Why Dallas Business Owners Trust Us

We’re not a faceless national company. Dallas Merchant Services is a division of Point of Sale USA (POSUSA), and we’ve been in the payment processing and POS industry since 2011. We’re locally based in the DFW area, and we’ve spent over a decade helping business owners navigate this space.

In my experience, the biggest mistake business owners make with merchant services is signing up with the first company that calls them. Processing rates and fees vary significantly from one provider to the next, and a lot of companies bury their real costs in the fine print. Comparing multiple quotes is the single best thing you can do to make sure you’re getting a fair deal.

We don’t charge you anything for this service. The providers who participate pay for the opportunity to compete for your business. That means the incentive is always on them to give you their best offer up front.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are merchant services?
Merchant services is the term for the financial services that allow a business to accept credit card and debit card payments. This includes the merchant account itself, payment processing, the credit card terminal or POS system hardware, and the payment gateway if you accept online payments.
How much does credit card processing cost in Dallas?
Most businesses in Dallas will see effective rates somewhere between 1.5% and 3.5% per transaction, though some processors add monthly fees, PCI compliance fees, and batch fees on top. The best way to know what you’ll actually pay is to get quotes from multiple providers and compare the total cost, not just the advertised rate.
What is interchange-plus pricing?
Interchange-plus pricing is a transparent pricing model where your processor charges you the actual interchange rate set by the card networks (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) plus a fixed markup. It’s generally considered the most transparent and fair pricing model for most businesses. It’s the pricing model we typically recommend.
Do I need a separate merchant account and POS system?
It depends on your situation. Some POS providers like Square and Toast include built-in payment processing, so you don’t need a separate merchant account. Others require you to pair them with a third-party processor. If you need both, our sister site Dallas POS Systems can help with the POS side while we help you find the best processing rates.
Can I switch processors without disrupting my business?
Yes. Switching is usually straightforward and can often be done with minimal downtime. The main thing to watch out for is early termination fees on your current contract. Before you switch, review your existing agreement to see if there’s a cancellation penalty.
Do you serve businesses outside of Dallas?
While we’re locally focused on the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, the providers we work with serve businesses throughout Texas and the United States. If you’re in Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Denton, or anywhere else in DFW, we can help.
Can I accept credit card payments remotely or on the go?
Yes. A virtual terminal lets you process credit cards from any device with an internet connection, which works well for phone orders, invoices, and service businesses. Mobile payment apps let you accept cards on the go from your phone or tablet. Either option also doubles as a solid backup if your main POS or terminal ever goes down.
