Why credit and debit cards are great for your martial arts school
At Kicksite, we see clients accepting payments from students in a variety of ways. While some schools have taken the important step of setting up credit and debit card processing, many others are still dealing with cash (or even checks!) or receiving money through apps like Venmo and Paypal. Although these methods may seem easier, we firmly believe that it’s vital for school owners to accept debit and credit cards and integrate that payment processing with their martial arts software.
Wondering why credit and debit cards are such a powerful asset for your martial arts school? Read further to dive into the key benefits that can transform how you manage finances and your payments experience.
Understanding Credit and Debit Cards
As a school owner, selecting the right payment methods is a key driver of your success. In an increasingly cashless and digital world, offering flexible, secure and reliable payment options can transform student and parent satisfaction, increase revenue and drive business growth. Accepting credit and debit cards using a payment processor like our friends at Basys, is an incredibly wise choice for your martial arts school.
Although digital payment apps have become increasingly popular, credit and debit cards are still the most trusted and widely accepted payment methods, providing a seamless way to process transactions for you and your students.
By using a payment solutions company like Basys, you can easily accept all major credit and debit cards. In turn, this gives your customers a simple, secure payment experience plus fast payment processing for you and your school!
Benefits of Credit Cards for Martial Arts Schools
Immediate Payment
Credit card transactions are processed and settled quickly, giving you your money faster. Checks, ACH, and other payment methods can take a few days to clear, but credit card transactions keep your cash flow moving smoothly and consistently.
Basys offers Kicksite customers next-day funding, so that hard-earned money is in your account as quickly as possible. Faster access to the money you’ve earned means you can focus on what really matters—teaching your students and helping your school grow.
Higher Sales Potential
By accepting credit cards, you’re opening the door for students to make bigger ticket purchases. Customers appreciate the convenience of credit cards, and are more likely to spend a little extra when they use them. In turn, this leads to greater sales potential for your martial arts school.
With Basys’ cutting-edge payment solutions, managing transactions is simple and efficient—both online and in-school. By offering students their preferred payment options, you create a seamless checkout experience that can help boost sales.
Student Preference
Credit cards are the preferred way to pay for millions of people. Providing the option for credit card transactions creates a hassle-free, customer-focused experience that encourages loyalty. When the checkout or recurring billing process is seamless, it can enhance satisfaction and increase the likelihood of return visits and retained students.
Customized payment solutions from Basys help stay on top of the game and give your students the modern conveniences they expect and the security they need. Tap-and-go contactless payments, mobile wallets – you name it!
Fraud Protection
Credit cards come with built-in fraud protection and chargeback rights, ensuring businesses are protected against fraudulent transactions. Compared to other payment methods, which may expose you to more risk, credit cards provide a safer, more secure option for your business.
