Let's talk about self storage.

My processing fees with Easy Storage Solutions are currently running at 2.77% and that rate has been going up roughly a quarter point per year.  

Does your software integrate with your cc processing.  That is, can the payment be initiated directly through the payment process in the software.  If so, does the software provider allow other companies to integrate with an API?  If you record the payment in the software, then record the payment separately find another cc provided that is cheaper.  I have heard several software companies in the storage industry have gone to captive cc processing so you can only use they provider.  In that case owner is stuck with whatever increases they want.  I you are in an open format call Trinity Merchant Services.  888-315-9714.  I think you will get a better rate.

Hi there, I know this is an old post, but we have been battling Global Payments as well, and are finally doing what we can to change merchants. It's almost refreshing to see we're not the only ones dealing with this mess :/

Our biggest issue is we use Winsen as our management system for our facilities, and really don't want to switch over to another program like Blue Moon, etc. But 7.8% for credit cards bc of our "third party" software is insane. I don't mind having to use one system to run the payment, and then go back and enter it into Winsen, which seems like what we'll have to do. I just really don't know where to begin to look outside of Global Payments. 

My FIL/boss is talking to one of the local banks to see if we can use their card clearing services, but it doesn't sound like it is going to work out. 

Anyway, I guess my question is, did y'all ever get anywhere with this? Really any info or advice will be greatly appreciated! These credit card companies are eating our lunch!
