A Range Of Revenue Generating Services and 10% off Credit Card Processing Fees

Card Commerce today announced the launch of Card Commerce Merchant Services, building on its established position as the UK and Ireland’s leading provider of closed loop giftcard programmes.  The company will now offer a new range of cost effective payments solutions to Merchants - Credit and Debit Card Processing, Gift Card, Promotions, Rewards, Dynamic Currency Conversion and Tax Free – all of which are designed to reduce costs and increase revenues. 

Since 2004, Card Commerce has provided its industry leading giftcard service to partners including Elavon Merchant Services, Barclaycard, HSBC and Fexco and boasts a list of Merchants that includes Trailfinders, Easons, Arnotts, The Shelbourne Hotel, Carton House, Gamestop and Carlton Hotels. 

Said Scott McInnes, Marketing Director at Card Commerce, “Over the past six years we have built up the UK and Ireland’s largest number of giftcard programmes and, in doing so, have developed a wealth of experience, relationships and knowledge that we are now using to further benefit Merchants.” 

He continued,” Our research has shown that, while many Merchants see their credit card terminal as a necessity, they don’t always look for the best deal from their existing provider.  We believe that we can immediately save many of those Merchants at least 10% on their existing fees –potentially hundreds or thousands of pounds in their first year.  And, as well as that, we can offer them a range of other services designed to reduce their costs and increase sales” 

These new services include: 

Gift Card - Increase sales and decrease theft, fraud and programme costs by replacing an existing paper voucher programme with gift cards or, indeed, introducing a new gift card programme 

Savings and Promotions - Offer your customers a savings scheme to spread the cost of special events like Christmas or a wedding for example (and guarantee that they spend that money with you!) and launch promotions to get more customers into your shop more often 

Rewards - Our Rewards solution will allow you to capture customer details and design a programme to reward their continued loyalty in a variety of different ways.  

Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) & Tax Free Shopping - Offer your international customers an easy way to claim their sales tax back and allow them to pay for goods in their home currency whilst, at the same time, generating new revenue for you. 

Said McInnes, “Combining cheaper credit and debit card processing and this range of services onto a single, easy to use terminal will provide immediate benefit to Merchants across the UK and Ireland by reducing their costs, increasing their sales and providing new ways to interact with their customers.”
