Operators running Preschools juggle counter, remote, and recurring revenue in the same week. In practice: auto-billed tuition and secure saved cards, so parents are never late. Cost and risk spike when sensitive customer data widening your PCI and compliance scope, or when recurring billing that is clumsy or quietly drops saved cards. Gateway focuses on pCI scope reduction: point-to-point encryption and tokenization keep raw card data out of your systems. Transparent interchange-plus and a specialist who answers.
