Frequently Asked Questions About Payment Processing

Spartan Pay offers two plans: Spartan Traditional at 2.69% per in-person transaction ($14.95/mo), and Spartan Edge at $0 in processing fees using Dual Pricing ($29/mo). Both plans include a smart POS terminal and next-day deposits — with no hidden fees.

Yes. Spartan Pay offers more competitive pricing than Square (2.69% vs. 2.6% + $0.10), a POS terminal included at no extra cost, next-day deposits instead of 1–2 business days, and live support in English and Spanish. With the Edge plan you can process payments at $0 using Dual Pricing — something Square doesn't offer.

Dual Pricing is a model where you display two prices: one for cash and one for card. Customers who pay by card cover the processing cost, which lets you process payments at $0. Cash discounting is broadly permitted in the U.S. and card network rules allow it, as long as both prices are clearly disclosed up front. Posting rules vary by state.

With Spartan Pay, you receive your funds the next business day (next-day funding). Unlike processors that hold your money for 3–7 days, we deposit directly into your bank account — fast.

Yes. Spartan Pay works for restaurants (in-person POS terminal), online stores (Shopify and WooCommerce integrations), e-commerce, and any small business that needs to accept credit and debit card payments.

Yes. Spartan Pay provides merchant services in North Carolina and all 50 states, with payment processing available for businesses in Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro, and beyond.

No. Spartan Pay doesn't require long-term contracts and has no hidden fees. Our pricing is transparent from day one, and you can cancel anytime with no penalties.
