Merchants using the calculator will also receive a personalized analysis comparing their effective rate with their industry, and recommendations for lowering payment costs. Optimized Payments Consulting has also launched a series of free monthly webinars that discuss strategies merchants can employ to not only lower their payment costs, but also to increase sales. The firms' analysts will discuss industry best practices and allow attendees to get answers to their specific payments questions. The key to reducing credit card processing costs is investing time to understand and leverage the nuances of the industry. Now, Optimized Payments Consulting provides resources to merchants to reduce the complexity of credit card processing and improve their bottom line.
