Guides for merchants who want the real numbers.
Plain-language, actionable guides written for owners who would rather understand their costs than take a sales pitch on faith.
Request a no-obligation savings review
Start with your statement
Everything begins with knowing your effective rate. Our statement guide walks through each section of a typical processing statement and shows you how to calculate it in ten minutes.
Then compare programs
Dual pricing, cash discounts and surcharges sound similar but work very differently. Our comparison guide lays out the customer experience, rules and trade-offs side by side.
Then get the details right
Most customer complaints about pricing programs come from unclear signage. Our checklist covers what to post, where and how.
Frequently asked questions
What does PrimeSwipe help my business do?
PrimeSwipe helps merchants evaluate card-processing costs and choose between traditional pricing and eligible FeeShift programs. Start with a no-obligation savings review; the right recommendation depends on your business, payment mix, location and current agreement.
Can I really eliminate every processing expense?
Not necessarily. Eligible pricing programs can offset some processing costs, but equipment, software, monthly fees, debit acceptance and other charges may remain. Ask for a written total-cost comparison rather than relying on a headline rate.
What do I need to request a savings review?
Your name and email are enough to start. Business details and processing volume are optional. A specialist may later request a recent statement through an appropriate secure channel. Do not send card numbers, bank credentials or Social Security numbers through this website.
Is requesting a review a merchant-account application?
No. This short inquiry does not open an account or commit you to a contract. Underwriting, documentation, equipment compatibility and final pricing are reviewed separately before you decide.
Do I need to replace my current terminal?
That depends on the terminal, software and processor. Include your existing setup when you speak with a specialist. Confirm integration, hardware, training and cancellation costs before switching.
Will the savings calculator give me a binding quote?
No. It illustrates the processing expense implied by the volume and effective rate you enter. Actual savings depend on eligibility, residual fees and the plan selected. Only a written proposal can establish your costs.
