Transparency about our affiliate relationships

Our Affiliate Relationships

PaymentStackHQ participates in affiliate programs with various payment processors, including but not limited to Stripe, Square, PayPal, and others. This means we may earn a commission when you sign up for a payment processor through links on our website.

Important: This does not affect the price you pay for payment processing services. The commission is paid by the payment processor, not by you. You pay the same rates whether you sign up through our link or directly through the processor's website.

Our Commitment to Honest Reviews

Despite our affiliate relationships, we are committed to providing honest, unbiased reviews based on our actual experience with these payment processors. Our reviews are written from the perspective of:

  • A former Shift4 employee with 3 years of industry experience
  • A Revel Systems Marketing Lead Developer with marketing experience in restaurant payment systems
  • Someone with 20+ years of web development experience

We include both pros and cons in our reviews, and we recommend different processors for different use cases. Our goal is to help you find the best payment processor for your specific business needs, not to maximize our affiliate commissions.

How We Use Affiliate Links

When we recommend a payment processor, we may include affiliate links. These links:

  • Are clearly marked as affiliate links where possible
  • Do not affect the price you pay
  • Help support the operation of this website

You are always free to sign up directly with any payment processor without using our links. We provide direct links to processor websites so you can easily access them.

Our Editorial Independence

Our reviews and recommendations are based on our independent analysis and experience, not on affiliate commission rates. We may earn commissions from multiple processors, so we have no incentive to favor one over another based solely on commission rates.

We update our reviews regularly to reflect current pricing, features, and our ongoing experience with these processors. If a processor we previously recommended changes in ways that make it less suitable, we will update our review accordingly.
