Merchant Types - Franchises & AssociationsTurn the combined volume of your locations or members into negotiating power - and a revenue stream for the parent organization.
By aggregating processing volume across all of your franchisees or members, AdvoCharge can negotiate rates no single location could reach on its own. We bring the relationships and the operating leverage; your organization gets one consistent, transparent program.
Pooled card volume unlocks pricing that individual locations or members could not negotiate alone.
A profit-sharing plan turns payment processing into a revenue line for the franchisor or association itself.
Consistent pricing, onboarding and support across the whole network - with one point of contact.
"They read our statement, found the markup our last processor buried, and switched us with zero downtime. The savings were exactly what they promised."
"The Advo100 program took our processing fees to zero. Setup was simple and our customers barely noticed the change."
"Switching to AdvoCharge was painless and our monthly statement finally makes sense. We are keeping more of every arrangement we sell."
"AdvoCharge understood our billing before we finished explaining it. Advo20 cut our processing costs and the support has been steady ever since."
"One agreement covered every location, and the combined-volume pricing beat anything a single store could reach. Onboarding a new site is now effortless."
"We were overpaying for years and never knew it. AdvoCharge showed us exactly where, in plain language, and the switch paid for itself in the first month."
"Their interchange-plus pricing held up under our finance team's review. No padded tiers, no surprises - just a transparent statement every month."
"Honest, straightforward, and they explain everything on one page. For our members it has been a genuinely better deal."
Short answers to the questions franchisors and association leaders ask most often when they evaluate a network program.
One master agreement covers the network. Each location gets its own merchant account, but pricing is negotiated on the combined card volume of every location - rates no single store could reach alone - with centralized reporting so the franchisor sees the whole network in one place.
Yes - the endorsed-provider model. Members get group-negotiated processing rates they could not get individually, the association strengthens its member value proposition, and the parent organization can participate in a revenue-share arrangement. AdvoCharge structures these programs with transparent interchange-plus pricing so the benefit is real, not cosmetic.
No. AdvoCharge is processor-agnostic - we select processors based on each operation's profile, and a network program does not require forcing every location onto identical hardware or a single platform. Participation in an association program is per-member and voluntary.
Under the master program, boarding a new location is a streamlined application rather than a from-scratch negotiation - the pricing schedule and program terms already exist. Most new locations are live within days.
Three things: consistent, transparent pricing across the network; consolidated reporting for oversight; and optionally a revenue-share that turns payment processing from a cost every location grumbles about into a contribution to the parent organization. We put the structure in writing before anyone signs.
Plain-language articles from the AdvoCharge team on what processing actually costs and how to pay less of it.
Negotiated rates are the headline of a franchise payments program; standardization is the part operators feel every day. Same terminals, same reporting, same day-one setup for every new location - what to centralize, what to leave local, and the playbook for getting there without a revolt.
