Where we work in Shoreline
Shoreline is in the middle of a transit-driven boom. A North City wine bar and an Aurora clinic need different setups. We build for both.
North City
Places to eat, wine bars and local cafes on a strip you can walk. Fast terminals and dual pricing to guard your margin on each ticket.
How we set this up →Aurora Ave N corridor
Clinics, food stores and day to day shops on the main strip. A POS sized to keep check out fast.
How we set this up →Shoreline Place
Shops and food in a center that is being rebuilt. A setup that tracks stock, plus clean dual pricing.
How we set this up →Service & wellness studios
Salons, clinics and shops that book ahead. Card on file, billing that repeats, and dual pricing done right.
How we set this up →In another part of Shoreline? We cover it too.
Richmond Beach, Ridgecrest, the 15th Ave NE strip. If you take cards in Shoreline, the free statement read is yours.
Get startedWhat a broker does for a shop that takes cards in Shoreline
We are a broker, not a processor. We work for you, not for them. We make banks and processors bid against each other for your Shoreline account. Your card rates drop. The way you take cards does not change.
Card processing is priced like used cars. The wholesale cost is public. The markup on top is not. A North City bistro and an Aurora retailer can do the same volume and sit a point apart on rate. Neither would know. We make processors bid for your account. Then we check it again so the rate does not creep back up.
Aurora Avenue has been coming back for a decade. New clinics, grocers and places to eat keep opening along it. Light rail is changing who walks in the door. Growth is the time to get your processing right. Do it before the volume grows on a rate no one ever worked.

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% real rate hands its processor about $19,800 a year. On dual pricing, most of that stays in the shop.
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, all over the state. We set up the signs, the register steps and the receipts on 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 check cost?
Nothing. Send us one recent statement. We read it line by line. You get your real rate, the junk fees by name, and the number we would 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.
