Restaurants and cafés
Ask about tips, pay-at-table devices, online ordering and whether switching affects your current POS. Compare equipment and software costs together.
Salons and personal services
Check appointment deposits, tips, cancellations and payment links. Understand how bookings and customer records would move if you switch.
Trades and home services
Compare on-site payments, invoices, deposits and settlement timing. Ask whether the provider supports the way and time frame in which you deliver work.
Professional services
Consider invoicing, recurring billing where relevant, accounting integrations and customer support. Provider eligibility depends on the exact service offered.
Online and other businesses
Compare checkout compatibility, fraud tools, refunds, subscriptions if applicable and fulfilment time frames. Tell us exactly what you sell so eligibility can be checked.
Auto repair businesses are welcome too: read our auto repair processing guide.
What we need to match your enquiry
- Your business and public website or listing.
- What you sell, where you operate and how customers pay.
- Your approximate monthly card volume—there is no minimum to enquire.
- What you want to improve: fees, equipment, service or payment workflow.
We screen enquiries before proposing a provider. Legal operation alone does not guarantee processor acceptance. Each processor and underwriting bank has its own prohibited and restricted business rules; final approval belongs to them. We do not claim affiliation with any bank.
We are not recruiting prohibited business activities for this service. Categories requiring specialist underwriting must be confirmed with a suitable provider before an introduction.
A comparison checklist to use before changing providers
- Use the same month's total card sales and all related processing fees to calculate your effective rate.
- List transaction fees, monthly charges, software, equipment costs and minimums separately.
- Check how in-person, online and manually entered payments are priced.
- Ask about contract length, cancellation charges, equipment ownership and integration work.
- Get the complete offer in writing; do not treat a headline percentage as the all-in cost.
