Coastal Pay is a true dual pricing payment processor that lets you post a clear cash price and card price, then keep more of every sale. Our dual pricing program is built to meet card-brand and state rules, while our next-generation gateway, 2,000+ integrations, and instant approvals make switching simple for growing businesses.

The short answer is yes, integrations matter, but not in the way most comparison charts suggest. What really counts is whether your payment gateway has deep, reliable connections to the specific POS, e-commerce, ERP, and CRM tools you already run, and whether its API can support where your business is heading next.
