Sam’s Club Merchant Services Review (Now Sam’s Club Point Of Sale By Clover)

Sam’s Club Merchant Services uses the appeal of the bulk-discount warehouse business to bring in merchants, but processing payments through Sam’s Club is costly for most small businesses.

Credit Card Processor Review Methodology

For payment processing reviews, we use a 24-point rubric to evaluate the provider. First, we look at pricing structure – interchange plus, subscription-based, tiered, or hybrid – giving the most points to providers that provide fair, transparent pricing and docking those that rely on tiered models. Then we examine rates, the presence and transparency of early termination fees, and any additional fees.

We also look at contract length and fairness and test out sales staff and customer service channels ourselves to ensure that the company uses reputable, above-the-board sales techniques. Finally, we take the company’s online reputation into account, reading customer reviews and comments.
