As an agency, you need to be able to accept payments from customers online smoothly and easily, and if you have monthly recurring retainers, rebill those clients on a regular basis. Having an issue with your agency payment provider can cause mayhem in any business, and can actually cause you to lose clients and upfront sales.

Most payment providers offer a wide range of options for accepting payments, including credit cards and other forms of payment. Some accept digital wallet payments now as well, like Apple Pay or Google Pay. PCI compliance and data safety are a top concern for your payment provider as well. Some specialize in high risk clients with high sales volumes, and still others focus on recurring revenue.

Here are five agency payment providers that we recommend here at SegMetrics that provide different types of services:

1. Easy Pay Direct

Easy Pay Direct is an agency payment provider that is simple to work with and offers a wide range of options for your customers to pay. They offer numerous integrations, such as Stripe and Paypal, and they’re able to connect with many other platforms as well. Businesses that run a high volume of sales through on a monthly basis ($30,000 or more) also choose Easy Pay Direct because of their policies on withholding funds.
