PAYPAL ALTERNATIVES
CONSIDER THIS
Flat Rate vs Our Rate
PayPal
A flat rate fee for each swipe only puts more money into their pockets, not yours.
Badgers Business Solutions
It’s simple. You pay only on the cards you take. Paying anywhere from .05% to 3%. Saving you a lot of money.
Who Do You Call?
PayPal
When you have an issue, don’t you want someone to pick up the phone and take care of it for you… immediately?
The person on the other side of the line does not know who you are. You are another account to them.
Badgers Business Solutions
To us, you are a client. You will have our number to call. Customer service is always available 24/7/365.
What if you have a problem?
PayPal
You get an account online through a third party site, a website or at a box store. There is no agent. You reach whomever answers the phone or responds to an email. This is your money we are talking about. You don’t have a problem, until you do. What then?
Badgers Business Solutions
With us, you get an agent who will take care of the problem for you. You get to run your business and we take care of any issue you may have.
PayPal is a Third Party
PayPal
What does that mean? This means you don’t have an account with Visa and Mastercard. You will have to rely on PayPal to take care of any problem you have. They must fight on your behalf.
Badgers Business Solutions
You have a direct account with Visa and Mastercard. You deal directly with them and not a third party.
Will PayPal spend money with you?
Badgers Business Solutions
We are local and living in your community. Either directly or indirectly, we are helping support your business in our community.
PayPal
Nope . . . not going to happen.
Does PayPal offer free advertising? Locally?
Badgers Business Solutions
