Your high ticket is the highest transaction amount you can process without gaining prior approval from Eliot. This limit is established through a review of your processing history. The high ticket is established to protect your business from unauthorized, fraudulent charges.

If you do process a transaction that exceeds your high ticket limit, those funds may be held pending verification of the transaction. If you know you are going to have a transaction that will exceed your high ticket, or if you wish to have your high ticket amount adjusted, simply call customer service at 1-844-898-0337, and they will assist you.

The rate each transaction is processed at depends on a number of things including the business type, method of entering a sale, processing procedures and type of card presented for payment.

Qualified transactions are those in which an authorization was obtained electronically (swiped with the card present) and the transaction was settled within the allowed time (usually within 24 hours). The transaction meets all the requirements imposed by the bank card associations and is processed using a general consumer (not reward or business) card.

Any variation from the qualified transaction degrades the transaction to mid-qualified or non-qualified. The type of card and the way it is accepted affects the rate. Rewards cards generally fall into the mid-qualified range and business cards generally incur non-qualified rates.

Interchange is a set of two costs that your processor’s acquiring bank must pay the bank that issued your customer’s credit or debit card. Interchange fees are usually made up of a flat per transaction fee and a percentage of the transaction. Generally, the interchange accounts for about 70-80% of the processing costs. Although this is the biggest piece of your processing fees, shopping processors will not lower these costs as they are set by the member banks of Visa and Mastercard and are fixed for all processors.

The monthly minimum refers to the minimum amount of processing fees Eliot needs to collect from your business each month to maintain your account. It was established when you signed your contract with Eliot. If you don’t reach that minimum in processing costs, Eliot assesses your account the difference to reach the monthly minimum.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (or PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to help facilitate data security. PCI DSS, developed by the major card brands including MasterCard and Visa, includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures and other critical protective measures that help protect customer account data. Business owners must demonstrate compliance to these standards. To ensure you maintain compliance, visit PCI Smart.
