When it comes to accepting payments for your business, you have a variety of options to choose from. However, when presented with two payment processors, businesses often wonder which is the best for them, especially as service fees are involved. We’ve been asked — “why use the Buzz Cloud when I have Linx?” To answer, let’s first discuss what each payment platform offers.
Linx — A Popular Payment Tool
Linx is a common electronic funds transfer (EFT) system in Trinidad and Tobago. It’s a convenient way for individuals and businesses to make payments and transfer funds electronically. Linx is frequently used for in-person payments, with customers using credit or debit cards to pay at a handheld terminal.
Buzz Cloud and Linx: A Complementary Pair
While Buzz Cloud and Linx seem like competitors, they complement each other as they serve different purposes. The Buzz Cloud is primarily focused on providing an online platform for businesses to sell their products and services. Linx, on the other hand, is a payment gateway that facilitates face-to-face electronic transactions.
Imagine this scenario: A customer wants to purchase a product from your online store (powered by Buzz Cloud). They may prefer to pay immediately using a credit card, which can be easily processed through Buzz Cloud. However, another customer might prefer to pay after seeing the product in person. In this case, you can offer them the option to pay via Linx at your physical location.
By accepting both Buzz Cloud payments and Linx payments, you’re giving your customers more choices and increasing your chances of making a sale. It’s no different from a business accepting cash vs. Linx. Some people hate to walk around with banknotes, while others use cash exclusively. If paying is an issue for an interested buyer, you can miss out on closing those important sales.
Why You Need Both
By incorporating both payment methods into your business operations, you’re providing your customers with more payment options, leading to more conversions, increased sales, and greater customer satisfaction.
