Card processing built for professional services firms.

Law firms, accounting practices, agencies, and consultants tend to invoice in the hundreds or thousands of dollars — exactly the range where a flat-rate processor built for coffee shops quietly overcharges the most. Most firms accept cards as an afterthought and have never had the statement explained to them.

Where the fees hide

• High-ticket invoices on flat-rate pricing — A percentage rate that's negligible on a $50 sale becomes a real cost on a $5,000 retainer payment.
• Surcharge and convenience-fee rules — Rules for passing card costs to clients vary by card brand and by state — getting it wrong creates compliance risk, not savings.
• Recurring retainer billing — Monthly retainers need reliable recurring billing that doesn't quietly fail and cost you a follow-up call.
• No cheaper alternative offered — ACH is often meaningfully cheaper than card processing for large invoices, and most firms are never offered it as an option.

What to look for

• Interchange-plus pricing built for high-ticket transactions
• An ACH option alongside card acceptance for large invoices
• Compliant surcharge/convenience-fee setup if you choose to pass on costs
• No lease, no long-term contract, so your partners aren't locking the firm into anything
