Connect with your small business clients through SHAZAM Merchant Card Processing.
Your small business clients are just as important to SHAZAM as they are to you. Our competitive pricing model, traditional and referral program configurations and nonprofit structure allow local businesses to offer services comparable to large merchants. Merchants have the flexibility to accept payments from all major credit and debit cards in-store, online or with a mobile device.
You're In Control With Our Traditional Merchant Program
SHAZAM provides cost-effective payment processing services while you manage the merchant relationship. Our pricing structure allows you to maximize profitability and generate new revenue streams. This program gives your merchants time to engage with their customers and provide the payment solutions to help them grow.
Are you looking for more choice and flexibility?
Contact our merchant services sales team and learn about our pricing options. You can set up your traditional merchant program as a cost plus (allows you to predict your income every month), straight discount (you’re paid a flat rate based on a fixed-percentage of net sales), or tiered discount (you can set up three flat rates for income).
Let SHAZAM Do The Work With The Referral Merchant Program
We realize managing a merchant program takes the time and effort of your staff. That’s why SHAZAM offers you the choice to refer merchants to us. In the Referral Program, you have the opportunity to earn an incentive bonus as well as potential ongoing residual income for each signed merchant referral while SHAZAM takes care of the rest!
Did you know the referral program is a great way to grow your business accounts?
Refer merchants who aren’t your current clients as an opportunity to acquire new depositors and commercial accounts. Our SHAZAM merchant sales representative can educate you and your staff to address any pain points or concerns about successfully recruiting merchants.
