- Residual
- Ongoing monthly income you earn from a business you referred — paid every month for as long as they keep processing with Croft (standard Omega/Clover/gateway deals).
- Activation bonus
- A one-time $100 payment when a referred merchant processes its first $300 after signing. Not paid on Square ISV referrals.
- Performance tier
- Your residual rate increases when you produce more new active deals in a calendar month: 2+ = 50%, 8+ = 60%, 10+ = 80% plus a $1,000 monthly bonus.
- Card sales / month
- The total dollar amount a business runs on credit and debit cards each month. Bigger volume means a bigger residual.
- Dual pricing
- A pricing program where the shopper covers the card fee at checkout. Most small businesses use this.
- Interchange plus
- A pricing program where the business pays a small markup over the bank's wholesale cost. Common for larger accounts.
