What are Sage's Echeck fees? Do they do that? Or is it only Credit Cards?

Thanks,
Claudia

Sage does offer e-check, yes, but our software doesn't integrate with it so guests wouldn't be able to pay that way, not until we hooked that up. As far as the fees goes, I'd have to check with our merchant services guy and get back to you. I do know that e-check fees are generally a lot less than credit card fees. I believe they're in the 1% range but that's a total guess.

When you integrate Echeck using Sage, will it be free for us owners, since it would be done via Sage?

If you're referring to software fees, yes. Any bookings that are paid for via a merchant account we set up (whether the payments are credit card or e-check) will be free.

Any idea on when the e-check feature might be up?

Hi J.Villalobos,

I have no ETA yet on that. It hasn't crept further up the priority list yet because it isn't often requested or mentioned.

So much to do!
