When you’re looking for competitive pricing with no cancellation fees, it may be worth your time to check out GDPay through CardFellow. In this GDPay review and profile, we’ll give you the details on GDPay’s rates and fees, services, reviews and reputation, equipment options, and more.


History

GDPay is a family-owned processor serving businesses across the United States since 1996. GDPay is a registered ISO and MSP of Chase Paymentech, LLC.

What services does GDPay offer?

GDPay offers credit and debit card processing, check processing, gift card solutions, and cash advances. You’ll have the option to take cards in-person (using traditional countertop machines or POS systems or using a mobile device) or online.

Credit and Debit Card Processing

With GDPay, you can accept major cards like Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Own a gas station? You may also be able to take fleet cards such as Voyager, Fleet One, FleetCor, Visa Fleet, and more, meaning you won’t lose business from fleet card customers.

Check Processing

Is accepting checks important to your business? GDPay has three check processing options: ACH & recurring payments, electronic check conversion, and Check 21.

With ACH/recurring, you can use GDPay’s ACH processing tool (designed for small and medium-sized businesses) to initiate an electronic transfer from your customer’s checking account using the "electronic credit" feature.

With electronic check conversion, accepting checks is as secure and convenient as accepting credit card payments. You’ll scan the customer’s paper check and an electronic image of the check will be securely stored. Your customer signs the receipt and receives the paper check back, and funds are credited to your business bank account automatically. With electronic check conversion, there is no need for a trip to the bank.

GDPay also offers the internet-based Check 21 solution to accept paper checks in-store or by mail and turn them into electronic payments. Scan checks to turn them into electronic documents using a check scanner and funds are automatically deposited in your business bank account.

Gift Cards

If you’re looking to get into the gift card game and take advantage of the funds generated from gift card sales, GDPay can provide a scalable solution designed for your needs. GDPay offers three gift card programs: Gift Card Now, Gift Card Advantage, and Gift Card Custom. For customers who already have a gift card program in place, GDPay can help transition your program to GDPay.

GDPay’s Gift Card Now program might be right for you if you want a simple, turnkey gift card program. The Gift Card Now solution comes with 50 or 100 gift cards personalized with your business information. Sample templates are available on GDPay’s website.

If your business is growing and you want enhanced branding, GDPay’s Gift Card Advantage program is a turnkey program that includes your business logo on the gift card. The Gift Card Advantage solution comes with 250 or 500 gift cards. Sample templates are available on GDPay’s website.

Or maybe you already have experience with gift cards or prefer a fully customized solution. If so, GDPay’s Gift Card Custom option provides fully customized gift cards. This option is designed for established businesses with multiple branches who will offer cards at all locations.

Online Payments

If you take payments (or want to take payments) online, GDPay offers multiple options. GDPay can support 4 different popular gateways, including the eProcessing Network (ePN), Authorize.Net, PayTrace, and Orbital.

Specific features may vary by gateway, but will allow you to process transactions securely through the web. Most gateways allow you to set up recurring billing, ideal if you sell goods or services on a subscription-model pricing plan. Additionally, gateways are compatible with many popular shopping carts for easy e-commerce customer checkout. Need to get your online sales data into an accounting program? No problem. Many gateways offer exporting data to QuickBooks or in other file formats for easy accounting.

Cash Advances

While CardFellow urges you to carefully weigh the pros and cons of merchant cash advances, if you decide you need one, GDPay can help with that. You don’t need good personal credit to apply or be approved, and GDPay states that funding is provided in as little as 72 hours. Funds can be used for almost any business expense, including marketing and advertising, purchasing inventory, expanding, buying equipment, and more.

Does GDPay offer equipment?

Yup. Specific terminal models vary, but GDPay offers equipment with all the current technology, like EMV chip card-capable terminals. They’ve also got you covered with the basics like printers PIN pads. GDPay offers equipment from Dejavoo, Verifone, and First Data.

Okay, but what’s it going to cost?

GDPay places certified quotes through CardFellow, meaning that they’ve agreed to CardFellow’s terms and conditions. When quoting through CardFellow, GDPay will use interchange plus pricing, commit to a lifetime rate lock, and more. You can get a quote from GDPay specific to your business by signing up for a free CardFellow account in just a few minutes. Sign up today!

What about contracts and cancellation fees?

Within CardFellow, GDPay does not charge a cancellation fee, as it’s prohibited. Contrast that with quotes you get outside of CardFellow. If you don’t go through our marketplace, GDPay’s standard contract is for 3 years and renews automatically. An early termination fee up to $350 may apply. Remember, if you choose GDPay through CardFellow, there is NO early termination fee.

I really hate switching but will say, compared to my previous merchant processor, our company has most definitely saved quite a lot on fees since signing on with GDPay. Been with them for many years now and have experienced no frustrating issues.

GDPAY is the best. Kevin explained things so I could understand them. Their rates exactly as quoted, no surprises. The Dejavoo Z9 machines are just what I needed. Thanks so much!

Everything about this company just works. When I was confused about any change in requirements I called and someone answered and helped. They simply couldn't be any better or easier.

It's been smooth sailing since we signed up. Only wish we'd done it sooner. Our previous vendor gouged us for years and the service was no better. Instead we're seeing tremendous savings as we head into the 1 year mark.

I dislike paying too much for merchant processing. The market conditions have changed and it's become more competitive. I needed the most competitive rate available and I have that. I needed a terminal. The terminal I bought from GD Pay is not user friendly. It takes much longer to edit or void a transaction. The money I'm saving will very quickly pay for a better terminal.

Keep in mind that I do not have extensive experience with GDpay and that this review is only a reflection of my 35min phone interaction with Kevin today to inquire about getting on board with them. I asked about Global Payments Inc. (which they DBA as GDpay)'s security breach several years back and see how my client's information will be protected. I asked about the contracts that GDpay has with other companies and its hard inquiry on credit report during application process. Kevin's answer did not fully address my questions and often sounded rude. He pointed out that all the pricing here on CardFellow does not include virtual terminal fee. He then adjusted the quote leading to the higher rate. Their base % rate might be attractive but I am not sure if I am convinced they are of good customer service. Maybe there's other hidden things they did not let us know. For starters, I was informed by adding a virtual terminal, there's more monthly fee, batch fee, and per transaction fee. Who knows if their rate will be the same years down the road. Kevin ended the phone call passive aggressively by implying to me not to waste his time.


Hi Rick,
I’m sorry you did not find the rep’s answers adequate. Adding equipment may sometimes increase costs, as the processor’s pricing within CardFellow is too low to support “free” machines or virtual terminals. However, once the costs are disclosed and locked, they will not go up. I apologize that it was not clear. If you’d like to consider other options or have additional questions, please feel free to give us a call here at CardFellow. We’re happy to assist however we can.
You mentioned uncertainty if the rate will be the same years down the road. I can assure you that the certified quotes you receive through CardFellow are backed by our legal agreement with the processors. That agreement includes a lifetime rate lock, so your rates would not go up over time. CardFellow even audits your processing statements for you to ensure that you’re not overcharged. In the extremely unlikely event of a discrepancy, we work with the processor on your behalf to have any overage refunded.
We’d love the opportunity to help you secure the most competitive processing. Please feel free to call us at (800) 509-4220 so that we can address any questions or concerns you have. - CardFellow

Just reviewed my first month's processing statement and my overall fees were a full percent less than my prior ”discount” processor. All is good, and deposits are prompt. I am happy with our decision to switch
