Credit Card Processing & POS Systems for Austin Businesses
Tech-corridor and SXSW-tested installation across Greater Austin. $0 upfront hardware, no-state-income-tax-friendly POS, and same-week activation.
Austin runs on independent businesses and tech. We support both.
Austin is the live music capital of the world, the Texas tech corridor, and one of the fastest-growing food scenes in the US. Merchant Solutions Corp installs Clover, Square, and Dejavoo systems across Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties — from East Side food trucks to Domain corporate dining to South Congress boutiques.
Austin merchants face uniquely challenging seasonal swings — SXSW, ACL, F1 USGP, and UT football weekends multiply transaction volumes 4-6x. We provision surge-tolerant infrastructure, on-call replacement hardware, and short-term event vendor accounts.
Austin merchants run the full stack: Clover Station Duo in fine-dining, Clover Flex for tableside at TexMex spots and food trucks, dual pricing for fee-conscious independents (legal in TX), and ACH processing for tech-startup B2B retainers.
