About TackleHQ
TackleHQ finds businesses a better card processing rate and charges only when it works.
Why we exist
Card fees are one of the largest costs an online business pays, and one of the few that almost nobody renegotiates. The rate you signed up on is usually the rate you are still paying, even after your sales have grown several times over.
A flat rate makes it hard to see what you are paying for, and switching feels like a technical project. On most modern store platforms it is not. What most businesses lack is the time, the market data and the negotiating experience to get a better deal. That is what we provide.
How we work it out
Your rate is simple arithmetic: what you paid in fees, as a share of what you sold. We compare it with what businesses of your size and sales mix actually pay, using our own anonymised benchmark of real rates, not published price lists.
When providers quote, we collect every fee, not just the headline rate. Each quote is converted to what you would pay on your own sales, so you compare offers on the money that leaves your account.
How we are paid
Our fee is three months of the savings we identify from the statement you submit, which is 25% of the first-year saving. We charge it only once you have switched and your new rate is live.
We bill it to your card over the first three months, so for those months the saving we identify pays our fee. From month four, you keep all of it.
If you do not switch, or the new provider does not approve your account, you pay nothing.
Who we are
Our team works on card payments costs and fraud for businesses and industry bodies. We know how providers price, how they assess a merchant, and what a strong application looks like.
You stay in control of the decision. Every offer comes back to you, and every decision to switch is yours.
