FAQs

Software pricing is customized to your modules, locations, and workflow. Suede processing fees can be as low as 0% for eligible businesses. Your quote confirms the software cost, processing terms, and any other applicable fees.
Suede supports in-person, online, and phone payments. You can select more than one payment method in the application, and we will help you choose a setup for your business. The website's application sends an inquiry; it does not take a payment.
Yes. Suede has options for new and established businesses. Select NO if you do not currently accept cards, and choose Startup for monthly processing volume if you are just getting started.
There are four steps: whether you currently accept cards, how you want to accept payments, your monthly processing volume, and your business and contact details. The final step collects your business name, first and last name, phone number, and email. Review the contact notice before submitting; you will see an on-screen confirmation once it is sent.
