Anyone who has ever started up a small business knows that timing is everything. Getting information quickly can mean the difference between building a nimble, resilient business that stands the test of time and one that is unable to ride out setbacks. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), approximately 20% of new small businesses fail within the first year. Over time, that failure rate increases, with about 50% failing within the first five years and as many as 65% to 70% failing within 10 years. This means only about 30% of small businesses survive past the 10-year mark. As a small business owner, then, it is imperative that you take every opportunity to give your business the insights it needs to survive.
TapDash Payments’ Advanced Dashboard is a powerful tool that equips your small business with real-time payment insights, fraud and chargeback protection, and even analysis of the overall marketplace and the performance of competitors to help your small business achieve every available competitive advantage. By integrating robust reporting, fraud prevention tools, and key market analytics, this proprietary platform empowers you to make informed decisions that maximize efficiency and drive growth for your small business.
One of the most remarkable features of the TapDash Advanced Dashboard is its unique and proprietary end-to-end analytics and reporting capabilities. This feature empowers your small business to fully and easily reconcile every transaction from authorization through settlement, fees, refunds, and chargebacks. This level of visibility and insight eliminates the guesswork that can sometimes plague small businesses performing financial analysis, giving you a clear picture of where your money is coming from at all times. This tool includes real-time display of ACH rejections, enabling your business to address these issues quickly and seamlessly, rescuing transactions that may otherwise be lost.
When it comes to reporting, TapDash’s Dashboard shines. Instead of forcing you to sift through endless pages of individual transactions, TapDash simplifies the process with powerful filtering and reporting options. You can drill down by terminal, card number, card type, date, or other relevant parameters to find the exact data you need quickly and in a way that gives you the ability to integrate this information into business planning. TapDash’s intuitive design allows you to spend less time searching for information and more time acting on it.
Additionally, TapDash’s reporting tools are designed to seamlessly interface with popular third-party financial reporting and CRM systems such as QuickBooks, Salesforce, and more. The ability to export data for use with these platforms streamlines accounting and operational processes, saving you time, minimizing labor costs, and reducing errors. Whether you need to analyze revenue trends, track refunds, or reconcile fees, the TapDash Dashboard provides the insights needed for better decision-making.
As any small business owner knows, chargebacks and fraud are to be expected for any business that processes payments. However, these factors can significantly disrupt cash flow and increase operational costs for small businesses. TapDash addresses these challenges with advanced chargeback and fraud prevention tools that are integrated directly into its Dashboard.
With TapDash’s dashboard tools, managing chargebacks is no longer a cumbersome, time-consuming process. TapDash’s tools keep you updated on every transaction, allowing you to respond quickly and efficiently.

The platform also simplifies the process of submitting evidence to challenge chargeback requests, helping you minimize losses and improve your chances of winning disputes.
Fraud prevention is another critical component of the TapDash Dashboard. TapDash’s robust tools can help your business manage settings such as Address Verification Service (AVS) and Card Verification Value (CVV) requirements. These tools help mitigate external threats in real time, reducing the risk of fraudulent transactions and attacks by bad actors. Importantly, these features come at no additional cost, ensuring that even small businesses can access enterprise-grade protection against fraud and bad-faith transactions.

The gateway includes a Virtual Terminal and Hosted Forms, enabling businesses to take payments face-to-face, over the phone, or through email – all without the need for any specialized coding expertise. This versatility ensures that your business can meet customer needs, even in unusual or unpredictable situations.
For businesses that live primarily online, TapDash’s Hosted Payment Form is an invaluable tool. It can be easily embedded into a website or online invoice, allowing customers to complete payments seamlessly. Businesses can even customize the form with their logo, extending their brand presence throughout the customer journey.

This feature simplifies the process of resolving issues, as you can easily attach relevant documents like screenshots or authorization forms. The ability to track current and past tickets, view replies, and respond directly within the Dashboard ensures that support is always just a click away. With TapDash, small businesses can minimize downtime and maintain smooth operations.
