Getting Started

Card payments are harder to get right in industries prone to chargebacks and high-risk transactions. This post walks you through how Tech Doctor works, step by step, and what it means for your business.

1. Sign up and get your terminals programmed

Contact us by phone, by email or through our website. Once you are on board, we program your mobile or countertop terminals for your business and set them up to work with the systems you already have. They support PIN-based transactions, which make chargebacks and fraud much less likely.

2. Buy or rent your terminals

You can buy each terminal for a one-time fee that includes programming, delivery and setup help. You own it outright, with no ongoing hardware costs. Or you can rent for a monthly fee per terminal, which keeps upfront costs low and suits short-term needs. Rentals include programming, delivery and ongoing support.

3. Choose Wi-Fi or cellular

If your business has a stable internet connection, run the terminals on your existing Wi-Fi at no extra data cost. If you are mobile, or your location’s Wi-Fi is unreliable, choose cellular and take payments anywhere with coverage, even when the Wi-Fi goes down.

4. Set your transaction fee

The fee is a flat amount per transaction, typically between $2.50 and $4.00. Where yours lands depends on your business’s risk level and how you operate, and we work it out with you.

5. Pass the fee on to your customers

Our system lets you charge the fee to your customers directly. Mention it at the point of sale; most customers accept a small fee when they are told about it up front. We provide signage templates and tips to help you explain it.

6. Learn how the system works

We show you what our card processors can and cannot do, and how the PIN requirement and other security features protect your business. Your staff get the same training, so they can help customers with confidence.

7. Get support

Our customer service line is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, for technical issues, questions about transactions and general help. You also get a dedicated account agent, one named person for your business, who handles adding terminals, changing services or cancelling, and deals with problems quickly so your business keeps running.

Why businesses choose us

PIN-based transactions mean fewer chargebacks. The fees are clear, and you can pass them on to customers. Customers get a checkout they can trust, which brings them back. You can change your services as your business grows, and our team is there when you need help.
