PayLeap Products & Services

 

Hardware and Software

PayLeap offers a wide range of payment options to cover brick and mortar businesses, mobile businesses, and eCommerce merchants. Their goal appears to replace leased terminals with free virtual terminals run from merchant laptops, computers, tablets, and phones.

While this is not necessary to increase business, they push it as a lower-cost option.

According to their website, they also integrate their payment gateways with any existing POS system.

They do not specify any physical terminals, which indicates they either integrate with existing systems or utilize their free virtual terminals.

Value-Added Services

PayLeap offers a wide helping of value-added services. Most are geared toward building business, but a few are just there to help vendors.

Recurring Billing - this establishes a payment cycle with a merchant’s clients and keeps the collections professional.

Gift Cards - build brand awareness and draw in new customers.

Secure Vault Storage - offers customers peace of mind by taking data security to the next level.

Live Training and Support - a few processing companies offer 24/7 live tech support. PayLeap took it to the next level with live training as well to increase customer potential.

Custom Branding - along with gift cards, custom branding helps a business create immediately recognizable brand awareness.

Growth Advantage Tools - back-office analytics are important for businesses to understand how their processing is being completed and learn how to streamline and increase their revenue stream.

O-Desk - a partner or PayLeap, this service helps merchants establish themselves in the eCommerce market through web development.

PayLeap Pricing, Rates & Fees

 

PayLeap appears to be one of the few companies to post their pricing on their website. They do, however, make it known that the interchange-plus pricing presented is a starting place. It appears that the rates could alter some depending on the business type, size, and risk.

Pricing for PaySecure is 1.89% plus $0.29 per transaction.

Regular credit transactions are listed at 2.89% plus $0.29 per transaction.

Debit transactions come in at 2.39% plus $0.29 per transaction.

According to the webpage, there is no setup fee for any of these rates, just a $19.99 monthly charge.

These rates seem on par with most large merchant account processors. As with any price in the credit card industry, there is always room for negotiations.

There are no other listed fees, however, there may likely be some in the contract.
