We choose our merchant services carefully, and BluePay has been a reliable option for studios that want integrated payment processing inside DSM. BluePay is also known for competitive rates and responsive customer service.
BluePay became part of First Data, and First Data later became part of Fiserv. Studios that already use BluePay with DSM can continue working through that processing relationship, while new payment processing conversations are now handled through the current Fiserv team.

Competitive Rates
For studios evaluating payment processing, the current team can discuss available rates, account options, and the best fit for your payment volume. We have enjoyed working with the BluePay/Fiserv processing relationship over the years because the support has been responsive and helpful.
Automatic Payments and Global Tuition
You can optionally set up customers to have their card or checking account charged automatically on a recurring basis. DSM also supports Global Tuition in the Finance section, allowing you to charge all clients at once or a selected group of clients at once.

Customer Service
We have been impressed with the level of customer service that studios receive from BluePay. Their technical support, customer service, and billing teams have been helpful when questions come up about payment processing or account details.
Security
BluePay offers PCI-focused payment processing and keeps card data on its own systems rather than inside DSM. That means payment processing stays integrated with DSM while BluePay handles the transaction side. For current in-person and online payment solutions through the Fiserv family, you can also review CardConnect.
Online Payments
Your customer can log in to your DSM customer portal, sign up for classes, pay fees, and agree to automatic billing if you choose to offer that option.

Mobile and Desktop Payment Integration
You can take payments from a computer or mobile device, and the current payment processing team can help you choose compatible hardware for your studio. Once a card is processed through BluePay, the payment is recorded in DSM.
If you have questions about BluePay for an existing account, or if you want to discuss the current Fiserv payment processing path for DSM, contact Dance Studio Manager and we can connect you with the right team.
