Payment processor FAQs
Which payment solution is right for me?
It depends on your business size and unique needs. Some businesses, like those operating from a brick and mortar, thrive with a standalone terminal at the counter and some need a point of sale with menu items or inventory management capabilities. Some make online sales only and others need to accept payments in the field or all of the above. No matter what you need — we got you covered. Your Heartland rep will ask you a series of questions about how you conduct business so we can match the right solutions to your business.
Do you have a surcharge or cash discount program?
Yes and yes! Our cash discount not only rewards your cash-paying customers, it also saves you money with zero interchange fees on cash transactions. We support surcharging on many of our payment devices. Our compliant surcharge program enables you to surcharge up to 3% on credit card transactions to help offset your card processing fees.
What kind of support is available?
When you’re open, we are too. We offer 24/7 customer service with English and Spanish-speaking specialists. We also have technical support experts available from 8 am to 9 pm EST should you need assistance with any hardware.
What kind of security do you offer?
We utilize end-to-end encryption technology, which immediately encrypts credit and debit card data as it is captured. We also lock down stored data with tokenization technology, which replaces card data with “tokens” — removing sensitive credit card information as it is passed through the card networks.
How can I get started?
