Savor Brands
It's time to take control of your bottom line!
- Elavon is a subsidiary of US Bank and utilizes state-of-the-art encryption technology, creating a secure digital wallet that safeguards your sensitive information.
- They handle all security measures around credit card processing, allowing you to focus on running your business and building loyal relationships with your customers.
- This is the base fee paid to credit card companies
- Traditional payment processors often bury interchange rates by charging a flat rate transaction fee, which generally mirrors the highest of rates, at times charging 2-3% higher than the true interchange rate plus an addition 10-30 cents per transaction! It shouldn’t be a one-size fits all model when it comes to transaction fees.
- With Interchange Plus pricing, you pay much closer to the true interchange rate plus + 10 cents. You will be able to see the exact interchange rate for each transaction (based on factors like card type and transaction method) along with our clearly defined margin for services.
- By working directly with Elavon, you'll obtain your own Merchant Identification Number (MID).
- This establishes your business as a legitimate entity with financial institutions, potentially improving your creditworthiness and opening doors to future loans for business growth. Over time, these advantages can translate into significant cost savings.

Come Verificare se il Tuo Imballaggio per Caffè Ha una Barriera in Alluminio
Non sei sicuro se il tuo imballaggio per caffè è in alluminio o meno? Effettua un test con la luce. La luce passerà attraverso se non è in alluminio. ESPOSIZIONE ALLA LUCE: L’esposizione alla luce UV è un’altra delle principali cause del deterioramento della qualità del caffè e dello sviluppo di sapori indesiderati. Sebbene il METPET offra una certa protezione dalla luce, non è altrettanto efficace come l’alluminio. Il materiale in alluminio è paragonabile a una lattina di metallo in termini di capacità di preservare il prodotto e proteggere dalla luce UV.
