I am pleased to recommend California Merchant Systems to businesses that are contemplating accepting credit cards in their business or would like to lower their credit card processing costs.
Ted and his company provided a low credit card processing cost solution for us and have worked hard for our company. We were initially told that we would have to process through our internet gateway, but CMS quickly supplied the necessary information to the gateway company so we could still use the gateway, save processing money, and have a local business work for us.
