Excellent Reasons

Some excellent reasons why a merchant should accept E-C-Q payments

E-C-Q payments are guaranteed.
When E-C-Q authorizes a payment, funds are already secured and taken from the customers account. Placed into funds transferred and then paid to the merchant.

Most E-C-Q customers are new to E-Commerce.
Because of the way E-C-Q services are organized, new customers who need help  making and trusting E-commerce transactions can now feel confident when dealing with merchants. They can take advantage of the Partial Payment option which helps the customer trust the merchant and the process of On-line shopping.

The merchant defines how they want to be paid by E-C-Q.
E-C-Q has several settlement options available to the merchant.
If the merchant would prefer to have payments;

1) put directly into a bank account
2) mailed as a certified cheque
3) paid by credit card

E-C-Q can accommodate the settlement method.

Merchants all over the world can now receive payment for the goods and services they sell.

Merchants who don’t have access to sophisticated financial services can be paid quickly and economically by E-C-Q anywhere in the world.
Building on “reason 3” above, merchants do not have to be dependent on Credit Card and financial institution services to receive payment for their goods. E-C-Q will ensure they receive payment for the goods before they ship. When offering the partial payment option to their customers the merchant is guaranteed full payment for the goods once they arrive at the customers address.With E-C-Q's Partial Payment Plan the merchant can receive a portion of the payment to cover costs such as;

  • materials
  • labour
  • shipping and handling

Prior to shipping the goods all that remains to be paid after the customer is satisfied is the profit which will be settled at a predefined time unless the customer is less than satisfied with the merchants product. (see Partial Payment option for how E-C-Q handles these situations.)

Increased access to a larger consumer base.
Customers who previously did not have access to E-commerce privileges can now shop on-line. Because E-C-Q pays the merchant on their behalf.

Reduces or eliminates merchants need for consumer credit checks.
Because E-C-Q verifies available funds before authorizing payment the merchant does not have to worry about consumer credit checks. Merchants who are registered with
E-C-Q receive payment right away according to the settlement instructions they provided. Non registered merchants cash the cheque and tell E-C-Q how they want to be paid.

Merchants will share the benefits of E-C-Q’s Mediation Insurance service.
By invoking the partial payment option a merchant and a consumer establish a working relationship which is based on trust. If there is a concern with the product when received by the customer both have agreed at the beginning of the transaction to attempt to resolve any problems amicably. If a mutually satisfactory arrangement cannot be reached both the merchant and the consumer have the option of requesting assistance from trained professionals who will help mediate a solution.

This feature reduces, when used, the number of unexpected charge backs to merchants.
