"My company has been using PayHawk for 3 years now and changing my credit card processing to them is one of the best decisions I've ever made. In 14 years, I have tried at least 7 different processors, with PayHawk being the last one I will ever use. They are very nice, GOOD people and extremely professional."

"My electrical company became a client of PayHawk back in September and I have nothing but great things to say. I have had the pleasure of working with Charlie Hopgood and Katie Pellish since day one. Katie has gone above and beyond to ensure all my questions have been answered promptly. Highly recommend!"

"Not only are their fees very reasonable, you can get in touch with the same customer representative every time you need assistance. We've dealt with many credit card processors over the years, and you do not have to call a 1-800 number or have long waits to get help."

"Amazing service and great prices. The staff is efficient and easily accessible. When I have an issue I have a quick response. Other merchant processors leave you with automated or ineffective, long hold time calls to international countries with people who don't know how to resolve your issue."

Questions About GoPayhawk

GoPayhawk is an independent sales organization (ISO) providing merchant services — credit and debit card processing, hardware, and payment tools — to small and medium businesses across the United States. Processing is powered by Elavon, a U.S. Bank subsidiary and one of the world's largest acquiring banks. GoPayhawk offers five pricing models and provides a dedicated account representative for every merchant.

GoPayhawk offers five pricing models: flat rate, interchange-plus, surcharging, cash discounting, and dual pricing. Interchange-plus is the most popular for businesses processing more than $10,000 per month. Surcharging, cash discounting, and dual pricing are zero-fee models that allow merchants to pass card processing costs to customers legally, reducing the merchant's effective processing cost to near zero.

GoPayhawk's rates depend on the pricing model and your business profile. Interchange-plus pricing combines the actual card network interchange rate with a fixed GoPayhawk margin, typically resulting in effective rates between 1.8% and 2.5% for most businesses. A free statement analysis compares your current rate against what you would pay with GoPayhawk using your actual processing history.

Most GoPayhawk merchant accounts are approved within 24 to 48 business hours. Once approved, hardware ships pre-configured and typically arrives within two to four business days. E-commerce and virtual terminal setups can go live within one business day after gateway configuration. Your current processor remains active during the transition so there is no gap in payment acceptance.

No. GoPayhawk operates month-to-month with no cancellation fees and no early termination penalties. Rate changes require 30 days written notice. Hardware is purchased outright — there are no equipment lease obligations. You can cancel at any time without penalty, subject to outstanding chargeback liability.

GoPayhawk works with small and medium businesses across retail, restaurants, e-commerce, healthcare, professional services, B2B, and more. GoPayhawk also serves high-risk businesses in specialized verticals that standard processors decline. Most businesses processing more than $5,000 per month benefit meaningfully from GoPayhawk's pricing models compared to flat-rate alternatives like Square or Stripe.

A free statement analysis is GoPayhawk's no-obligation review of your current processor's monthly statement. The team calculates your current effective rate and produces a side-by-side comparison showing what you would pay under GoPayhawk's pricing — using your real transaction volume, card mix, and average ticket. There is no cost, no commitment, and no sales pressure.
