Merchant Services and Clover POS in Santa Monica, California

How it works in Santa Monica
We come to you. The account and menu or inventory are built first, hardware is placed and programmed, and the cutover happens in a quiet window with us on site through the first hours of trade. Support afterward is a cell number, and same-day in Santa Monica. Agreements are month to month, hardware is placed or purchased and never leased, and the fee schedule is on one page before you sign.
Dual pricing in Santa Monica
Both a cash price and a card price are shown before the customer chooses, on the customer-facing screen and on signage, and the receipt shows the price paid. Debit and credit are treated the same. The business nets its cash price on every sale and pays $0 in processing. It is the model that fits California's rules, where surcharging is restricted; the detail is on is dual pricing legal in California. Businesses that prefer one posted price get interchange-plus instead.
