FASTSIGNS franchise payments rollout
How do you scale integrated payments across a franchise system without losing local adoption?
A franchise payment program only works when network-level economics, software integration and individual franchisee experience all work together. FASTSIGNS needed a model that could use network scale while still making enrollment, integration and support practical for each location.
For franchise systems with a similar opportunity today, Swipesum combines Franchise Programs, Merchant Accounts, Cost Savings & Statement Audits, gateway and integration capabilities, plus Implementation Assistance and Interchange Optimization.
If your franchise system needs better economics, tighter software integration and a repeatable way to onboard locations, build the franchise payments plan with Swipesum.
The challenge
Why network scale alone does not create a successful franchise payments program
Swipesum had to understand location-level economics, align the payment solution with CoreBridge, create a repeatable enrollment process and provide the support required to keep adoption moving across independently operated locations.
Location-level economics
Hundreds of individual merchant statements had to be understood before network-wide savings could be quantified.
Integrated workflow
Payments needed to operate inside the CoreBridge environment rather than adding a separate process for franchisees.
Scalable adoption
The program needed onboarding and support that could handle dozens of new merchant accounts without losing the franchisee experience.
Implementation
How payment analysis, integration strategy and franchise rollout worked together
Analyze the network and improve the economics
Swipesum used location-level payment data and the scale of the franchise network to identify savings opportunities and improve the commercial structure.
- 350+ location payment analyses

Integrate, onboard and support franchisees
Swipesum then supported the operating side of the program, from applications and terminals to integrated card and ACH options and ongoing franchisee support.
