Trade & Supply merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. That matches what we hear: counter and account sales on one system, with business-card savings on every order. That gets expensive fast: chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear, plus in-person sales billed at higher tiers than they actually qualify for. We configure invoicing & pay-by-link with interchange-plus pricing you can verify, plus high-ticket optimization when you need it.
