Credit Card Processing & POS Systems for Hawaii Businesses
Inter-island installation across Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Hawaii Island. $0 upfront hardware, multi-currency tourist-economy POS, and bilingual EN / JA support.
Hawaii is geographically remote. Our infrastructure isn't.
Hawaii's economy runs on tourism (10M+ visitors per year, mostly from the US mainland and Asia) and an island-wide network of locally owned restaurants, retail, and hospitality. Merchant Solutions Corp serves more than 200 Hawaii merchants — from Waikiki resort restaurants to North Shore food trucks to Kauai farm stands.
Hawaii merchants face unique challenges — high inter-island shipping costs, multi-currency tourist demand (Japanese yen, Korean won, Chinese yuan), and a state-specific 4-4.5% GET (General Excise Tax) instead of standard sales tax. Our Clover and Square configurations handle GET calculation, multi-currency display, and HI Plate Lunch tip-pooling rules.
Hawaii merchants run the full stack: Clover Station Duo in resort restaurants, Clover Flex for North Shore and Hanalei food trucks, dual pricing for fee-conscious independents, and ACH processing for inter-island B2B and timeshare property managers.

Honolulu Payment Processing FAQ
Can you handle Hawaii's 4-4.5% GET (General Excise Tax)?
Yes. Hawaii uses GET instead of sales tax, and the rate varies by county (4% statewide + 0.5% county surcharge in Honolulu). We pre-configure your Clover or Square POS for compliant GET calculation.
Do you install POS systems on outer islands (Maui, Kauai, Big Island)?
Yes. We dispatch certified install partners to all major Hawaiian islands — typically with 7-10 business day turnaround on outer islands due to shipping logistics.
Can you support multi-currency display for Japanese and Korean tourists?
Yes. Clover and Square support multi-currency display for customer-facing screens, plus multilingual receipts in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and English.
Is dual pricing legal in Hawaii?
Yes. Hawaii permits cash discount and dual pricing at the point of sale. We handle compliant signage and Clover/Dejavoo configuration.
Do you serve Hawaii vacation rental and timeshare property managers?
Yes. Property managers get virtual-terminal billing, recurring deposits, and split-disbursement payouts to multiple property owners — common across Maui and Kauai.
How fast can you install a POS in Hawaii?
Oahu merchants are typically live in 5-7 business days. Maui, Kauai, and Big Island installs run 7-10 days.
