Soar Payments Review specializes in finding credit card processing homes for hard-to-place (that is, high-risk) merchants with refreshing transparency.

While merchant account fees are definitely irritating (and expensive!), they’re often an inevitable cost of doing business. Even if you sign up with a payment service provider like Square that doesn’t charge monthly fees, you’ll still be paying the costs associated with maintaining your account in the form of higher transaction processing rates.

When you accept credit cards as payment, you are always charged a fee for processing. We’ll show you how fees work, which ones are mandatory, and which ones you can negotiate away or just skip by finding a great processor!

Payment service providers (PSPs) streamline the process of obtaining credit card processing services by aggregating all users into a single merchant account. This eliminates the need for a lengthy underwriting process before a merchant can be approved for an account, but also increases the chance of a hold, freeze, or account termination. Your business will not receive a unique merchant ID number if you sign up with a payment service provider. Well-known PSPs include Square, PayPal, and Stripe.

Can you afford not to insure your business? Business insurance is a small cost to pay to keep yourself safeguarded from financial ruin.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology allows businesses to make and receive calls over the internet, offering more features, better call clarity, and typically lower costs compared to traditional landlines.

It will cost you more for features you might expect to be standard (reservations, customer loyalty, and online ordering to name a few) which can run up your monthly bill. There are fewer integrations available which is a blessing for easily-overwhelmed new business owners but a curse for quickly growing restaurants.
