Stripe?vs A Merchant Account
Stripe…. great tell their not!
Stripe
Stripe is a huge third party aggregator (middleman) that operates in over 25 countries allowing private individuals and businesses to accept payments.
Badgers Business Solutions
Removing the middleman (Stripe) out of credit card processing and setting businesses up with their own merchant account directly with Visa and Mastercard.
Yes…. your own Merchant Account offers the same online benefits Stripe does.
COMPARE
Flat Rate vs Our Rate
Stripe
Any business owner I talk to wants to put as much money in their pocket as possible. Stripe charges a flat rate which puts more money into their pockets, not yours.
Badgers Business Solutions
It’s simple. You pay the swipe rate on a card. You could be potentially paying anywhere from .05% to 3%. Saving you a lot of money.
Integration
We have many solutions that allow you the ability to integrate credit card processing into your website or into an online software company.
Say you have a website with or without a shopping cart and you would like to accept credit card payments. We can do that.
Say you do your invoicing, calendar, scheduling, reminders, products, etc. through a software company. It’s very well possible we can integrate in the credit card processing allowing you to save money.
Equipment / Gateway
Stripe

Who Do You Call?
Stripe
Stripe has one merchant account and you share it with every other Stripe account. 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?
Stripe
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.
Stripe is a "Third Party"
Stripe
What does that mean? This means you don’t have an account with Visa and Mastercard. Stripe has you share one merchant account with all of their clients. You will have to rely on Stripe 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 Stripe 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.
Stripe
Nope . . . not going to happen.
Does Stripe offer you free advertising? Locally?
Badgers Business Solutions
It’s not professional to say this, but it’s true. If you make money, we make money. We want you to succeed. Therefore, one way we help your businesses succeed is to provide you with a free web page online. Free extra online exposure is not bad these days. Right?!? You will get a free webpage on our website www.BeVocalShopLocal.com. The site allows you to add a detailed and personal description about you and your services, link to your website, phone number, email, and photos.
Stripe
