No Hidden Fees.
No Surprises.

We believe you should understand every dollar you pay to process payments. Here's how our pricing works โ€” in plain English, not industry jargon.

Choose the Pricing Model
That Fits Your Business

We offer two transparent pricing approaches. Both eliminate hidden fees. The right choice depends on your business type, your customers, and your priorities.

Interchange-Plus

The most transparent model in the industry. You pay the real cost of each card transaction plus a small, fixed markup from us. Nothing hidden.
Interchange + our markup varies by card type
  • You see exactly what Visa/Mastercard charges and what we charge โ€” separately
  • No bundled categories that hide rate increases
  • No long-term contract required
  • Best for businesses that want full transparency and process higher volumes
  • We review your first statement with you to confirm everything matches

How It Works

What Is Interchange? (The Simple Version)

Every time a customer swipes, dips, or taps a credit card, the card network (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) charges a base fee called interchange. This fee goes to the customer's bank โ€” not to us, not to your processor. It's a fixed cost that every business pays, no matter who their processor is.

The interchange rate depends on the type of card used. A basic debit card costs less than a premium rewards Amex card, because rewards cards cost the bank more to offer. You can't control which cards your customers use โ€” but you can control how much markup sits on top of that base cost.

๐Ÿ’ก A Simple Example

Customer pays $100 on a Visa rewards card. Interchange rate for that card type: 1.65% + $0.10.

Interchange: $1.75 (this is fixed โ€” everyone pays it)

With interchange-plus pricing, you'd also pay our small markup on top โ€” let's say 0.25% + $0.10.

Our markup: $0.35
Your total cost on that $100 sale: $2.10

With a big processor using bundled/tiered pricing, they might charge you a flat "qualified rate" of 2.75% โ€” but that $2.75 includes their markup hidden inside. You'd never know the interchange was only $1.75.

That hidden markup difference: $0.65 per $100 โ€” adds up fast.
Plain English

What Is Dual Pricing / Cash Discount?

Dual pricing is simple: you set a cash price (your base price) and a card price (base price + a small service fee that covers the processing cost). The customer chooses how they want to pay. If they pay cash, they pay the lower price. If they pay by card, the slightly higher price covers the processing fee so it costs you nothing.

This is 100% legal in Florida and across the U.S. We handle the terminal setup so both prices display automatically, and we provide any required signage to keep you fully compliant.

๐Ÿ’ก A Simple Example

You sell a service for $100.

Cash price shown: $100.00
Card price shown: $103.99

If the customer pays with a card, the $3.99 service fee covers your processing cost entirely. You receive $100 in your bank โ€” not $96 or $97 like you would with traditional processing.

Result: You keep 100% of every sale. The customer sees both prices clearly and chooses.

Is this right for your business? It depends on your customers, your price sensitivity, and your industry. Restaurants, auto shops, and service businesses tend to do very well with dual pricing.

POS Pricing Depends on
Your Business โ€” Not a Menu

There's no one-size-fits-all POS price. What you need (and what you'll pay) depends on the size of your operation, your workflow, and your industry. Here's a general guide.

๐Ÿ“ฑ

Simple / Mobile

A single wireless terminal or mobile card reader. Perfect for businesses that need to accept payments without a full POS system. Low monthly cost, minimal hardware.
Good for: Food trucks, mobile services, pop-ups, solo contractors, market vendors
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

Standard / Counter

A countertop terminal or basic POS station with receipt printing and basic inventory. Fits most retail and service businesses with a single location and moderate volume.
Good for: Boutiques, salons, auto shops, dental offices, small retail, professional services
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Full-Service / Multi-Station

Multiple terminals, kitchen display systems, table management, employee tracking, advanced reporting. Built for businesses with complex workflows and high transaction volume.
Good for: Full-service restaurants, bars, multi-register retail, medical clinics with multiple checkout points
We don't publish fixed POS prices because the honest answer is: it depends. A food truck doesn't need a $5,000 restaurant system, and a busy restaurant shouldn't be running on a $200 mobile reader. We evaluate your business first, then recommend the right setup at the right price โ€” with no contracts or hidden lease terms. Talk to us and we'll give you a straight answer.
โš ๏ธ Watch Out

The "Free Equipment" Trap

Many big processors offer "free" terminals or POS systems. Here's what they don't tell you: the equipment usually comes with a non-cancellable lease (sometimes 48 months), inflated processing rates to cover the hardware cost, and an early termination fee if you try to leave. That "free" terminal can end up costing you thousands more than just buying it outright.

Our approach: We tell you the actual cost of the equipment, offer no-contract options, and let you decide. If a free placement makes sense for your situation, we'll present it honestly โ€” but you'll always know exactly what you're agreeing to.
