Get startedWhat a payment processing broker does for a Shoreline business
We're an independent merchant services broker, not a processor. We put banks and processors in competition for your Shoreline payment processing, so your credit card rates drop without changing how you take cards.
Processing is priced like used cars: published wholesale cost, invisible markup. A North City bistro and an Aurora retailer doing similar volume can be a point apart on rate and never know. We make processors bid for your account, then re-audit so it stays honest.
Aurora Avenue has been on a decade-long revival, with new clinics, grocers and restaurants opening along the corridor and light rail reshaping who walks in the door. Growth is the moment to get your processing right, before the volume scales up on a rate nobody ever negotiated.

Read them all →“We've really appreciated having a local presence that we can interact with in person and get in person assistance... Very competitive rates. I absolutely recommend Northwest Payment Brokers!”
“Drew came out for the initial visit and helped with the setup, walking us through the entire process with ease. We're saving money with lower fees while getting top-notch service.”
“They made switching our payment processing incredibly easy. I needed a mobile solution that just works... It's rare to find a payment broker that actually cares about your bottom line.”
A Shoreline restaurant doing $55K a month at a 3% effective rate hands its processor about $19,800 a year. On dual pricing, most of that stays in the business.
How dual pricing works →Shoreline questions, answered
Are you local to Shoreline?
We're based in Federal Way and work the metro in person and by upload. You get a real broker, not a national call center.
We're growing fast. When should we review pricing?
Now. Growth is exactly when a bad rate starts costing real money, because it scales with your volume. Lock in a better deal before the next jump.
Is dual pricing legal in Shoreline?
Yes, statewide. We configure compliant signage, register flow and receipts from day one.
What should a Shoreline business pay to take cards?
Effective rate is total fees over card volume. Healthy merchants land 2 to 2.5% traditional, or near 0% card cost on dual pricing. Over 2.5%, you're overpaying.
What does the rate analysis cost?
Nothing. One recent statement, read line by line: your real effective rate, the junk fees, and the number we'd bid for your volume. If your deal is already good, we say so.
It starts with one statement.
We just need to see one recent statement. Upload it right here, or we'll swing by your Shoreline business and grab it in person. One or the other, and the read is free.
