It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English.
THE PROBLEM
The Processing Industry has been taken from you. Here is the Proof
What a business doing $30k monthly in card sales loses every year at a 2.5% processing rate.
Of small business owners report they do not fully understand their monthly processing statement.
Of Sidekick clients have access to zero-fee processing through the cash discount program
THE SOLUTION
Stop Absorbin the Fee. Here is How
The cash discount program. Legal in all 50 states. Available to every business Sidekick serves.
Gas stations have run this program for 40 years. You have seen the sign. Cash price. Card price. Two numbers. One simple disclosure. The customer who pays with cash gets a small discount. The customer who pays with a card pays the posted price, which already accounts for the processing cost.
The fee does not disappear. It shifts. Away from your profit margin and onto the transaction where it belongs.
Sidekick implements the full program for your business. The compliant signage. The POS configuration. The staff training. Everything required by Visa, Mastercard, and Discover network rules is handled before your first transaction runs. You do not figure this out alone.
Full Compliance
Every disclosure requirement is handled at setup. Your program is clean from day one.
Any Business Type
Restaurants. Salons. Medical offices. Gyms. Boutiques. E-commerce. If you take cards, Sidekick can implement it.
No Hidden Catch
The same program that kept gas station owners profitable for four decades. Now it works for you.
Clover Certified Partner
The POS System ThatRuns Your Business. Not Just your Register.

A local Sidekick technician comes to your location, configures everything, trains your team face to face, and leaves their direct number. Not a YouTube tutorial. Not a chatbot. A person who knows your system and answers when you call.

WHY SIDEKICK
Every Processor Makes Promises.Sidekick Makes It Simple.
The industry runs on complexity. Tiered pricing structures, early termination fees, monthly minimums, PCI non-compliance charges, and rate increases buried in letters most merchants never open. That complexity is not an accident. It is how processors protect their margin at your expense.
Sidekick removes the complexity. One local contact. One transparent agreement. One program that works from day one. What you are quoted is what you pay. If something breaks, someone answers the phone. If the program ever stops making sense for your business, you walk away without a penalty.
That is not a bold claim. That is the minimum standard every small business deserves from a payment partner.
No Contacts. Full Stop.
Month to month. Always. You stay because the service earns it every single month.

When your system goes down on a Friday night, you reach a person. Not a ticket. Not a bot.
Same Day Approval
Most merchants are approved the same day they apply. Start processing fast — not after a 5-day review.

No monthly minimums. No statement fees. No PCI surprises. What Sidekick quotes is what you pay.
