For businesses that take cards at a counter
Stop overpaying to take cards.
We built Yew because the processor was the hardest part of running a counter. Send us your statement and we show you, in writing, what you pay today and what you would pay with us.
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Installed in person in San Francisco.

One terminal on the counter. Nothing else to buy.
The PAX A80 is a countertop card terminal with a built-in receipt printer. It takes tap, chip and swipe, connects over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and prints the customer and merchant copies right at the counter.
It arrives set up for your business, and we plug it in with you.
The A80 is our standard. If your counter needs something else, we also set up other PAX terminals, like the A920 handheld.

Every card, at the counter
Tap, chip and swipe on one device. The receipt prints right there, customer copy and merchant copy, so nobody waits on an email.
The owner view, on your phone
Transactions, deposits, disputes and reports for your business, on the phone you already carry. Check the day from the counter, the car or home.
Practice before the first real card
Demo mode lets your front desk run practice transactions before a customer is standing there. We switch it off together on install day.
Installed by a person
We bring the terminal to your business, connect it to your network, pair it to your account, run a live transaction and walk the front desk through it.
Fleet billing, if you need it
If you service vehicles for other companies, the fleet portal handles service, billing and invoicing for each commercial account. Part of the product, not an add-on.
Three steps, and we do two of them with you.
No online signup, no call center, no box that shows up with a manual.
Most counter problems are a cable, a Wi-Fi password, or not knowing who to call. Installing it ourselves means we have stood at your counter before anything goes wrong.
We talk
At your counter or by email. Bring your current processing statement. We look at what you pay today and what it would cost to switch, and tell you plainly whether it makes sense.
We install
We bring the terminal to your business, connect it to your network, pair it to your account and run a live transaction with you.
You take cards
From the first real transaction, support is one email to the person who set it up.
Quoted for your business, in person.
Card processing runs through a partner processor, and what you pay depends on your volume and the cards you see. So we do not print a number here that would be wrong for you.
We do the math on your own statement, not on a rate sheet: what you pay now, what you would pay with us, and what it costs to leave. Then we put the quote in writing before anything is installed.

Most owners have never had their processing statement explained to them. We read yours and write back with what it says.
No obligation. Nothing gets installed because you asked.

You get a written answer
A short comparison, in plain numbers from your own statement, plus what leaving your current provider would cost. If staying put is the better deal, we say so.

What owners ask first.
What is Yew Payments?
A countertop card terminal, the software behind it, and in-person setup and support. You take tap, chip and swipe at the counter, receipts print from the terminal, and you see transactions, deposits, disputes and reports on your phone.
What does it cost?
Pricing is quoted for your business, in person. Card processing runs through a partner processor and what you pay depends on your volume and card mix, so we look at your current statement and give you a written quote rather than a number that would be wrong for you.
What should I have ready for the first conversation?
Your most recent processing statement. We compare what you pay now with what you would pay with us, including what it would cost to leave your current provider, and tell you plainly whether switching makes sense.
I am still under contract with my current processor.
Bring the contract along with the statement. We read the termination terms with you and tell you whether switching makes sense now or at renewal. Sometimes the honest answer is to wait.
What terminal is it? Can I use a different one?
Our standard is the PAX A80 countertop terminal with a built-in receipt printer. It takes tap, chip and swipe and connects over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. If your counter needs something else, we also set up other PAX terminals, like the A920 handheld.
Does it need Wi-Fi?
It needs an internet connection, over Ethernet or Wi-Fi. We connect it to your network during the install and check that it holds.
Can I try it before I decide?
Yes. We bring the terminal to your counter and run a transaction with you. The terminal also has a demo mode, so your front desk can practice before the first real card.
Who processes the cards?
A partner processor handles the card processing. Yew builds and installs the terminal software and the owner view around it.
Which businesses is this for?
Businesses that take cards at a counter, in and around San Francisco. We install and support it in person, so that is where we work.
I bill commercial fleets. Does this cover that?
Yes. Yew Payments includes a fleet portal for service, billing and invoicing for commercial fleet accounts.
Who do I contact when something breaks?
Andy, by email. Support is one person who knows your business and your setup, not a call center.
Talk to Andy.
One email reaches the person who built it. We come by your business, look at how you take payment today and give you a straight answer.
