PaySimple 2.0 helps small businesses bridge the technology gap, and to grow with the efficiency and cost-savings that large companies have, but with the customization and personal touch that small companies need.
The centerpiece of the PaySimple Solution 2.0 is the Payment Processing Center. Users have the ability to electronically collect payments via eCheck/ACH or credit card as well as pay their vendors via those channels in one user-friendly, convenient system. Payments can be made as one-time or scheduled recurring transactions, all at the merchant’s discretion and convenience. Schedules can be easily updated, multiple payment types can be used, and all communications with customers and vendors can be automated and customized. No other payment solution offers this level of simplicity, flexibility, and functionality to the small business market.
“The PaySimple Solution 2.0 is the first of its kind to be built around the core needs of the small business owner,” said Eric Remer, PaySimple CEO. “We are proud to deliver a technology solution that is so simple our customers do not need any technology experience to use or customize it. Yet, it is robust enough to compare with any enterprise-designed solution. We’ve built a solution with the small business needs and budget in mind.”
Small business owners can use and benefit from the PaySimple Solution 2.0 even if they don’t have a website! With the enhanced PaySimple WebForms Module, even novice users can create securely hosted Web pages that their customers or donors can use to make payments for online purchases, pay their bills online, or even set themselves up on recurring billing.
PaySimple 2.0 customers can insert customizable Payment Buttons into their websites that link to those customizable payment forms.

Unique features of the Recurring Module include the ability to use a secondary payment method should the primary method fail. It can also send customizable emails in advance of scheduled payments, at the moment the payment is processed, and after the payment has processed as notification it has failed for any reason. PaySimple 2.0 customers can offer their end customers the same kind of electronic bill paying convenience as any large company.
