the best payment gateway in the USA. With a US based payment gateway and merchant processor, you can have confidence in the knowledge that transactions will get processed when they need to be, and a local team has your back for a fast, reliable response.
