60 seconds. A few taps. Your estimated rate, built from published pricing. Keep your software either way. Typical effective all-in rates are 2.2%-2.5%, versus 2.9%-3.6% from most bundled processors.
Plugged into the software you already run
Most processors make you rip out the software you run your business on. We don't. ShopConnect Pro layers on top of Jobber, Housecall Pro, Clio, Tekmetric, and 300+ others. Your checkout, your invoices, and your team's day-to-day stay exactly the same. Only your processing bill changes. Don't see your platform? We can bridge to any web-based system.
Request integrationDrop in your monthly card volume and the software you run. We compare published pricing where available with a typical 2.2%-2.5% effective all-in range.
Estimate only. Per-payment fees are not included in the published-scenario or generic-range cost math.
Published comparison scenarios are: Jobber Payments 2.90% for online/keyed transactions; Housecall Pro 3.49% for keyed, manual, and stored-card transactions; Mindbody 3.60% for card-not-present online, keyed, and stored transactions; Clio Payments 2.95% for all standard cards; and HoneyBook 3.40% for card-on-file transactions. Other platforms use the generic 2.90%-3.60% bundled-rate range.
Standard pricing compares the selected comparison rate with a typical 2.2%-2.5% effective all-in range.
Dual pricing uses a customer-paid program fee of about 3.5%; merchant processing cost lands near $0 when the cash price is disclosed.
The numbers above are estimates, not quotes. Your actual rate depends on ticket size, card mix, refund volume, and other variables. Send your last processing statement for a quote based on your real numbers.
Once a quarter we take a real merchant's processing statement and break it down in public. The rate they were quoted versus the rate they actually paid. The markup their software added on top. What ShopConnect would have routed it at instead.
We read the statement a business owner sent in. We show the headline rate, the real effective rate, and the dollar amount their software's processor charged on top. No editing, no spin.
- ShopConnect Pro
Tier 1 is where we shine: a dedicated integration with full auto reconciliation, so payments post into your software the moment they settle. Tier 2 still routes through us; auto reconciliation is on the roadmap. Tier 3 is what's coming next and request.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most about ShopConnect Pro.
ShopConnect Pro is a browser extension and server side bridge that connects the business software you already run to a lower cost payment processor. We don't replace your software. We don't rebuild your checkout. We sit quietly between the two, route payments through better rails, and reconcile the result to the originating invoice automatically.
In practice that means three things:
We currently support 300 plus vertical software systems. The deepest integrations live on Tier 1 (full auto reconciliation). Tier 2 covers most of the rest with the same reconciliation outcome through our universal bridge. Tier 3 is the expansion list we're actively shipping integrations for.
Both programs are designed to offset your processing costs by passing them to the customer who chooses to pay by card. The difference is mostly mechanical, and the rules around them differ by state and by card brand.
Surcharging adds a small explicit fee on credit card transactions only (debit and prepaid cards are exempt). The surcharge has to be disclosed at the point of sale, capped at the processor's actual cost (and never above 3 percent), and registered with the card networks 30 days in advance.
Cash discounting works the other way around. The list price already includes the cost of card acceptance, and customers who pay in cash see a discount applied at checkout. There's no surcharge, technically, so the rules are simpler and it's allowed in all 50 states.
ShopConnect Pro supports both. We build the disclosures into the checkout, file the network registrations, run the math correctly so debit, prepaid, and refunds all behave the way they're supposed to, and stamp every charge with the right line items so your books stay clean.
When done correctly, surcharging or cash discounting can take a merchant's net cost of card acceptance close to zero.
Auto reconciliation means software, not staff, decides which payment matches which invoice. To do it well, a system needs three things: a reliable identifier on every transaction, write access to the source ledger, and rules for handling the messy edge cases (partial payments, refunds, surcharges, tips).
ShopConnect Pro is built on top of that exact pipeline. On Tier 1 integrations the bridge stamps every charge with the originating invoice ID, posts it the moment funding clears, and handles partial payments and refunds without breaking the link. On Tier 2 the universal bridge delivers the same reconciliation outcome while we ship the dedicated integration.
From your team's point of view, invoices simply mark themselves paid.
Send us a recent processing statement. We'll quote a custom rate in under 24 hours, with no obligation. Either we lower the fees you're paying today, or we set you up to pass them through to your customers via compliant surcharging - either way, The Captive Processor stops billing you on the spread.
