Merchant Solutions

Markets we Serve
First Data Independent Sales delivers far-reaching payment options, allowing you to accept credit cards for numerous types of businesses.

Gas stations and convenience stores
FDIS provides comprehensive payment solutions designed for independent gas stations and convenience stores that are no longer affiliated with the larger branded gas companies. We understand the intricacies of operating an independent gas station as well as the benefits they offer the marketplace.

Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs)
A payment revolution has exploded in the QSR market with many of the major chains accepting credit cards and PIN-secured and signature debit cards as payment. FDIS has a payment processing program to fit the needs of quick service restaurants so, accepting any form of payment is faster, easier and more convenient for your customers.

Wireless and Mobile
Today's businessperson isn't always in a store, especially if his or her business is a delivery, limousine or taxi service; a home repair contracting company; or participates in fairs. These merchants need business equipment that they can take with them on the road.

E-Commerce
To compete in today's aggressive online e-commerce environment, merchants need a fast and reliable payment processor they can trust to gain and maintain a competitive advantage.

Health and Beauty
The growth of health spas and beauty salons is not only bringing in more customers, it is bringing more of a demand for alternative payment options.
