Serving Kapaa and its waterfront

Kapaa is the busiest town on Kauai's east side, the string of coast marketed as the Coconut Coast, and it's the island's most populous community. It began as a plantation town: a sugar company opened here in the 1870s and a pineapple cannery in 1913, making Kapaa the industrial center of east Kauai until the cannery closed in 1962 and tourism gradually took over.

The main road, Kuhio Highway, runs straight through, and along it sits Old Kapaa Town, a walkable stretch of restored early-twentieth-century wooden storefronts, now home to shops, galleries, coffee spots, and restaurants, including generations-old local names. Just outside the center, the paved coastal path Ke Ala Hele Makalae runs for miles along the shoreline, the family-friendly ocean pools of Lydgate Beach Park sit to the south, and the ridge of the Sleeping Giant rises behind town.

Kapaa serves both a real resident base and a steady stream of east-side visitors, with peaks around the Kauai Coconut Festival each October and the winter whale-watching months, and it hosts some of the island's largest farmers markets. Traffic on Kuhio Highway through town is a famous local headache, which makes quick, dependable checkout all the more valuable. For the shops, food spots, and markets of Old Kapaa, card systems that keep moving matter. We set up payments around how a busy Coconut Coast town actually works.

Questions about card processing in Kapaa

What can I expect to pay to take card payments?
It depends on your business and your volume, but we're always upfront. We show you exactly what you would pay, no surprise fees.
Do you make me sign a multi-year deal?
No. No multi-year deals. We earn your business every month.
Can I take payments on tours or at events?
Absolutely. We set up mobile and remote payment options built for tour operators, market vendors, and food sellers all over the east side.
Anything Hawaii businesses should know about fees or taxes?
Yes. Hawaii's General Excise Tax works differently than a normal sales tax, and there's a new law changing how card fees can be passed to customers. We keep you compliant and walk you through your options.

Safe payments on and off the water

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.
