In 2014, according to CreditCards.com, Americans preferred to use their debit cards over credit cards, 43% to 35%, with only 9% stating they preferred to use cash, when purchasing offline. A small percentage opted to use other payment methods, including store charge cards and PayPal, yet most do turn to their credit or debit card when they need to make a payment. For this reason, all businesses need to ensure they can take these payment forms, both onsite and while on the go.
"When a company provides their customers with multiple payment options, they find sales go up. Numerous studies over the years have shown consumers spend more when they use a credit card. What many retailers don't realize is consumers use debit cards more when making small purchases, and the funds come right out of their checking account. When making large purchases according to the December 2009 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research, thus large purchases are typically made with a credit card, giving the consumer time to pay back the charge over an extended period of time. Factors such as these need to be taken into account when determining which payment options should be offered.”
When shopping online, 48% of consumers pull out their credit card, 30% use a debit card and 12% use PayPal. Department stores tend to see more purchases with credit cards, while grocery and discount stores see more debit card purchases. Dine-in restaurants and gas stations tend to see an equal mix of the two payment options, and fast food restaurants still see more cash purchases than those made with a card.
"Businesses offering a variety of payment methods will find they increase sales, as consumers have their own personal preferences when it comes to paying. There isn't a single payment option that truly stands out as the favored method any longer, and this must be taken into account. Thanks to the numerous services offered through Total Merchant Services, every business finds they can use a free credit card machine either countertop or wireless, mobile credit card processing, or a payment gateway.
