Multi-location · Franchise systems · Groups

From your second location to your hundredth.

We set up credit card processing for multi-location businesses, franchise systems, and hospitality groups: each location set up for how it sells, every location priced in writing, and one representative who knows the whole account.

  • Each location set up for how it sells, with deposits set up the way you bank
  • Pricing for every location in writing, before anyone signs
  • One representative who knows every location on the account

What changes with more locations

Location by location, under one rep.

Location by location

Each location is usually set up as its own merchant account, with its own deposits and its own statement, so you can see what each one takes in.

Reporting across locations

Tell us the reporting you need across locations. What your setup supports is confirmed in writing before you sign, not promised on a call.

The next location

Opening another location? We quote it against the pricing your other locations have and start its setup before opening day.

Software for every location

POS systems built for more than one location, with menus, prices, and staff managed from one place on the systems that support it.

Franchise systems

One recommended setup for every franchisee.

Franchisors: we can build one recommended payments setup for your system, from the POS or software to the equipment and the pricing, in writing, so every new franchisee starts from the same page.

Franchisees: each location is its own business, so each one applies and signs its own agreement. You still get the recommended setup, and a rep who already knows your system.

Required to use a certain POS? Tell us which one. Some POS systems only run on their own processing, and some can run on ours. We'll tell you which kind yours is, in writing, before you change anything.

Compare POS systems

In writing, before anyone signs

  • Pricing for each location, line by line
  • The equipment and software for each location
  • How deposits and statements are set up
  • Any term or cancellation fee

Ask about anything that isn't listed. Better now than on your first statement.

Groups and growing companies

Hospitality groups, selling abroad, and security.

Hospitality groups

Several restaurants or bars under one group, each with its own menu and its own setup, and one rep for all of them.

Selling abroad

For U.S. companies with locations or customers abroad, we can introduce partner platforms that handle acceptance in other countries and currencies. Local acquiring usually requires a local legal entity, and we'll say so up front.

Security, in writing

Before anything is installed, we walk through how card data moves through your setup and which parts of the PCI questionnaire fall to you. The security features of the equipment we propose are confirmed in writing, model by model.

How it works

Every location set up before it goes live.

Step 1

A call about your locations

Tell us how many locations you run, how each one sells, and what you pay now. A statement from each location helps.

Step 2

Everything in writing

Pricing, equipment, software, and any term or cancellation fee, for every location, before anyone signs.

Step 3

Set up location by location

We set up each location with you and run a test payment at each one before it goes live.

Step 4

One rep who answers

You get a direct number. When something comes up at any location, you call a person who already knows your account.

FAQ

What multi-location owners ask.

Does each location need its own merchant account?
Usually, yes. Each location typically gets its own merchant account, with its own deposits and statement, which is what lets you see what each location takes in. We'll confirm how yours will be set up, in writing.
Can each location deposit to a different bank account?
Usually, yes. Deposits are set up location by location, so your locations can share one bank account or each have their own. We confirm it in writing before you sign.
Can we see every location in one place?
Tell us what reporting you need. What's available depends on the processor and the POS, so we confirm it in writing before you sign rather than promise it on a call.
We're a franchise. Does each franchisee sign separately?
Yes. Each franchisee is its own business, so each one applies and signs its own agreement. The franchisor can still recommend one setup for the whole system.
Do you work with businesses outside the United States?
Our focus is the United States. For U.S. companies with locations or customers abroad, we can introduce partner platforms that handle acceptance in other countries and currencies. Ask, and we'll be straight about what is available where.
Is there a contract?
Terms differ by setup. Before anyone signs, you'll see the term and any cancellation fee for every location in writing, and we'll point them out on the call.
