Is Unison Payment Solutions Right for You?

We're not the right fit for everyone — and we're upfront about that. Here's who benefits most from working with us, and who might be better served elsewhere.

Our Sweet Spot

Unison Is Built For...

High-Risk Businesses Declined by Square, Stripe, or PayPal

If you sell CBD, peptides, supplements, gaming products, or anything else that mainstream processors reject, we have the banking relationships to get you approved and keep you processing.

High-Risk Merchant Accounts

Businesses Processing $10K+/Month Wanting Lower Rates

Flat-rate processors charge 2.6–2.9% regardless of card type. Once you hit meaningful volume, interchange-plus pricing saves you 20–40% by passing wholesale rates directly to you.

How Our Pricing Works

Multi-Location Restaurants & Retail Needing POS + Processing From One Provider

Managing separate POS and processing vendors creates billing headaches, integration issues, and finger-pointing when something breaks. We provide both under one account with unified reporting.

POS Hardware

Merchants Tired of Rate Increases and Poor Support

If your current processor raised your rates after signup or routes you through automated menus instead of a real person, you deserve better. We offer month-to-month contracts with no rate increases and a dedicated account manager.

Businesses Wanting to Eliminate Fees With Cash Discount or Dual Pricing

Our compliant cash discount program lets you legally pass processing costs to card-paying customers, reducing your effective processing cost to 0%.

eCommerce Stores Needing a Dedicated Payment Gateway

A standalone gateway gives you more control over your checkout, better fraud tools, and lower per-transaction costs than bundled platform solutions.

Honest Assessment

You Might Be Better Served Elsewhere If...

You process less than $3,000/month

At very low volume, a flat-rate processor like Square can be simpler and more cost-effective. The savings from interchange-plus pricing only become meaningful at higher volumes.

You need a full e-commerce platform

If you need website hosting, product catalog management, and payment processing bundled together, an all-in-one platform like Shopify may be a better starting point. We focus on processing, not store building.

You only accept payments once or twice a month

If you rarely process transactions, a dedicated merchant account with monthly minimums may not make financial sense. A simple invoicing tool with built-in payments could be more practical.

You need crypto or international multi-currency processing

We specialize in domestic US payment processing. If your primary need is cryptocurrency acceptance or processing in dozens of currencies globally, a specialized international processor would serve you better.

FAQ

Choosing the Right Processor

How do I know if interchange-plus pricing will save me money?
If you process more than $10,000/month and currently use a flat-rate processor (2.6–2.9% per transaction), interchange-plus almost always saves money. We offer free statement analyses — send us your current statement and we'll show you the exact savings.
What if I'm not sure whether my business is considered high-risk?
Contact us and describe your business. We'll tell you honestly whether you need a high-risk account or if a standard merchant account will work. There's no obligation and no cost to find out.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. All Unison merchant accounts are month-to-month with no early termination fees. If we're not delivering value, you're free to leave at any time.
Can I use Unison if I already have a Shopify or WooCommerce store?
Yes. Our payment gateway integrates with most major e-commerce platforms. You keep your storefront and use our processing for lower rates and better support.
What does a free consultation include?
We review your current processing setup, analyze your statement (if you have one), identify savings opportunities, and recommend the best account type and pricing structure for your business. No cost, no obligation.
