Antique-mall software and card processing: choose the right setup
Keep your existing processor or review Vintique Partner Payments. Compare the full cost and the work at the counter before choosing your mall's payment setup.
Updated September 19, 2026: this guide now covers both payment choices. Earlier wording described only the standalone-terminal workflow.
Two ways to take cards with Vintique
Vintique Partner Payments: connect checkout and processing
Vintique Partner Payments is preparing for launch. Its integrated workflow sends the checkout total to a supported reader and returns the result to the sale. Card sales, refunds and reconciliation belong with the same mall records that track each dealer’s share.
Review the pricing, fees and services in your merchant agreement before you sign. Your software subscription and any equipment costs are separate and reviewed up front. We will check the hardware and put the offer in writing before you decide.
Request a Vintique Partner Payments rate review. Merchant approval and setup are required before card processing starts.
Your own processor: keep the arrangement you know
You can move your software without moving your processing agreement. Take the card payment on your standalone terminal, then record the tender in Vintique. Handle card refunds with that processor and record the corresponding return in Vintique so the dealer and office records stay aligned.
Vintique adds no per-sale fee for this standalone setup. Your processor’s charges still apply. Keeping an existing terminal is different from connecting it to the register: confirm the exact model and integration before relying on automatic amounts or payment results.
Compare the full offer
Before switching, put these items next to your current agreement:
- Software: your Vintique plan and any other software you need.
- Processing: the percentage, per-transaction charge, covered payment types, recurring fees and any other charges in the written offer.
- Equipment: purchase or rental cost, the supported model and how it connects to the register.
- Daily work: entering amounts, checking approvals, processing returns and matching the day’s transactions to funding.
- The transition: approval, equipment setup, training and any obligations under your existing agreement.
Providers present pricing differently. Square’s pricing page separates payment types and plans. Helcim uses interchange-plus pricing. Clover describes software plans alongside payment processing and equipment. Check the current offer for your business; one headline percentage is not a like-for-like total-cost comparison.

Changing software does not have to change everything at once
Start your Vintique software trial with the processor you already use. Learn the register, bring over your dealer records and practice the daily close. You can review Vintique Partner Payments separately and choose a switch date after the replacement setup is approved and working.
For integrated processing, merchant details are collected through NMI’s hosted onboarding. A software signup or rate-review email does not activate processing.
Start with your mall’s numbers
Tell us your current processor, approximate monthly card volume, average sale and terminal model. We will review the full offer and the steps to move. Savings depend on your current agreement and payment mix; a review does not commit you to switching.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I keep my processor when I move to Vintique?
- Yes. Use your standalone terminal for the card payment and record the tender in Vintique. Your processor's fees and agreement still apply. Keeping a terminal does not automatically integrate it with the register.

- Vintique adds no per-sale fee when you use your own standalone terminal. Review the pricing, fees and services in your merchant agreement before you sign. Software and equipment costs are separate. Vintique Partner Payments is preparing for launch, and you can request a rate review now.
- Is integrated processing always more expensive?
- No. Compare the complete written offer against your current agreement and payment mix, including recurring fees and equipment. Also compare checkout, refunds and reconciliation. An advertised percentage alone does not determine the better fit.
