Heartland Payments Set Up Details

Heartland Payments Set Up Details


Heartland Payments is eager to assist in establishing a merchant processing account (MID) for credit/debit and echeck (ACH).  The purpose of this document is to furnish details specific to each option as well as the boarding portals (labeled accordingly).  Additionally you’ll find contact info to help answer questions and expedite the set up.

**Pricing- 3 options**
  1. Month to Month agreement
    1. Credit Card Processing- IC + .95% (95bps) + $.10 per txn + $10 per month
      1. Interchange is defined as the pass through cost from the card brands
      2. .95% (95bps) is the equivalent of $9.50 per $1,000 processed
    2. ACH Processing- $1.50 per txn + $5 per month
      1. ACH attempts are validated to avoid key errors
  2. 1 Year agreement -  (school absorbs all costs of payments)
    1.  Credit Card Processing- IC + .70% (70bps) + $.10 per txn + $10 per month
      1. Interchange is defined as the pass through cost from the card brands
      2. .70% (70bps) is the equivalent of $7.00 per $1,000 processed
    2. ACH Processing- $1.50 per txn + $5 per month
  3.  Service fee model*
    1. Credit Card Processing- 3.00% + $10 per month (cost paid by school to maintain merchant ID)
    2. ACH- $1.50 + $5 per month (nominal monthly cost paid by school to maintain the eCheck solution)
    3. Must be 1 year term
* Service Fee model by definition is a set up where the cost is passed onto the customer/payer.
  The monthly support fee paid by the school is therefore, $15 ($10 + $5)

An online boarding portal tool has been selected to help complete the project and secure the necessary signatures and uploading of info.
