Accepting Credit Cards Without Big Corporate Hassles: A Better Alternative for Your Business

"Choose a Payment Provider That Shares Your Values"

Starting a business is a journey filled with decisions, and one of the most important is how you will accept payments. If you're like many small business owners, you've probably considered options like Square, Stripe, PayPal, or other large corporate payment processors. While these companies offer convenience, they often come with high fees, rigid policies, and a lack of personal support.



At EPIC Merchant Systems, we believe in doing things differently. We built our business on the foundation of God, Family, and Country, and we partner with business owners who share those values. Through our EPIC ZERO program, we provide a real alternative to major corporate processors, offering better service, lower costs, and a personal relationship with a live human who actually cares about your business.


Why You Need a Merchant Account


Many new business owners assume that using a payment aggregator like Square or Stripe is the easiest way to start accepting credit cards. While these services work for some, they come with significant drawbacks:


  • Account Holds & Freezes: If their algorithm flags a transaction as suspicious, they can freeze your funds without warning, leaving you without access to your hard-earned revenue.
  • Lack of Personalized Support: When you need help, you’re stuck dealing with chatbots and call centers rather than a real person who understands your business.
  • Corporate Agendas: Many big payment providers have been known to deplatform businesses that don’t align with their politics or values.


With EPIC Merchant Systems, you don’t have to worry about any of that.


The EPIC ZERO Advantage: Keep More of Your Money, Get Real Support


We believe that accepting credit cards should be simple, affordable, and stress-free. Here’s how EPIC ZERO makes that happen:


1. Dual Pricing: Let Your Customers Cover the Fees


With our Dual Pricing program, business owners no longer have to absorb the cost of credit card processing fees. Customers who choose to pay with cash get a discounted price, while those who opt to use a credit card cover the processing fees themselves. This means more savings for your business without increasing your prices across the board.


2. Personalized Service – Talk to a Real Person


Tired of automated customer service? With EPIC Merchant Systems, you have a direct line to a real relationship manager who is there when you need them. No call centers, no bots—just real help from someone who knows your business.


3. Fast & Easy Setup


We make setting up a merchant account as painless as possible. We’ll guide you through every step so you can start accepting payments quickly without the headache.


4. Freedom to Do Business Your Way


Unlike big tech companies that can shut down accounts without explanation, we support businesses that align with American values. We believe in your right to run your business the way you see fit, without interference.


5. Scalability for Growth


Whether you’re a local shop, an e-commerce store, or a growing franchise, we have solutions that grow with you. Our services include in-person, mobile, and online payment processing so you can accept payments anytime, anywhere.
