Big business solutions for the small business community
Founded by a small business owner to look out for the small business owners.
Merchant Pay Direct was founded with a goal to provide easy and transparent payment and financing methods for small to midsize businesses. We understand how traditional banks operate and know how daunting the process can be to get financing, or even just understand the lingo. We made it our mission to create a one-stop-shop for small businesses because we know the long hours, countless sleepless nights and sacrifices you've made to get where you are today, and we believe that if we can help reduce the stresses you have now that we can grow together in the future.
We believe the alternative financing industry should be filled with merchants and business partners who feel their voices are heard and understood; no more one-sided relationships only benefiting those writing the contracts and selling the products. We have very strong relationships with our network of lending partners, but our priority is and always will be our reputation with our clients.
We're always looking for new and innovative ways to help make life easier for the small business community because we know the importance of small businesses. As we look into 2024, almost 30% of our customers say they are worried about the lack of financing options available. We want to make sure this doesn't become an even bigger problem, so we are constantly expanding our product line, making new relationships and educating our clients.

This is a long-term loan which is paid back with regular payments over time, including interest. It's an extremely flexible loan and the most common type of business loan. Interest rates can be fixed or variable, depending on the loan amount and what the capital will be used for. Most people are familiar with a traditional mortgage loan for a home or commercial property. Term loans work the same way.
Invoice financing is a way for businesses to borrow money against the amounts due from customers. Invoice financing helps businesses improve cash flow, pay employees and suppliers, and reinvest in operations and growth earlier than they could if they had to wait until their customers paid their balances in full.
Businesses that use a cash discount program offer a discount to customers who pay by cash or check instead of using a credit or debit card. Cash Discount pricing lets business owners enjoy the same profit margins on cash payments and non-cash payments by including processing fees into the price of sales made by customers paying by credit card.
Dual Pricing is not new. Many gas stations around the nation have been offering both cash and credit prices for well over a decade. It's similar to Cash Discounting in the sense that the merchant will profit the same as if the transaction was paid in cash. Dual Pricing is not for every business though. Contact us to find out if it's right for you.
Interchange-plus pricing (sometimes called cost-plus pricing) is a credit card processing rate model that separates costs into two elements: (1) interchange fees, and (2) processor markup. Interchange fees (and associated network assessment fees) are passed through to the issuing bank and credit card association, while the markup is retained by your provider.

There are two main kinds of ACH transfers:
eCheck is a digital version of a paper check and is also known as an electronic check, online check, internet check, and direct debit. eChecks use the Automated Clearing House (ACH) to direct debit from a customer’s checking account into a merchant’s business bank account, with the help of a payment processor.
eChecks are transmitted electronically, making transactions quicker, safer and easier. Read on for more info.
