California specifics

California's disclosure rules shape exactly how a surcharge may be presented, and the state's mobile-first service economy usually needs tap to pay on phone more than countertop hardware.

Why an agent, not a processor

One statement, every provider shopped

A processor's rep can only sell you their product. We are not tied to one bank, one platform or one price book.

Send us a recent statement. We read every line, work out your true effective rate, then take your profile to the processors, acquirers, gateways and POS vendors we work with and make them compete for it. You see what came back, including the deals we did not recommend and why.

If your current pricing is already good, we say so in writing and you keep the analysis. That happens on roughly one statement in eight.

California FAQ

Merchant services in California, answered

Yes — all 70+ communities listed on this page and everywhere else in California. Statement analysis, quoting, onboarding and support all run remotely, so a business in a small town gets the same pricing and the same named contact as one in Sacramento.

California's disclosure rules shape exactly how a surcharge may be presented, and the state's mobile-first service economy usually needs tap to pay on phone more than countertop hardware.

No. CELER Merchants is an independent agent and referral partner. We are not a bank, a processor or an acquirer. We take your statement to the providers we work with, make them compete, and bring you the best deal available for your profile. The provider you choose underwrites and settles the account; we set it up and support it.

Nothing. You pay the provider for processing, exactly as you do now. We are compensated by that provider out of the processing margin, and because we are paid the same way whichever provider you pick, we have no incentive to steer you.

Statement analysis inside 4 hours, quotes back from providers within one to two business days, approval usually same-day, and pre-programmed hardware shipped straight to you. Most merchants are live within 3-5 business days.

Every fee named in 4 hours. Or call now and we quote you on the spot.

Everyone else in this industry says twenty-four hours. We say four — and if that is still too slow, pick up the phone and get your numbers while you are on the call. No contract, nothing to cancel, no pressure.
