Drop-off, pick-up, and card-on-file — handled

Repeat customers deserve a real card-on-file solution

Dry cleaning runs on repeat customers, route deliveries, and card-on-file billing. Every swipe on a tip-heavy, mid-size ticket matters. But most cleaners are on a processor that treats card-on-file as a risk category, charges a downgrade penalty every time a card is keyed, and takes two days to fund. We set the account up for what cleaners actually do: secure tokenized card-on-file, clean route billing, and funding the next business day.

Recommended pricing model

The right program for this category

Primary recommendation

Cash Discount / Dual Pricing (0% processing)

Our first-choice program for this category.

If that's not a fit

Interchange-Plus if you'd rather not pass the fee

Honest pass-through alternative — no surprise markups.

Repeat card-on-file customers and mid-size tickets work well on cash discount. Interchange-plus is the next-best fit if you'd rather absorb the cost yourself.
