Importance of payment processing for tax prep

Your relationship with your payment processor is one of the most important relationships you’ll have as a tax prep/accounting firm.

At Corepay, we pride ourselves in our transparency and have established strong relationships and communication with our clientele.

In the world of payment processing, one significant challenge your accounting or tax prep business might face is dealing with chargebacks. These occur when a customer disputes a transaction, causing a reversal of funds. Not only does a chargeback result in lost sales, but it can also damage your reputation with credit card processors.

Chargebacks occur in the tax prep and accounting industry due to many phone and online transactions.

How to choose a payment processor

Given the complexities of chargebacks and the unique needs of your accounting or tax prep business, it’s essential to select a payment processor that aligns with your specific requirements.

When choosing a processor, we recommend to do the following:

• Compare services such as payment acceptance: virtual terminal, mobile, payment gateway, MOTO, etc.
• Compare rates: Prices vary heavily from processor to processor.
• Experience: Always choose a partner that has experience in your field. At Corepay, we are extremely familiar with the accounting and tax prep industry.
