Click & Pledge Advertising & Sales

 
Click & Pledge primarily markets itself through traditional advertising, which includes the SalesForce Appexchange Store. Based on a review of its website, it does not appear to employ independent sales agents. Merchant customers can also inquire about services on their website. Even though not all fees and rates are listed on its website for the general public, it appears that it is not deceptive in its sales tactics.

The pricing page for Click and Pledge lists a few rates and fees, including the per-transaction rate of 3.75%+$0.35 for all card transactions. It appears that Click & Pledge charges a flat rate for all transactions. The mobile card reader can also be purchased on Amazon for $35, not a steep cost.
