WesTech MSP

Payment Processing & PCI Compliance

Every Card Swipe Builds Trust. Make Sure It's Not Also Building Risk.

WesTech MSP reviews what you're actually paying to process payments, uncovers the compliance gaps and hidden fees most businesses never see, and works with your WesTech MSP payment processing vendor to assist with your PCI compliance needs going forward — often while lowering your cost per transaction at the same time.

Every Swipe Carries Risk You May Not See

Most businesses assume their processor or point-of-sale system handles PCI compliance for them. That assumption gets expensive.

is the high end of the monthly fines card brands and acquiring banks can levy for PCI non-compliance until it's resolved
$0K
is roughly the average cost of a data breach for a small business, once fines, notification, and recovery are added up
$0K+
is what we've helped individual clients save per year in processing fees and out-of-compliance charges they didn't know they were paying

What We Actually Do About It

Not a sales pitch — a review of what you're paying, what you're exposed to, and what it would take to fix both.

We Review What You're Paying

We go through your current statements line by line — interchange rates, add-on fees, and any non-compliance charges buried in there that most business owners never notice.

PCI Compliance Assistance

Ongoing compliance assistance with your WesTech MSP payment processing vendor so you're not chasing or guessing whether you're actually covered by yourself.

Ongoing, not one-time

We Tie It Into Your Network

For clients also on managed network services, we go a step further — using VLAN segmentation and traffic shaping to reduce how much of your network falls under PCI scope in the first place.

What Happens After You Reach Out

This is the actual process we run for a fee review, a switch, or ongoing PCI compliance management.

1

We assess your current setup

Statements, gateway, terminals or software, and your current PCI compliance status — we start with a clear picture of where you actually stand.

2

We show you the numbers

A breakdown of your processing fees alongside any compliance gaps or hidden charges you didn't know were there.

3

We present your options

Whether that's switching processors, staying put with compliance handled, or adding Square — every option comes with the savings spelled out.

4

Changing your payment processor

PCI Compliance assistance moving forward, and if you're also a managed network client, we layer in VLAN and traffic-shaping support to reduce your ongoing exposure.

One of Several Processing Options

Considering Square?

For businesses looking at Square payment processing, we're a Square partner and can get your account setup directly through our partner portal, easily. It's one option among the processors and gateways we work with — alongside traditional merchant accounts and terminal-based setups — matched to how your business actually takes payments.

Are you a service business? Easily have your field technicians take payments, use their smartphones, and see real processing fee savings.

Why WesTech

A Review First. A Pitch Second.

We start every engagement the same way — by finding out what your business is actually paying and where it's actually exposed. Clients who've gone through that process with us have found upwards of $100,000 a year in combined processing savings and avoidable compliance fees they didn't know were on the table.

We're not tied to a single processor, so our job is matching you to what fits — and managing your compliance for as long as you're a client, not just at the point of sale.

?Do you sell payment processing directly?
We work with a range of processors, gateways, and platforms — including Square — and match you to whichever fits your business, then manage the PCI compliance on top of it.
?Will switching processors disrupt my business?
We coordinate the transition and equipment setup so there's minimal downtime, and we walk you through it before anything changes.
?What if I think I'm already PCI compliant?
Most business owners assume their processor or POS system covers this for them. It's usually a shared responsibility, so we still review your setup to confirm — and to check for fees you may be overpaying.
?Do I need to already be a managed IT client?
No. Our processing review and PCI compliance management stand on their own. If you're also on our managed network services, we can go further with VLAN segmentation and traffic shaping to reduce your compliance scope.
?Does this work with the software I already use?
In most cases, yes. We work with a wide range of software vendors, credit card gateways, and integrations, and we'll confirm compatibility as part of the initial review.

Ready to Stop Guessing What You're Paying?

No pressure, no obligation — just a clear picture of your processing costs and compliance status, and what it would take to fix either.
