Straight Answers.
No Runaround.
Payment processing can get confusing fast. These are the questions I hear most often from business owners, explained in plain English.
You don't need to understand payment processing before talking to me.
My job is to help make the options clear and build a solution around the way your business actually operates.
- No long-term contracts
- Free equipment options available
- Personal setup and ongoing support
- Free statement reviews
What Does It Cost?
The questions everyone wants answered first. Sensible people.
How much does it cost to switch to Fuerza?
The exact cost depends on your business, payment volume, equipment needs, and the processing structure that makes the most sense for you.
I review your current setup first so I can show you the numbers before you make a decision.
Can you help reduce or eliminate my processing fees?
In many cases, yes. I offer multiple pricing structures, including traditional processing and programs designed to shift some or all of the processing cost away from the business.
The right option depends on how your business operates, so I recommend reviewing your current statement before choosing a model.
Are there hidden fees?
My goal is to make your pricing clear before you get started. Any monthly platform costs, equipment-related charges, or processing costs should be discussed upfront.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Fuerza solutions are structured around month-to-month service rather than locking you into a lengthy processing agreement.
Can you review my current merchant statement?
Yes. Statement reviews are complimentary and come with no obligation.
I can break down your effective cost, identify unnecessary expenses, and compare your current setup with available alternatives.
Terminals & POS Systems
Because eventually somebody has to actually take the payment.
Do you provide free equipment?
Free equipment options are available for qualifying accounts. The exact device depends on your business needs and processing setup.
What kinds of payment equipment do you offer?
I offer countertop terminals, portable devices, cellular terminals, POS systems, and other payment hardware depending on your business needs.
Can I accept tap, chip, Apple Pay, and Google Pay?
Yes. Modern equipment can support contactless payments, chip cards, and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Can I take payments while I'm away from my business?
Yes. Portable and cellular-enabled devices are available for businesses that operate at events, job sites, pop-ups, deliveries, or multiple locations.
Can I keep my current equipment?
Sometimes. Compatibility depends on the device, processor, and software currently being used.
I can review what you already have and determine whether it makes sense to reuse it or upgrade.
More Than a Card Terminal
Modern businesses tend to need more than one plastic rectangle on a counter.
Can I accept payments online or remotely?
Yes. Virtual terminal and online payment options allow you to securely accept payments from a computer, tablet, or phone.
Can I send customers payment links?
Yes. Depending on your setup, you can send secure payment links through text message or email, and you may also use QR codes.
Do you offer invoicing?
Yes. Digital invoicing options are available for businesses that bill customers remotely or need an easier way to collect payment.
Can I set up recurring payments?
Yes. Recurring billing can be set up for memberships, repeat customers, service plans, subscriptions, and other ongoing payments.
Do you offer ACH payments?
ACH capabilities are available on supported solutions. Availability and activation timing can vary depending on the account and underwriting requirements.
Can your payment systems integrate with other business software?
Some solutions support integrations with accounting, reporting, e-commerce, and other business tools.
Because compatibility varies by platform, I recommend checking the exact software you currently use before selecting a solution.
What Happens After You Say Yes?
Ideally, considerably less chaos than you're imagining.
How quickly can I get set up?
Timing depends on underwriting, your business type, and the equipment or services being configured.
I stay involved throughout the process and keep you updated so you know what is happening next.
Will you help set up my equipment?
Yes. Setup and training are part of the relationship. I help make sure your equipment and payment tools are configured and that you understand how to use them.
What happens if I need help later?
You can contact me directly for support.
If something requires technical or processor-level assistance, I can help you navigate the issue instead of leaving you to figure it out alone.
Do you work with new businesses?
Yes. I work with both new and established businesses and can help build a payment setup from the ground up.
Do you only work with businesses in Los Angeles?
Fuerza is based in Los Angeles County and local support is a major part of how I operate, but remote payment solutions and account support may also be available for businesses outside the immediate area.
What do you need from me to get started?
If you're already processing payments, a recent merchant statement is usually the best place to start.
For a new business, I can start by learning how you plan to accept payments, your expected volume, and the tools you need.
Let's Look at the Actual Numbers.
Upload a recent processing statement and I'll personally break down what you're currently paying and identify potential opportunities to improve your setup.
