The payment processing industry is highly competitive—and confusing—for merchants who turn to you to make sense of the process that makes it possible to accept payments with their POS.  Your recommended choice of POS and payment processing partner makes a difference in the future of your client’s business.

It’s no secret that merchant service providers own many POS systems. This arrangement has many benefits for your clients and the potential growth of your business through monthly recurring revenue.
