Explain it like I’m five: What is Sonder Payments?
At Sonder Payments, we try to make everything as simple as possible for our customers. We want you to know exactly what we offer, how much it costs, and how we can help your business.
But we understand that payments is a confusing industry. There are a lot of shady practices going around, from gateways and processors alike. We don’t want you to deal with that, so we make it easy. In this article, we want to address a few questions you might have. Maybe you’ve already spoken with a Sonder Payments representative, or maybe you just found this post and know nothing about us or what we do. The purpose of this post is to ensure that you come out the other side with just a little more knowledge about what makes us tick.
1. What does Sonder Payments do?
Sonder Payments is a payment processor, meaning we facilitate transactions between merchants and their customers. We are built on infrastructure developed by one of the giants in the payments industry, Vantiv-WorldPay. So, though we are relatively small, our processing services can integrate into almost any point-of-sale system or online platform. Some integrations may require the use of a third-party gateway, but if that is required, your Sonder Payments representative can help you set that up.
2. What sets Sonder Payments apart?
So, we’re built on one of the largest processors in the world and we integrate almost anywhere. Why choose Sonder? Well, it’s quite simple really: transparency. There’s only so much that processors can do to differentiate themselves, and in the end, it’s a pricing game. Sonder Payments is dedicated to being 100 percent transparent in all aspects of our business, starting with pricing. In an industry that is characterized by hidden fees and shady practices, Sonder Payments promises a simple and straightforward pricing solution: “Members pay just true cost plus 8 cents per transaction.” If you want to learn more about what that means, read about out pricing here. Bottom line, we want you to know what you’re going to pay and when you’re going to pay it. Period.
3. Who benefits most from Sonder Payments’ transparent pricing?
Obviously, we believe that our payment processing is a great solution for every company, but our pricing structure may not be the most beneficial for every company out there. If you have smaller ticket sizes, it might be advantageous to seek out a processor that charges a percentage of revenue (so long as that percentage is less, on average, than our 8 cents per transaction). Where Sonder Payments really shines is with large-ticket businesses. Because we do not charge a percentage of your revenue, you save money with every single swipe. If you’re not sure if Sonder Payments would save you money, go ahead and fill out our online consultation. We’ll do a cost savings analysis for you and show you how much money you can save. And if you won’t save money with us, we’ll tell you.
4. How can I learn more?
I like your enthusiasm. If you’re itching to learn more about Sonder Payments, reach out to us! You can call (314) 722–6424 to speak to a representative, or if you’re a little on the shy side, you can email us at info@sonderpayments.com. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have about integrations, the logistics of making a switch, contracts, etc. Again, we want to be totally transparent and give you all the information you need to know, so please, don’t hesitate to ask!
