2. Contract Terms: Review the terms of service, including any early termination fees, contract length, and potential rate increases.
3. Customer Support: Look for a provider with reliable customer support, especially if your business operates during non-standard hours.
4. Integration Options: Consider the compatibility of the merchant account with your existing hardware or software, as well as its ability to integrate with your online store or point-of-sale system.
5. Security Features: Prioritize providers that offer robust security measures to protect your customers' payment data.
6. Reputation and Reliability: Research the provider's reputation, reliability, and track record for uptime and service quality.
