There is no information available on the Pacific Payment Systems website regarding pricing and fees. This is most likely because the fees are set by individual sales agents according to a merchant’s risk level, business size, payment processing volume, and credit card processing history, among other factors.
It is very likely that merchants can expect to receive standard industry pricing with some customization for their individual businesses.

Pacific Payment Systems offers a standard, three-year contract through First Data. These contracts typically have a built-in equipment lease from First Data Global Leasing. All merchants should receive a detailed list of prices on their merchant application document.
First Data requires merchants who choose to cancel their accounts early to pay an early termination fee, but the amount is not specified. Typically, this could cost as much as $500, or it could require the merchant to pay a percentage of the amount that is left on their contract.

Pacific Payment Systems does not indicate on the company website how long it might take to get set up to accept payments. Typically, there is an underwriting process that must take place, and this can take a few days.
Most merchants should find that they are able to begin processing payments very quickly if they operate ecommerce businesses or use payment gateways. Merchants in need of payment processing equipment may need to wait up to 10-14 days for their hardware to arrive, but should be able to accept payments as soon as it does.
Pacific Payment Systems has two contact forms on its website; one for new merchants inquiring about services, and one for merchants who have questions about their current services. The website states that a member of the customer service team will follow up with the merchant within 24 hours.
