Payments and checkout

    Get paid faster, and keep more of it.

    Card fees, clunky checkout and payments that never match the books cost small businesses more than most owners realize. We look at how money comes in, find what's leaking, and fix the setup.

    Who it's for

    Your processing statement is a mystery, customers wait on invoices, or every payment gets re-typed into QuickBooks.

    What we help with

    • Processing fees

      We read your statement line by line and show you what you're really paying.

    • Card readers and checkout

      The right point-of-sale setup for a counter, a truck or a job site.

    • Online payments and invoicing

      Pay-by-link invoices, deposits and online checkout customers actually finish.

    • Cash discount and surcharge programs

      Set up within card-brand rules and your state's law, with the right signs and receipts.

    • Payments that land in your books

      Deposits, fees and refunds matched in QuickBooks automatically.

    • Online store and ordering

      Shopify or BigCommerce set up and synced with your inventory and books.
