Referral partner

Three steps, and only the first one is yours

No license, no quota, no training requirement: a short referral agreement and a W-9 so we can pay you.

1

You introduce

Send us the business name and a contact, or have the owner upload a statement on our rate review page and mention you.

2

We review and close

A person reads the statement, puts a meet-or-beat quote in writing, and walks the owner through the equipment offers. If staying put is the right answer, we say so.

3

You earn

When the account goes live, you get a residual every month it processes, with a report that shows each account you brought.

Accountants, CPAs, bookkeepersYou see the processing fees on the books every month, so you're the first to know when they're too high.
Web designers and agenciesEvery site needs ordering, payments, or a gift card page. Send the payments part to us and keep the client.
IT and phone providersYou're already behind the counter. The register is the next thing they ask you about.
Insurance, payroll, and real estateNew locations, new owners, and renewals are all moments a business picks a processor.
Chambers and associationsA member benefit that saves members money and comes with a person who shows up.
Banks and credit unionsFinancial institutions have their own programs. See those here.
Sales agent

You sell. We do everything after the signature.

Here's the line between your job and ours.

You
  • Find the merchant and have the conversation
  • Run the statement through the reader, or send it to us
  • Present the quote we put in writing
  • Get the application signed
  • Stay the merchant's person, if you want to be
EBS
  • Underwriting and boarding through our processing partners, Clover, or Square
  • Equipment ordering, configuration, menu or inventory build
  • Installation and staff training, in person or remote
  • Support in English and Spanish, with a phone that gets answered
  • Statements, PCI, chargebacks, and the renewal conversation
  • Your residual report, every month
The sales appEvery program, every equipment offer, every price, and the vendor links, on your phone.
The statement readerA merchant uploads a statement and sees their effective rate and junk fees in 30 seconds. We price every program against it before your call.
The calculatorDollar estimates for the merchant's volume and ticket size, with no rate card on the screen.
MaterialsLeave-behinds, the rate review link to send a merchant, and Spanish versions on request.
The perks

Built so partners get paid, stay informed, and never have to apologize for us

Residuals, monthly

Ongoing revenue on every account you bring, for as long as it processes. Activation bonuses on top. Ask for the schedule on the call.

Portfolio visibility

Your accounts and how they are doing, not a mystery check.

Free equipment to lead with

Every system has an offer with its terms printed on the page, so the conversation is easy and nothing comes back on you later.

We install and train

Our team sets up the counter and trains the crew, in person across Northern California and remotely beyond it.

A person answers

For you and for your merchant, in English and Spanish. Support is not a line item on anyone's statement.

Underwriting that moves

Accounts board through our processing partners, Clover, and Square. Square approves on the spot; most others within days.

Sales tools

A sales app with every program and offer, a statement reader that reads a statement in 30 seconds, a calculator, and co-branded materials on request.

Flexible, and it can change

Start as a referral partner, step up to selling when you are ready, or hand off the parts you do not want to run.

Why they stay

What your merchants get, which is why your residual lasts

Most merchants we win are leaving a processor that broke one of these. Every partner sells under the same promises, in writing.

✓Meet or beat, in writingEvery quote goes on paper with our name on it. If the statement review says stay put, we say so, and that merchant sends the next one.
✓Free equipment offers, or at our costEach system has a free equipment offer with the terms printed on its page. Anything else is sold at our cost. Nothing is leased.
✓Month to monthNo long contracts and no early termination fee on any processing program.
✓A team that shows upInstall, training, and support in English and Spanish, from people the merchant can call by name.
Getting started

From application to first account

1

Apply

The form on this page takes two minutes. We call within a business day to talk through which program fits.

2

Agreement and setup

A plain partner agreement, your compensation schedule, and access to the sales app and tools.

3

Training

The programs, the equipment offers, the statement reader, and how we board. Half a day, in person or on a call.

4

First accounts

Bring a statement or a name. We run the review together, you make the sale or the introduction, and the residual starts the month it processes.

FAQ

Partner questions

A residual on each account every month it processes, plus activation bonuses on new accounts. The schedule depends on the program and comes with the agreement; we do not publish the numbers on the site, but we will walk you through them on the first call.

Not for the referral program. For the sales agent program it helps, but what matters more is that business owners already trust you. We teach the programs, the equipment, and the statement review.

No exclusive territories. Our in-person install and support area is Northern California: the 209, Sacramento, Fresno, and the East Bay. Partners can bring accounts from anywhere; outside that area we install and train remotely.

Bring the statements. We review them the same way we review any merchant's, and if we can do better for the business, we move it and you earn on it here.

A text or an email. "Call Evident, ask for the rate review, mention my name" is enough. We take it from there and keep you posted.

Then the review says so and nobody switches. We would rather tell your client to stay put than move them to something that isn't better, because your name is on the introduction.

Monthly, on the prior month's processing, with a report that shows each account. One-time bonuses on certain products are on top. The exact day and the schedule are in the agreement.

Square approves instantly. Clover and our other processing accounts usually board within a few business days once the application and documents are in. We tell you when something is holding one up.

No. Processing alone is fine. Most agents end up selling equipment because the merchant asks, and the free offers make it an easy conversation.

Yes. Referral partners can step up to selling with a phone call, and the accounts they referred come with them.

Yes, and it's one of the best fits: a member benefit with a local team behind it. Call and we'll work out the details with you.

Financial institutions have their own programs: referral, hybrid, and agent bank. See the banks and credit unions page.
