Stax Payments

Our Verdict

Overall, Stax by Fattmercant offers some excellent pricing, and it’s quite transparent as well. Its Omni Channel Payments provides some superb functionality, and the Quickbooks integration is helpful as well. The pricing might be prohibitive to smaller and low-volume businesses, but if you’re seeing strong sales growth, consider Stax.

Features and Functionality

Omni Integrated Payments

Any tools that consolidate information in your business are helpful. They streamline things and make it easier to find the information you need.

That was the thought behind Omni Integrated Payments. This aggregates your transaction data into one place. However, it brings about many other features (one of which is covered next) that you can use for business purposes.

Customer Database

Customer data helps you make better decisions when it comes to marketing. Stax by Fattmercant helps you in this area by offering a customer database that tracks information like payment methods, purchase history, and similar things. You can use some of this information to better market your products or services in the future.

eCommerce Shopping Cart

Stax can integrate with your current shopping cart that your customers know or let you create a brand new one that works for your business. They’ve partnered with several gateways to enhance your site’s functionality.

API

Got developer smarts? Or maybe you know a developer? In any case, Stax offers an API for businesses that have unique software needs with their payment processing.

Reporting and Analytics

Stax’s Omni Integrated Payments offer some admittedly basic but still useful reporting features. You can check out data on your transactions, sales, item categories, and more.

Hardware Requirements

Stax is a cloud-based application, making it usable on Mac or PC — as long as you have an Internet connection. Stax also has iOS and Android apps so you can take your payment processing on the go.

Integrations & Add-ons

Stax by Fattmercant doesn’t have a whole lot of integrations listed. The one it seems proud of is its Quickbooks integration. By integrating your Stax payment processing with Quickbooks, your accounting (as it pertains to your sales and revenue) becomes a lot easier. Stax also integrates with various PoS systems, but again, they don’t make it clear which ones. You may have to contact your PoS provider and find out.

Ease of Use

Stax by Fattmercant is quite easy to use as a payment processor, especially its Omni portal. Even so, Stax provides you with a tutorial on using the portal. Not much else to say here. As we’ll discuss again, their customer support is quite helpful as well.

Customer Service

Stax offers strong customer support through a variety of avenues. Customers with the higher-tier plans get priority support through a dedicated account manager and expedited service request resolutions.

Phone Support

Stax by Fattmercant customers can reach the support team by phone
