Where we work in Auburn
Auburn is downtown character and big-box volume in the same city. A Main Street brewery and an Auburn Way dealership need different plans. We set up for each.
Downtown Auburn / Main Street
Places to eat, breweries and small shops in a core you can walk. Fast terminals and dual pricing guard your margin on each ticket.
How we set this up →The Outlet Collection corridor
Outlet shops and the chains near them, with heavy weekend traffic. A POS and card prices built to keep the check out line moving.
How we set this up →Auburn Way auto dealers
The dealer and service strip. Big tickets, in person and keyed. Interchange plus pricing beats a flat rate here most of the time.
How we set this up →Green River / service businesses
Salons, clinics and shops that book ahead. Card on file, billing that repeats, and dual pricing your regulars never ask about.
How we set this up →In another part of Auburn? We cover it too.
Lakeland Hills, West Auburn, the A Street corridor. If you take cards in Auburn, the free statement read is yours.
Get startedWhat a broker does for a shop that takes cards in Auburn
We are a broker, not a processor. We work for you, not for them. We make banks and processors bid against each other for your Auburn account. Your card rates drop. The way you take cards does not change.
Card processing is priced like used cars. The wholesale cost is public. The markup on top is not. A Main Street restaurant and an Auburn Way dealer can do the same card volume and pay rates a point apart. Neither would know. We make processors bid for your account. Then we check it again so the bid does not creep back up.
Auburn pulls shoppers from all over the region. The biggest outlet mall in the Pacific Northwest is here. That volume cuts both ways. You get more sales, but more card fees come off each one. Auburn Way has car dealers and big-ticket shops. On a $30,000 sale, flat rate and interchange plus pricing are far apart. That is real money we can usually get back.

“Drew came out for the initial visit and helped with the setup, walking us through the entire process with ease. We're saving money with lower fees while getting top-notch service.”
“They made switching our payment processing incredibly easy. I needed a mobile solution that just works... It's rare to find a payment broker that actually cares about your bottom line.”
An Auburn auto shop running $90K a month at a 2.9% real rate pays about $31,000 a year in fees. On interchange plus or dual pricing, a meaningful share of that stays with the business.
How dual pricing works →Auburn questions, answered
Do you cover Auburn in person?
Yes. We are 15 minutes north in Federal Way. We read statements at your counter. We install on site. You meet your broker face to face.
I run high-ticket sales. Does pricing matter more for me?
Much more. On a big sale, a flat rate and interchange plus pricing can be hundreds of dollars apart. That gap is per sale. Auburn dealers and big-ticket shops gain the most from a real bid.
Is dual pricing legal in Auburn?
Yes, all over the state. We set up the signs, the register steps and the receipts on day one.
What should an Auburn business pay to take cards?
Effective rate is total fees over card volume. Healthy merchants land 2 to 2.5% traditional, or near 0% card cost on dual pricing. Over 2.5%, you're overpaying.
What does the rate check cost?
Nothing. Send us one recent statement. We read it line by line. You get your real rate, the junk fees by name, and the number we would bid for your volume. If your deal is already good, we say so.
It starts with one statement.
We just need to see one recent statement. Upload it right here, or we'll swing by your Auburn business and grab it in person. One or the other, and the read is free.
