What merchant services include
Merchant services can include the account, processor, payment devices, POS system, gateway, virtual terminal, funding setup, reporting tools, chargeback support, and pricing program used to accept customer payments.
Merchant services should match your business workflow
A restaurant, retail store, auto service business, professional office, contractor, medical office, and mobile service company usually need different payment tools. The right setup depends on where the customer pays, how the staff enters the sale, and whether the payment is made in person, online, by phone, or by invoice.
In-person checkout
Counter checkout, customer-facing screens, receipts, tipping, cash drawer use, and staff permissions should be reviewed before selecting a POS device.
Remote and phone payments
Virtual terminals and gateways can support keyed transactions, deposits, phone payments, invoices, payment links, and remote collection workflows.
Mobile and field payments
Mobile payment tools can support service calls, delivery, events, field teams, on-site deposits, and businesses that collect payments away from a main counter.
Compare merchant services pricing programs
There is no single payment-processing program that fits every business. Some businesses want customer-facing Dual Pricing, some want Interchange Plus statement clarity, and others may need traditional processing with Clover POS, virtual terminals, gateways, or invoice tools.
| Program | General idea | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Dual Pricing | Customers see clear payment-based pricing, such as cash and card pricing. | Customer-facing price display, signage, receipt wording, staff training, Clover setup, and checkout flow. |
| Interchange Plus | Processor markup is shown separately from other card acceptance costs. | Processor markup, monthly fees, card mix, average ticket size, gateway fees, and statement clarity. |
| Traditional processing | The business uses a standard merchant account and payment setup based on the approved program. | Rate structure, fees, equipment needs, contract terms, support, funding, and workflow fit. |
| Gateway or virtual terminal | The business accepts keyed, online, invoice, phone, or remote payments. | Gateway fees, keyed rates, PCI needs, invoice flow, payment links, and customer communication. |
This page is general business information, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Program availability, pricing, underwriting, and requirements can vary by processor, business type, location, and card network rules.
Statement review before choosing a processor
A merchant statement review helps business owners understand how their current payment-processing account is structured. SecureTrust can review monthly fees, card mix, transaction types, Clover or device setup, gateway fees, virtual terminal activity, and whether another program may fit better.
