I should ask my credit union if they offer anything.

My company uses Braintree but they got bought out by PayPal after we started using, who I hate but not so much to migrate.

Service is good, but they are a pain in the ass and will hold funds if they see unusual activity, which has happened a couple times, but alway legit purchases.

Been hearing about Parallel Economy from Dan Bongino’s podcast. Dan is a stakeholder in the company and is a huge advocate of conservative’s having their own payment processing. He’s lived through the Parler debacle with Amazon Web Services and the Apple Store.

After seeing reports of the left going after 2000 Mules and attacking Rumble this week to silence 2000 Mules, it reinforces my thoughts not to give business to woke and censorship focused businesses.

The banks shutting down the accounts and fundraising of the truckers in Canada is another example of needing anti-woke payment processing.

I will check out Square and Parallel Economy as well. Thanks for the recommendation.

Parallel website shows 3% plus no monthly fees. Right now that looks pretty good.

Use Square (consulting), Stripe (firearms training/CCW classes), Clover (small c-store), and PayPal (Para’s fundraiser!). Like them all, pretty much the same at around 3%+.30/dip.

I used EMS Plus when I was doing gun shows. Similar to square but OK with guns.

Parallel Economy Payment Processing

They are a merchant service provider and work with a number of different processing gateways depending on your needs. They will work with some of the bigger ones like Authorize.net.

I have clients using PayRoc, who will determine a good gateway to use depending on how many transactions and amounts you do monthly.

Thanks for everyone's recommendations. I ended up going with EMS+. 2.25% plus flat rate $5/month and 0.30 per transaction. Last processor promised low rates, but they were not. A friend has been using EMS+, so hopefully there will be no hidden charges.

Well I was going with EMS+, but there were some delays, plus the system is tethered to your cell phone. So I started looking around.
My bank recommended Orbis, which is associated with them. However online reviews were horrible.

Finally signed up with Square. No monthly charges, very easy to work with, all your billing info is on their website, and no hidden charges.

I probably should have checked into Parallel Economy, but at this point of not having CC processing for three weeks I was pressed for time.

Might change to Parallel in the future, will see.
