[ FAQ ]

Retail card processing — common questions

Retail card processing handles card-present transactions at a physical counter — EMV chip, contactless tap, and mobile wallets — and qualifies for lower interchange than card-not-present (online) transactions. Most independent retailers overpay because they're routed through e-commerce or tiered pricing buckets.
