For anyone with a sales background or a passion for the payments industry, SMG is the ideal partner program. There are dozens of reasons to partner with us, but don’t just take our word for it. Here are some of the top reasons that we were given when we asked our partner participants why they chose us and why they continue to work with our highly lucrative program.

Sales Partner Portal

With our industry leading sales partner portal, you'll have access to online enrollment, training sessions, marketing materials, and you'll always be ahead of the game with the latest news and promotions.

Alerts

Stay up-to-date on merchant issues and their resolutions via automated emails and text messages that include a detailed ticket number describing what the merchant’s concern was and how it was resolved.

Registered DBA Program

With our program, you'll be able to market under your own brand, without paying costly fees! Your brand will be seen on the partner portal, marketing communications, merchant statements, and more.

Free Equipment for Your Merchants

Selling businesses on a new processing plan is much easier when you are able to effortlessly jump over the hurdle of the cost of the equipment. With this program, you can offer your clients free POS terminal equipment that they will need for their processing provider change. This lowers the barrier to switching and creates a higher conversion rate for you.

Lifetime Residual Income

You will recieve 50-70% of residual income based on the pay structure you select. You will share income on every available revenue stream. With SMG, You Get a True Interchange Revenue Split. Unlike other merchant partner programs, there is no basis points off the top for BIN sponsorship or for what they call hidden losses. Our sales partners earn more residual income with our 50/50 partner program than you would with our competition who claim to offer a higher percentage because thier interchange cost (buy rate) is higher.

Large Signing Bonus

We offer a performance-based fast start bonus that is payable for anyone that onboards more than the standard threshold of clients in the first 4 months. This program is designed to reward those experienced sales members that join our team and quickly learn how to sell this product. The bonus can reach up to $20,000, making it one of the most lucrative and competitive in the industry.

Profitability Based Bonuses

We will look at how much profit is generated on the account after they have been processing for one month and you earn 14 times of the total profit. Example: If we retain $100 in residuals in that month, the bonus would be 14 x $100 or $1400. You would have already been paid $600, so we would pay you an additional $800 on that account. This bonus is capped at a max of $5,000 per merchant per location. With our Cash Discount Program it is easier than ever to earn huge bonuses with a 14x profitability bonus. This dual pricing model enables you to maximize your bonus at on almost every merchant processing over $50k.

EDGE Cash Discount Program

When you are selling merchant services, one of the best assets of any partner program is more rewards and incentive programs that save your client money. The cash discount program is one of the hottest new commodities in credit card processing, as it is designed to save the client thousands of dollars in credit card processing cost, instead passing on the fee to the consumer in a way that isn’t damaging to their own conversion rate and revenue. We offer this program to our clients and make it easy to understand and present for our sales partners.

Super Fast Approvals

Sign up merchants quickly with the best online merchant application in the business. Select sales partners and ISOs can even get merchants approved in as little as 5 minutes with our VIP Instant Approval Program!

Medical Benefits

With some sales jobs, you don’t even have the option for medical coverage. With the partner program, you’ll have the resources that you need to provide healthcare coverage to you and your family at an affordable rate. We take care of our own, and when you are in our program you will have access to these benefits.

We at Shaw Merchant Group have an awesome solution which we call Registered DBA.

• Executed addendum from you saying it’s OK for us to use your brand too.
• This program can run on our standard schedule A’s with bonus and free equipment and has no other obligations from you other than the standard agent agreement
• When we set up the DBA you will have access to EPX/BMO Harris for submitting merchants under your brand. If you use any other processor (Global/First Data) you will sell under the their brand name.
