What Is Merchant Services?

Merchant services is the infrastructure that lets your business accept card payments — covering everything from the terminal or gateway that captures a transaction to the network routing, risk management, and settlement that puts funds in your bank account.

At KAJA Payments, we bundle all of that into one transparent relationship. You get competitive interchange-plus rates, next-day or same-day funding, and a dedicated support team available around the clock — on a month-to-month contract with no early termination fee and none of the hidden fees that frustrate merchants at other processors.

Whether you run a single storefront, a growing eCommerce business, or a multi-location enterprise, our platform scales with you and supports every channel you sell through.

Transparent Pricing Built for Your Business

Every KAJA quote starts with an analysis of your current processing costs so we can show you exactly what you'll save.

Interchange Rate

The wholesale cost set by card networks (Visa, Mastercard) and paid to the card-issuing bank. This rate is non-negotiable and applies to every processor.

Assessment Fee

A small per-transaction fee charged by the card networks for use of their payment infrastructure. Also non-negotiable and consistent across all processors.

Processor Markup

The fee added by the payment processor on top of interchange. This is the component that varies between processors and pricing models — and the one you're actually negotiating.

Interchange-Plus

You pay the actual wholesale interchange rate set by the card networks plus a fixed KAJA markup — nothing bundled, nothing hidden. Because the two components are listed separately, you have full visibility into the real cost of every transaction.

Interchange-plus is widely used by businesses that want a clear breakdown of what they're paying and why. It's well-suited for moderate-to-high volume merchants who want to understand their statement in detail.

  • Itemized view of interchange and markup on every transaction
  • Rates adjust naturally as your card mix changes
  • Well-suited for merchants with moderate-to-high volume

Flat Rate

A single fixed percentage applied to every transaction regardless of card type or network. Predictable and simple to understand — ideal for merchants just starting out or with very low monthly volumes.

Because the rate is blended, your effective cost per transaction won't vary based on card type or network. Flat-rate pricing works well for merchants who prefer consistency over granularity on their statements.

  • Easy to forecast monthly processing costs
  • Good fit for low-volume or early-stage merchants
  • Single rate applies regardless of card type

Tiered Pricing

A legacy model that sorts transactions into qualified, mid-qualified, and non-qualified tiers, each with a different rate. Widely used by traditional processors, but the least transparent option — most transactions end up in higher-cost tiers.

KAJA offers tiered pricing for merchants with specific legacy system or software requirements where this structure is the most practical fit.

  • Available for merchants requiring tiered structures
  • Familiar format for merchants switching from legacy processors
  • Rate buckets vary by card type and transaction method

Enterprise-Grade Protection for Every Transaction

KAJA Payments is built on the same security infrastructure trusted by the world's largest financial institutions.

PCI DSS Level 1 Certified The highest tier of PCI compliance — mandatory annual audit by a Qualified Security Assessor.
EMV & 3D Secure (3DS2) Chip-card and two-factor authentication to prevent card-present and card-not-present fraud.
Tokenization Cardholder data is replaced with a non-sensitive token so sensitive PAN data never touches your systems.
End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) Card data is encrypted at the point of capture and remains encrypted until it reaches the payment processor.
Real-Time Fraud Detection Machine-learning fraud scoring, velocity checks, and automatic alerts flag suspicious activity as it happens.

What This Means for Your Business

Security compliance is complex — KAJA simplifies it. We guide every merchant through their PCI self-assessment questionnaire at no additional charge and provide the tools needed to maintain a compliant environment year-round.

Because we handle encryption, tokenization, and fraud monitoring at the platform level, your team spends less time managing security requirements and more time focused on running the business.

  • Free PCI compliance guidance and SAQ support
  • Chargeback management tools and dispute assistance
  • Automatic network security updates and patches
  • Data breach cost protection for qualifying merchants

Frequently Asked Questions

What card types does KAJA Payments accept?
KAJA Payments accepts all major card brands — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover — via magstripe, EMV chip, and contactless NFC. We also support digital wallets including Apple Pay and Google Pay.
How quickly will I receive my funds?
Most merchants receive funds the next business day after batch close. Same-day funding is available for qualifying merchants based on volume and processing history.
Is there a long-term contract or early termination fee?
KAJA Payments uses month-to-month contracts with no early termination fee. Every processor requires a signed merchant agreement, but ours doesn't lock you in — you can cancel at any time without penalty.
What is interchange-plus pricing and why is it better?
Interchange-plus pricing passes the card networks' non-negotiable wholesale interchange rate directly to you, then adds a fixed, transparent KAJA markup. This is the most transparent pricing model in the industry. With flat-rate or tiered pricing, processors bundle their margin into an opaque blended rate — meaning you can't see what you're actually paying or compare it against alternatives. Interchange-plus is generally the best choice for merchants processing more than a few thousand dollars per month.
Does KAJA Payments support both online and in-person payments?
Yes. KAJA Payments supports retail POS terminals, mobile card readers, eCommerce checkout integrations, payment gateways, virtual terminals, hosted pay pages, and invoicing. All channels can be managed under a single merchant account.
What does PCI compliance mean for my business, and how does KAJA help?
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance means your payment environment meets the security requirements mandated by the card networks. KAJA Payments is a PCI DSS Level 1 certified processor. We guide every merchant through their Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) at no additional cost and do not charge PCI non-compliance fees for merchants who complete the process with our assistance.
Can I switch to KAJA Payments from my current processor?
Yes — and it's straightforward. Our onboarding team handles the merchant application, terminal or gateway setup, and any integration work. Most merchants are fully operational within 1–2 business days after approval. We'll also review your current contract to flag any termination fees before you make a decision.
