As an independent grocer, you juggle a lot—managing inventory, meeting your customer’s expectations, and ensuring your operations run smoothly. You want to be able to offer even more, but can’t afford to add to your workload. We totally get that. That’s why at UNFI Professional Services, we offer dozens of retail payment services designed to simplify your business and create a better experience for your customers.
Here’s how we can help your customers without creating more work for you in the process:
Make Your Store a Hub with Customer Bill-Pay Services
Imagine your customers stopping by not just to shop but to pay their bills, too. By offering a bill-pay service, your store becomes a go-to destination for convenience. This boosts foot traffic, adds value to your business, and helps foster loyalty among your customers.
Streamline Alcohol Vendor Payments
Selling alcohol comes with its own set of rules. Alcohol-Based Payment Processing (ABP) is a highly regulated area that requires compliance with rules that can differ from state to state and shift frequently depending on changing laws. By outsourcing your alcohol payment process to us (using Fintech) you will meet all of your state’s legal requirements without giving yourself a headache in the process.
Pin Pads Maintenance and Replacement
A broken pin pad can bring your checkout line to a halt, frustrating both you and your customers. That’s why we offer dependable hardware and maintenance services. With our support, your pin pads will stay in great shape so your customers won’t experience any interruption in service. If a pin pad does need to be swapped out, our next-day pin pad replacement service greatly minimizes downtime.
Boost Sales with Gift Cards and E-Gifting
Gift cards and e-gifting aren’t just convenient options for your customers—they’re a powerful way to drive sales and bring in new shoppers. We’ll make it easy to set up and manage your new gift card program so you can tap into this profitable revenue stream. Plus, when you start offering branded gift cards provides a flexible option for gift-givers and opens up your products to a wider audience!
Accept FSA Cards and Checks with Ease
Accepting Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards can feel like a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be. With our expertise, you can process FSA payments just like any other type of card, which provides a valuable service to customers who rely on these funds for health-related purchases. If customers still prefer to pay via check, our check acceptance program will make handling them easy, with tools to verify checks and reduce the risk of bad payments.
PCI Compliance and Online Payment Safety
Data security is critical in today’s world. We’ll help you navigate the complexities of PCI compliance, so your customers’ payment data stays safe and your business earns their trust. Additionally, if your store offers online shopping with a payment option, providing that online payment security is a must. Our advanced fraud protection keeps transactions secure so customers feel confident shopping with you.
Running a business is hard work, but your payment systems shouldn’t make it harder. With UNFI Professional Services, you’ll get payment solutions that simplify your life, improve the customer experience, and help your business thrive.
Focus on what you do best—serving your customers and growing your store—and leave the payment hassles to us!
