Jump to: Accept by Phone vs Traditional Processing :: Specific Benefits for Attorneys

For most professionals, accepting credit cards is quite costly.

In fact, most merchant services will have a full range of fees, expenses and volume quotas (with minimum monthly charges) that aren't advertised up-front along with a supposedly inexpensive discount rate. And "free equipment" usually turns out to be anything but..

This is where Accept by Phone truly shines, because with us, what you see is what you get - period. In fact, we're one of the few companies that actually advertises its terms and conditions right on the main page - because, unlike most, we have nothing to hide.

A traditional merchant account might be suitable for high-volume retail vendors - but for solo attorneys and small-firm lawyers - accepting credit cards "traditionally" with a normal merchant account (and a terminal) is simply not cost-effective, efficient or necessary.

Accept-by-Phone is able to bypass the majority of these costs due to the way that it is designed to work. See specific details below:
