Payment Processing Built Around Your Business

From card terminals and point of sale to online checkout and invoicing, Copper State helps businesses run more efficiently.

Why Businesses Choose Copper State

Every business operates differently. We take the time to understand how yours runs, what you have in place, and where the cost is going before recommending anything. Our focus is long-term partnerships built on honest guidance and dependable support.

  • Transparent Pricing

    Your rate in writing, with no hidden fees and no surprise increases.

  • Equipment You Own

    Terminals purchased outright, never tied to a long-term lease.

  • Local Setup and Training

    We install at your location and train your team in person.

  • Dedicated Support

    Real people, real answers, from the team that set your account up.

All-in-One Platform

Flexible Payment Tools for Every Business Need

Whether you sell in-store, online, or on the go, everything lands in one place: one deposit, one rate, one report.

In-Person Payments

  • An all-in-one card terminal with a receipt printer

    Smart terminal

    Tap, chip and swipe, prints a receipt, and runs on wifi or its own cellular connection.

  • A countertop payment terminal

    Countertop and PIN pad

    Sits by the till and wires into what you already run. The workhorse for a busy counter.

  • A customer tapping a card on a handheld terminal

    Handheld

    Pocket-sized and quick. Tap and go at the door, on the truck, or at the job site.

  • A server taking a card payment at a restaurant table

    Pay at the table

    The card never leaves the customer's hand, and the tip prompt is on the screen they are already looking at.

Online and Invoicing

  • Payment links

    Text or email a link and get paid the same day. Nothing to install and nothing for you to host.

  • Invoicing and terms

    Send an invoice, store the card, and charge it on the date you agreed. Level 2 and 3 data where the card qualifies.

  • Online checkout

    A gateway that fits the cart you already run, or a hosted page if you would rather not touch code.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

What does it cost to switch?

Nothing to us. If you are inside a term with your current processor there may be an early termination fee on their side, which is exactly the sort of thing we will find in your statement and tell you about before you decide anything.

Do I have to lease the equipment?

No. Terminals are bought outright, and you own them. Equipment leases are the single most expensive thing in this industry and there is almost never a good reason to sign one.

How long does approval take?

Most straightforward businesses are approved in one to two business days. Higher-risk categories take longer and need more paperwork, and we will tell you which one you are before you start filling anything in.

Can I keep the point of sale I already have?

Often, yes. Plenty of systems will run on a different processor without changing anything the staff sees. Tell us what you run and we will check before recommending you replace it.

What happens if something breaks on a Saturday?

You call the number that set your account up. Card processing does not keep business hours, and neither does the support on it.
