Hear from Tony Harcourt,
Co-Founder of WorkGuru

"Embedding payment capabilities in our platform means that our small business clients can get paid faster, more easily and with fewer hassles. This is an enormous value-add for our clients, who don't want to have to add on an extra piece of software just to take payments, so it made complete sense for us to bring Pinch's payment solutions into WorkGuru.

The Pinch API is truly world-class, and the team was an absolute breeze to work with to get this monumental undertaking off the ground. I would highly recommend working with Pinch to integrate embedded payments into your business."

Frequently Asked Questions

How are online credit card transactions processed?

Once the payment processor sends the authorisations to the card association, they are swiftly forwarded to the issuing bank. The issuing bank then transfers the funds to the merchant bank and applies an 'interchange fee'. This entire process usually unfolds within 24 to 48 hours of the transaction taking place.

How long does it take for a credit card transaction to process and then settle?

A credit card payment will process instantly and then settle into your merchant bank account the next business day in almost all cases.

Are credit card payments processed immediately?

Online credit card payments are processed immediately, it is the settlement to you that can take a little while and varies on the payment processor you use. With Pinch it's usually next business day.

Do credit card payments process on weekends?

Credit card payments can be processed any time including weekends, but the settlement processing, that is the part where we process the distribution of funds to you is only done on Australian business days.

How can a small business accept credit cards over the phone?

In Pinch you can open your invoices and payments from the merchant portal and take the details of your customer over the phone, essentially paying it on their behalf using the same interface they would if they clicked on the payment link you send them. This is a relatively safe option as you will put the details straight into the system and it will immediately encrypt, ensuring it's not stored anywhere.
