Tips of the day!

Be wary of companies that lease equipment! Leased equipment can run you thousands of dollars! Leasing contracts are binding! We offer cutting edge equipment for less than $300.00! If you’re not sure where your business is going to be in terms of technology or longevity, renting may be your best option! Compass has a no obligation rental plan that may be right for your business!

Long term contracts with early cancellation fees can cost your business hundreds of dollars when you cancel your account! Cancellation usually occurs when you learn that you could be paying a lot less money through Compass. Many times it’s less expensive to pay the cancellation fees and move on than to continue to incur exorbitant monthly fees! To determine if your business can save money, fax your last month’s processing statement to 503-493-9534 for a no obligation rate quote!

What We Do

Connecting a Web site to the payment processing networks is exceptionally difficult and typically beyond the expertise and technical resources of most online merchants. Instead, merchants can easily connect to the Authorize.Net Payment Gateway, which provides the complex infrastructure and security necessary to ensure fast, reliable and secure transmission of transaction data. Authorize.Net manages the routing of transactions just like a traditional credit card swipe machine you find in the physical retail world, however, Authorize.Net uses the Internet instead of a phone line. See our credit card processing diagram.

The Authorize.Net Payment Gateway is available 24/7 for processing transactions. We also offer a number of value-adding services to assist merchants in managing their businesses and protecting themselves from fraud. Additionally, the free, Authorize.Net Verified Merchant Seal can be added to a merchant's Web site to help build consumer confidence.

Merchants log into a secure Web site called the Merchant Interface to manage their transactions, configure account settings, view account statements, generate reports and more. Since the payment gateway is a browser-based, hosted solution, there is no software to install or maintain.

Typical service fees—setup, monthly, and per- transaction—are determined by our resellers. See our pricing page for more information.

The payment gateway offers many features and options that can be tailored to specific merchant business models.
