Pricing

Priced to how dealers actually get paid.

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.

Every tier, in the open

The full rate card, nothing hidden in an average.

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.

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.

Why tiers, not one number

A single flat rate looks simple. It just hides the difference.

Card-present beats keyed, every time

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.

Rewards and business cards cost more, and that is normal

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 price to your real transaction mix

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.

Optional

Prefer to offset the cost? Dual pricing is there if you want it.

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.

It is an option on any PayNet account, not a requirement. Your account manager helps you decide whether it fits how you sell.

Whatever tier your cards land in, every PayNet account runs on the same connected stack.

The View apps and QuickBooks, synced

Payments flow into SalesView, ProductionView, ServiceView, PayView, i360, and QuickBooks with no re-keying.

Tap to pay for the field

Techs collect on the phones they already carry, at the card-present rate the tier table rewards.

Invoices, links, and card on file

Deposits, draws, and maintenance plans handled inside one customer record.

ACH and checks

Steer the big final draw to the cheaper rail, with verification and an optional warranty.

Guided PCI compliance

Level 1 PCI DSS infrastructure underneath, and a guided path that keeps your validation current.

A dedicated account manager

Someone who understands your business, how you operate, and how dealer money moves.

The statement review

Three steps to your real number.

Headline rates are marketing. Your effective rate across your actual card mix is the number that matters, and this is how we find it.

1

Send a recent statement

One or two months from your current processor is plenty. Your account manager takes it from there.

2

We map your real costs

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.

3

You get the honest comparison

The PayNet plan priced against your actual mix, side by side. If we cannot do better, we will say so. No cost, no obligation.

Straight answers

Pricing questions, answered plainly.

Which tier will my payments actually hit?
It depends on the card and how you take it. A regular consumer card tapped or dipped in person lands in the qualified swiped tier, the best one. Rewards and business cards, and anything keyed in, land higher. The statement review shows exactly where your real mix falls.
Why not just give me one flat rate?
Because a flat rate does not remove the difference between cheap and expensive cards, it just averages it and hides it. Tiers keep the difference visible, and they reward the card-present behavior your crews control, like collecting at the door.
What is the $0.19?
A per-transaction fee that applies in every tier, listed right on the rate card. It is part of the published price, not a surprise on your statement.
Is dual pricing required?
No. Dual pricing is an option you can turn on if showing a card price and a cash price fits how you sell. Plenty of dealers run without it. Your account manager will walk through whether it makes sense for you.
Can I keep my rates in the best tier?
You influence it more than you might think. Tap to pay and readers keep field payments card-present, and steering the big final draw to ACH takes the largest payment off card rates entirely. Those two habits do most of the work.
How do I know these numbers are what I will really get?
Every rate is confirmed in writing on your agreement before you sign, and the statement review compares them against your real transaction history first. You decide with your own numbers in front of you.
