Useful questions.
Clear answers.
What can Forthwise help me with?
Card-terminal options for in-person payments, Virtual Terminal options for eligible telephone payments, and a review of an existing merchant arrangement. We help clarify the fit and the application route.
Can I use both a terminal and a Virtual Terminal?
Potentially. We will discuss the mix of face-to-face and telephone payments, then check which products and operating processes are appropriate for your business.
How much will it cost?
A suitable proposal should set out the applicable transaction charges, equipment costs, monthly fees, term and other charges. We discuss these together before you decide.
Will every business be accepted?
No. Product availability and acceptance depend on the business, payment activity, provider checks and the applicable terms.
Is Forthwise the payment processor?
Forthwise helps you review your requirements, explore suitable merchant services and navigate the application. Payment processing and merchant approval are provided through the underlying provider arrangement.
