Credit Card Processing & POS Systems for Philadelphia Businesses
Cheesesteak, sports-arena, and Center City-tested installation across Greater Philadelphia. $0 upfront hardware and same-week activation.
Philly is a hospitality and university powerhouse. We support both.
Philadelphia is the 6th largest US city, home to Penn, Drexel, and Temple universities, the historic Reading Terminal Market, and one of the densest sports-arena clusters in America (Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, Wells Fargo Center). Merchant Solutions Corp installs Clover, Square, and Dejavoo systems across Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester counties.
Pennsylvania has unique payment quirks — sales tax exemptions on clothing and groceries, BYOB restaurants requiring corkage line items, and complex tip-pooling rules. Our Clover and Dejavoo configurations handle PA-specific tax categories, alcohol-restricted POS modes, and seasonal-staff payroll integration for Penn / Drexel / Temple-adjacent businesses.
Philly merchants run the full stack: Clover Station Duo in Center City fine dining, Clover Flex for Pat's and Geno's and Reading Terminal Market vendors, dual pricing at South Philly cheesesteak shops, and ACH processing for B2B Schuylkill / Conshohocken corporate corridors.

Philadelphia Payment Processing FAQ
Can you handle Pennsylvania sales-tax exemptions for clothing and groceries?
Yes. PA exempts clothing and most groceries from sales tax. We pre-configure Clover and Square POS to track exempt categories so your accountant doesn't have to fix it after the fact.
Is dual pricing legal in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Pennsylvania permits cash discount and dual pricing programs at the point of sale. We handle compliant signage and Clover/Dejavoo configuration.
Do you support BYOB restaurants with corkage line items?
Yes. Many Philly BYOB restaurants run corkage fees as separate POS line items. We pre-configure this on Clover and Square so your reporting separates food, beverage, and corkage revenue.
Can you support sports-arena and venue vendors?
Yes. We provision short-term merchant accounts for Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field, and Wells Fargo Center vendors needing event-day processing.
Do you support multilingual staff in South Philly and Chinatown?
Yes. Clover and Square support Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese — common for South Philly Italian Market and Chinatown restaurants.
How fast can you install a POS in Philadelphia?
Most Philly-area merchants are live in 5-7 business days. We dispatch installers from depots in Center City, King of Prussia, and Cherry Hill (NJ).
