ShopConnect Pro is a free Chrome extension that routes your payments through a cheaper processor. Same Jobber, Clio, Tekmetric - or any of the 300+ platforms we plug into. We just stop The Software Tax (the markup your software's bundled processor charges on top) from billing you. 200 operators. $40M/yr processed. Live in 48 hours.
Plugged into the software you already run
Most processors make you rip out the software you run your business on. We don't. ShopConnect Pro layers on top of Jobber, Housecall Pro, Clio, Tekmetric, and 300+ others. Your checkout, your invoices, and your team's day-to-day stay exactly the same. Only your processing bill changes. Don't see your platform? We can bridge to any web-based system.
Request integrationDrop in your monthly card volume and the software you run. We'll show you what The Software Tax is costing you today, and what your operator-grade rate would be.
Estimate only. Per-transaction fees (where applicable) not included - your actual savings may be higher.
For every supported platform, we know roughly what you're paying today. Jobber Payments charges 2.90%; Clio Payments charges 2.95%; HoneyBook charges 3.40%. The calculator multiplies your monthly card volume by that rate and shows the result as your current monthly cost.
Standard pricing assumes a typical 30% reduction at our processor - what most operators see when they move from a software-bundled rate to a direct interchange-plus relationship.
Dual pricing assumes you pass processing fees through to customers via surcharging or cash discounting - legal and supported in all 50 states (with rules that vary by card brand). Done correctly, this takes your net cost of card acceptance close to zero.
The numbers above are estimates. Your actual savings depend on ticket size, card mix, refund volume, and a few other variables we'd want to look at on a quick call. Send your last processing statement and we'll come back with a quote pinned to your real numbers within one business day.
Once a quarter we take a real merchant's processing statement and break it down in public. The rate they were quoted versus the rate they actually paid. The markup their software added on top. What ShopConnect would have routed it at instead.
We read the statement a business owner sent in. We show the headline rate, the real effective rate, and the dollar amount their software's processor charged on top. No editing, no spin.

Tier 1 is where we shine: a dedicated integration with full auto reconciliation, so payments post into your software the moment they settle. Tier 2 still routes through us; auto reconciliation is on the roadmap. Tier 3 is what's coming next and request.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most about ShopConnect Pro.
ShopConnect Pro is a browser extension and server side bridge that connects the business software you already run to a lower cost payment processor. We don't replace your software. We don't rebuild your checkout. We sit quietly between the two, route payments through better rails, and reconcile the result to the originating invoice automatically.
In practice that means three things:
We currently support 300 plus vertical software systems. The deepest integrations live on Tier 1 (full auto reconciliation). Tier 2 covers most of the rest with the same reconciliation outcome through our universal bridge. Tier 3 is the expansion list we're actively shipping integrations for.
Both programs are designed to offset your processing costs by passing them to the customer who chooses to pay by card. The difference is mostly mechanical, and the rules around them differ by state and by card brand.
Surcharging adds a small explicit fee on credit card transactions only (debit and prepaid cards are exempt). The surcharge has to be disclosed at the point of sale, capped at the processor's actual cost (and never above 3 percent), and registered with the card networks 30 days in advance.
Cash discounting works the other way around. The list price already includes the cost of card acceptance, and customers who pay in cash see a discount applied at checkout. There's no surcharge, technically, so the rules are simpler and it's allowed in all 50 states.
ShopConnect Pro supports both. We build the disclosures into the checkout, file the network registrations, run the math correctly so debit, prepaid, and refunds all behave the way they're supposed to, and stamp every charge with the right line items so your books stay clean.
When done correctly, surcharging or cash discounting can take a merchant's net cost of card acceptance close to zero.
Auto reconciliation means software, not staff, decides which payment matches which invoice. To do it well, a system needs three things: a reliable identifier on every transaction, write access to the source ledger, and rules for handling the messy edge cases (partial payments, refunds, surcharges, tips).
ShopConnect Pro is built on top of that exact pipeline. On Tier 1 integrations the bridge stamps every charge with the originating invoice ID, posts it the moment funding clears, and handles partial payments and refunds without breaking the link. On Tier 2 the universal bridge delivers the same reconciliation outcome while we ship the dedicated integration.
From your team's point of view, invoices simply mark themselves paid.
Send us a recent processing statement. We'll quote a custom rate in under 24 hours, with no obligation. Either we lower the fees you're paying today, or we set you up to pass them through to your customers via compliant surcharging - either way, The Captive Processor stops billing you on the spread.
