Our tickets are small but there are a lot of them. Which part of the bill should we look at?

The per-transaction piece. On a small average ticket the flat few cents per sale can outweigh the percentage entirely, and a quote that only names a percentage is telling you half the story. Your effective rate counts both.

Can guides take cards out on the lake or on the ice?

Yes, on a handheld over cellular, and it is worth walking it out to where you actually fish before the season. Ask what the device does when it drops off the network mid-transaction, because that is the answer that matters at the landing.

Are we locked into a multi-year contract if we sign up here in Devils Lake?

No. There are no multi-year contracts, so you're never stuck with us. We aim to keep you by earning it.

What switching actually involves

Devils Lake does a genuinely large amount of retail trade for its population, which cuts both ways on a processing statement. High transaction counts mean anything mispriced has already been multiplied thousands of times before you notice it, and it also means there is real money in getting the structure right rather than shaving a tenth of a point off a rate.

Serving Devils Lake and the wider area

Devils Lake trades well above its size. The city holds around 7,100 people and more than 500 businesses, with close to 400 of them retail, restaurants and shops split between Main Street and the Highway 2 corridor. Retail trade is the single largest industry by employment at about 671 people, ahead of health care at 594 and education at 450, and the local economy employs nearly 4,000 in total. Altru Health System, Walmart and the public school system are among the largest employers.

The lake is the reason the retail base is that broad. The prairie lake produces walleye, northern pike and white bass in numbers that put it among the top five fishing lakes in the country, and it has been called the Perch Capital of the World long enough for the name to stick. Travel and tourism account for 967 jobs in Ramsey County, which is 11.4 percent of total county employment, and licensed guide services operate through the state Game and Fish Department.

That gives the town a particular commercial shape: a large number of modest card transactions moving through a lot of separate businesses, plus a guiding and outfitting layer that takes money away from any counter at all, out on the water or the ice. Both are worth pricing deliberately, because at this transaction count the per-sale charges matter as much as the percentage does.

Kept secure, every time

Your customers' card information is always protected. We follow PCI DSS security standards, the same rules the major card companies require, so every payment is handled safely.
