What affects credit card processing cost
Credit card processing cost is affected by more than one advertised rate. The real cost can depend on card type, transaction method, average ticket, monthly volume, keyed vs card-present activity, gateway use, account fees, equipment costs, and processor markup.
Card acceptance options for different business workflows
The right processing setup depends on where the customer pays. A restaurant, retail store, service business, professional office, medical office, contractor, and auto service business may each need a different mix of tools.
In-person payments
Accept chip, tap, swipe, and customer-facing checkout payments using a Clover POS device or other approved payment hardware.
Phone and keyed payments
Use virtual terminal tools for phone orders, deposits, back-office payments, invoices, remote customers, or office-based payment collection.
Online and invoice payments
Use gateway tools, payment links, online payment forms, hosted checkout, or invoice workflows when customers pay remotely.

Compare credit card processing programs
There is no single best credit card processing program for every business. The right option depends on customer experience, checkout flow, transaction method, statement fees, and business type.
| Program | General idea | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Dual Pricing / Cash Discount | Customer-facing payment-based pricing, such as cash and card pricing, depending on the approved setup. | Customer-facing display, signage, receipt wording, staff training, checkout flow, and POS setup. |

Why statement review matters
Many businesses only look at the headline processing rate. A full statement review can show monthly fees, transaction fees, gateway fees, keyed-entry activity, equipment costs, PCI-related fees, batch fees, chargeback fees, and other account-level costs.
SecureTrust can review the statement and compare the payment setup against the way the business actually gets paid.
Credit card processing by business type
Different business types need different processing setups. SecureTrust reviews the checkout workflow before recommending a payment program or device.
Restaurants
Tips, taxes, menus, modifiers, online ordering, tableside payments, and customer-facing checkout.
Retail Stores
Counter checkout, receipts, item setup, inventory needs, staff permissions, and customer-facing payment flow.
Auto Services
Deposits, service payments, parts counters, invoices, higher-ticket transactions, and virtual terminal tools.
