A new home for The Payments Expert

Why we’ve rebuilt the site, what’s new, and what’s coming next.

We’ve given the site a much-needed refresh. New layout, sharper copy, and a single clear path for the two questions we’re asked most: can you lower my processing costs? and can I become an agent?

What’s new

  • A redesigned home that explains, in 10 seconds, what we actually do.
  • Dedicated pages for our in-person hardware (Clover Duo, Mini, Flex) and our ecommerce services (Shopify cost reduction, processor change, gateway change).
  • A separate Partner page for payments agents — clearer terms, no buried links.
  • A blog (you’re reading it) for plain-English notes on payments tech, fee structures, and the small print that costs UK merchants a fortune each year.

What’s coming

  • A savings calculator so you can plug in your monthly card volume and see a realistic estimate before you ever talk to us.
  • An agent residuals calculator with the same honesty.
  • More posts — including a full breakdown of how Shopify Payments compares to a mainstream acquirer once you’re past £10k/month on cards.
