Vehicle Wrap Shops Payment Guide
Use the calculator and industry workflow together before changing the payment counter.
Calculator formulas
Monthly card volume equals monthly collected revenue multiplied by the percentage paid by card. Current monthly processing cost equals that card volume multiplied by the effective rate. Annualized figures assume twelve identical months.
Processing cost as a share of profit equals monthly processing cost divided by the illustrative profit produced by the margin entered. The result is arithmetic, not a quote or savings promise.
Use the correct card volume
Count card deposits and card-paid final balances once. Exclude checks, ACH, financing proceeds, and invoices that have not been collected.
Compare complete proposals
Enter every remaining monthly cost and model the same payment mix, channels, transaction count, and refund activity. Review at least three representative statements before making a decision.
