In the fast-paced world of digital commerce, reliable payment processing is the lifeblood of any business. However, a growing concern among merchants is the alarming trend of inadequate customer support from payment processing companies, which can have a devastating impact on businesses of all sizes.
Understanding the Impact of Inadequate Payment Processor Customer Support
According to recent data, 59% of customers in the U.S. will abandon a company after several bad payment processing experiences, while 17% will leave after just one poor interaction. Thus, inadequate support from payment processors can lead to:
- Revenue loss due to transaction failures
- Customer dissatisfaction and lost sales
- Operational disruptions and increased stress
- Reputational damage in competitive markets
If you are facing these challenges, make sure you:
- Document everything. Keep detailed records of all support interactions. Log dates, dates, times, and content of communications. And make sure to document any financial losses or customer complaints.
- Escalate within the company by requesting to speak with supervisors or managers and utilizing any dedicated merchant support channels.
- Explore alternative solutions. You might consider having backup payment methods or switching to providers with better support reviews.
Remember to review your contract for support-related clauses and discuss legal remedies for breach of service with your merchant processing litigator.
