Economics

Electronic check is the least expensive method to accept electronic payments via Farmigo. There is no setup or monthly fee required for creating and maintaining a CheckGateway account. Then, the transaction fee is only $0.30 plus 1% of the value of the transaction - PayPal charges $0.30 plus 2.99% on average.
Even if you are only accepting paper checks right now this is an economical choice. Accepting electronic payments saves you time and energy. Instead of recording the receipt of each check, the Farmigo system will update the status each electronic check payment automatically. Since customers enter their payment information at the same time that they set up their order, you don’t have to worry about chasing them down and constantly reminding them to send payment.
Customer-Friendly

The interface for accepting bank-to-bank transfers is fully integrated into your Farmigo interface and is easy for your customers to use. They only need to enter 3 things - their bank account number, routing number, and the last four digits of their social security number.
