What We Do
InterPayments is not a gateway or processor. We are for mid- and enterprise-size merchants who are dissatisfied with high credit card fees. Our surcharging technology works like your sales tax engine - but for card fees. Compliantly recover fees within your existing payment process without changing payment providers. We contractually guarantee compliance with the 67 jurisdictions that govern surcharging.
Alternative surcharging programs simply offer 3.5% fixed rate processing terms without compliance guarantees. They force surcharging across all transactions, have no integrations into your ERP/CRM, and profit by forcing you to pass along their high fees to your customers.
InterPayments' technology is an integrated SaaS. We work with any gateway or processor. We integrate end-to-end with your existing payments flow from payment application to accounting in your general ledger. We offer variable rate surcharging for interchange plus processing terms. And we allow you to customize who, what, where, and how much you surcharge - at the click of a button.
Merchants, payment software vendors, and merchant acquirers use InterPayments to recover processing fees without compliance risks
