Credit Card Processing & POS Systems for New Orleans Businesses
French Quarter, Mardi Gras, and Jazz Fest-tested installation across Greater New Orleans. $0 upfront hardware, hurricane-grade backup support, same-week activation.
New Orleans hospitality is unlike anywhere else. We meet it where it lives.
New Orleans has the densest concentration of restaurants per capita in the US, the largest event-driven tourist economy in the South, and a hospitality culture that runs 24/7 during festivals. Merchant Solutions Corp installs Clover, Square, and Dejavoo systems across Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany, and St. Bernard parishes.
NOLA merchants face challenges no other US city does — Mardi Gras week multiplies transaction volumes 8-10x, hurricane season requires hardware redundancy and backup power, and Bourbon Street's open-container hospitality requires walking-around POS units. We provision all of it.
NOLA merchants run the full stack: Clover Station Duo in white-tablecloth Creole restaurants, Clover Flex for Bourbon Street to-go cups and Jazz Fest vendor stalls, dual pricing for fee-conscious independents, and ACH processing for hotel-block billing and convention vendors.

New Orleans Payment Processing FAQ
Can you handle Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest peak volumes?
Yes. We provision surge-tolerant Clover and Dejavoo configurations for Mardi Gras week, Jazz Fest, French Quarter Festival, and other NOLA-specific peaks — with 24/7 emergency hardware swap.
Do you provide hurricane-season backup and redundancy?
Yes. Our NOLA hospitality clients use Clover and Dejavoo terminals with built-in 4G failover (works when broadband goes down), plus offline mode for storing transactions during outages and uploading once connectivity returns.
Is dual pricing legal in Louisiana?
Yes. Louisiana permits cash discount and dual pricing programs at the point of sale. We handle compliant signage and Clover/Dejavoo configuration.
Can you support Bourbon Street walking-POS for to-go cups?
Yes. Clover Flex handhelds with WiFi/4G connectivity are standard for Bourbon Street bars selling drinks to walking customers — proven across Mardi Gras and game-day weekends.
Do you serve short-term Ernest N. Morial Convention Center vendors?
Yes. We provision short-term merchant accounts for convention exhibitors needing 1-3 week processing windows with same-day funding.
