Frequently Asked Questions
Payment questions? Let’s make them less weird.
Payment processing, invoicing, software integrations, financing, and fee structures can get confusing fast. Here are straightforward answers to the questions business owners and referral partners usually ask first.
Getting started
General questions

Fees and payment strategy
Processing cost questions
Can you tell me if my current fees are too high?
A statement review can help identify your current pricing structure, monthly fees, transaction costs, and areas where a different setup may be worth exploring. Sometimes the issue is the rate, sometimes it is the fee structure, and sometimes it is the wrong tool for the job.
Do you only focus on the lowest rate?
No. Cost matters, but the cheapest option is not always the best option. The right solution should also consider reliability, support, funding needs, software compatibility, customer experience, and how the business accepts payments.
Can you help with dual pricing, cash discount, or surcharge options?
Yes, where appropriate. These programs require careful setup, clear customer communication, and compliance awareness. The right approach depends on your business type, state rules, card network rules, and customer experience.
Getting paid easier
Invoicing, payment links, and collections
Can you help me make it easier for customers to pay?
Yes. Depending on your business, options may include payment links, online invoices, card payments, ACH, recurring billing, web-based checkout, virtual terminal options, or POS tools.
Can clearer invoices really help collections?
Often, yes. Clear invoices reduce confusion, make the payment action obvious, and help customers understand what they owe and how to pay. That can reduce follow-up and make your payment process feel more professional.
Can payments connect to my CRM or accounting system?
In many cases, yes. PhoenixPay can help review options for connecting payment workflows to web-based CRMs, accounting systems, invoicing platforms, POS systems, calendars, and other business tools.
Growth and financing
Business funding and customer financing
Do you offer financing options?
PhoenixPay can help connect qualified businesses with business funding options and can also review customer financing options that may help support larger-ticket sales.
How can customer financing help my business?
Customer financing may help customers move forward with larger purchases, projects, or services by giving them payment flexibility. This can be especially useful for contractors, service providers, professional services, and higher-ticket sales.
Is financing available for every business?
No. Approval depends on the financing provider, business type, credit and underwriting factors, transaction type, and other requirements. The first step is reviewing whether it may be a fit.
