No single flat rate, because a foundation crew's card mix is not a coffee shop's. Card-present payments earn the lowest rate, keyed payments cost a little more, and we build your plan around the way your jobs really pay.
Tiered pricing means each card lands in the tier that matches its real network cost. Here is the whole table, so you always know what a payment costs before it clears.
| Program | Qualified | Mid-qualified | Non-qualified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swiped (card-present) | 1.79% + $0.19 | 2.49% + $0.19 | 3.25% + $0.19 |
| Keyed and card-on-file | 2.09% + $0.19 | Settles at qualified or non-qualified | 3.25% + $0.19 |
Qualified is a standard consumer card read in person. Mid and non-qualified are rewards, corporate, and keyed cards that carry a higher network cost. Rates shown are the current PayNet sheet and are confirmed on your agreement before you sign.
A swiped, dipped, or tapped card proves it is really there, so it clears at the lowest cost. Keyed and stored cards cost a little more because the card is never physically read. Collecting at the door keeps you in the best tier.
A points card or a company card carries a higher network cost than a basic debit card. That is true at every processor. A flat rate just buries it inside an average, and you pay for it either way.
We read your actual statement, set your plan to the cards your customers really use, and re-check it as your business changes. No headline rate that only a fraction of your payments will ever hit.
Show a card price and a cash price side by side. Card payers see the card price, cash and check payers get a small discount, and the signage and receipts are set up for you.

Headline rates are marketing. Your effective rate across your actual card mix is the number that matters, and this is how we find it.
One or two months from your current processor is plenty. Your account manager takes it from there.
Every transaction gets sorted by how it was taken and what card it was, so you see your true effective rate, not a brochure number.
The PayNet plan priced against your actual mix, side by side. If we cannot do better, we will say so. No cost, no obligation.
A headline rate is not what you actually pay. We read your last statement, show you the real effective rate across your card mix, and build the PayNet plan against it. No cost, no obligation.
