They’re a great option for RV camping with friends and family because they have a ton of storage room, all the conveniences you could desire in an RV, and more. ",[407,67419,67311],{"id":67420},"pop-up-camping-trailers",[188,67422,67423],{},"This attractive, lightweight trailer can expand to a length of up to 23 feet to meet all of your camping needs.

But, assume that everything with the rental goes right:  The product comes back in pristine condition, and maybe even a day early.  Do you refund the security deposit in its entirety? Do you credit back a portion of the rental fee because the item was returned early?  If the answer to either of the questions is yes, you are not only paying processing fees on a higher total order value that never materializes, but you will pay your processor not only to capture the payment but also to refund the charge(s).   The net is that processing fees take a much more significant chunk of your profits.

RentMy offers the ability for you to “authorize” charges on a customer’s credit card without actually “capturing” those funds and paying the full merchant processing costs.  This method not only reduces upfront expense to accept and order but also leaves some additional flexibility at the end of the rental.  In the above example, we assumed that everything went “right” with the order: the product was returned in good condition and even a little earlier than expected.  However, some businesses can’t always count on the perfect customer.  If your company plans to collect fees after the order, you can avoid some upfront costs and add any extra fees (late fees, cleaning fees, etc.) and capture funds all at once (thus paying a fractional “authorization” fee and then a full “capture” fee once funds are collected.  Keep in mind, however, that customers may not manage their credit as well as they should, and there is a risk that funds that were previously authorized may not be available when the rental is closed.",[11,74749,74715],{"id":74750},"integrate-multiple-payment-methods-to-ensure-a-flawless-secure-transaction-in-a-smart-way",[188,74752,74753,74754,74757],{},"It is a fundamental thing to integrate a safe and secure payment gateway with your rental business.
