Payment Processes

1. What payment types are available?

Kimoby Pay allows your clients to pay by credit card and in some instances, Apple Pay and Google Pay. We support Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay, Discover, JCB and Diners Club credit cards as well as Visa and Mastercard debit cards.

2. Does Kimoby Pay affect the rest of my business' payment processing?

No, Kimoby Pay is independent of your physical Point of Sales (POS) services and connects directly to your bank account. It won't change your payment routine, but it will allow you to receive payments through a new channel, by text message, so that your clients can pay online whenever and wherever they like. They won't have to come into your business once they've paid online.

3. When does Kimoby Pay transfer money into my account?

When a payment is processed, you will receive the full amount of the transaction the next business day in the United States and in Canada on a rolling basis. You will be automatically charged the transaction fees on a daily basis.

4. How do I handle disputes?

You'll work directly with Kimoby to handle any disputes and refund requests. Click here to learn how to cancel a payment request or refund a customer. However, Kimoby is by no means liable for conflicts between you and your clients concerning an amount, non-payment, or any other billing-related issue (See sections 3-4 of Kimoby Pay's Account Agreement)

5. How do I keep track of all these transactions?

The Kimoby Pay "Payment requests" page acts as a dashboard and lets you view payments and customers, manage refunds, transfers to your account, and more. Log in here.

6. Can I access my past transactions when I make the switch from merchant connect to Kimoby Pay with Stripe?

Yes, you will see all the transactions your business has done in the past. However, you won't be able to process refunds on those transactions, as Merchant Connect won't be available anymore.


7. Why does my customer have a charge on their card but the Kimoby Pay invoice still says "Unpaid"?
This is simply a pre-authorized transaction that is pending. Remember to always rely on the Kimoby Pay dashboard status of the transaction as it is the most reliable source of transaction statuses. If the invoice is still marked "Unpaid", it is important that the customer retry and successfully complete payment through Kimoby Pay or provide an alternate form of payment.

You will not receive a payment that has been pre-authorized but not completed.

If for some reason your customer does not complete payment, the pre-authorized payment on their bank statement will be reversed within a few business days. 

Security

1. Is Kimoby Pay secure and PCI compliant?

Kimoby Pay's infrastructure is provided by Stripe and Spreedly. They are audited by a PCI-certified auditor and certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1 (the highest level of certification available). You can learn more about the technical details of this infrastructure here.

2. Will fraudulent payments or cards be rejected?

Kimoby provides several tools to minimize fraud losses and help businesses determine if a transaction is fraudulent. They allow Kimoby to auto-reject suspicious transactions and send notifications when questionable charges are raised. Additionally, Stripe, our service provider, works with its financial partners and credit card networks to monitor fraud globally. Here is more information on Stripe.
