Question 2

How does zero-fee processing work in Waukesha?

Accepted Answer

Our zero-fee processing (also called cash discount) lets Waukesha businesses offset most of their credit card processing cost. Customers who pay with a credit card cover a small, clearly posted fee, while cash customers pay the listed price. We set up the signage and receipt disclosures card-brand rules require. You may still have small costs, such as debit transactions, depending on your program.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Most Waukesha businesses are approved and processing payments within 24-48 hours. We offer same-day setup for qualified merchants. Our team handles all the paperwork and equipment programming so you can focus on running your business.

Question 4

Question 6

Is there a contract or cancellation fee?
