Custom Payments LLC is a family-run merchant services company located at 220 Sugartown Rd in Devon, Pennsylvania. The business is led by owner Robert Staschak, who has worked in the payments industry since 2002. The company provides credit card processing, point-of-sale systems and payment hardware, ACH bank-debit processing, recurring and automated billing setups, mobile acceptance, invoicing support, and general guidance on how money moves from a customer's payment through to a business bank account.
The company works primarily with independent operators: restaurants, retail shops, contractors, salons, medical practices, nonprofits, property managers, and business-to-business firms that invoice other companies. Alongside payment processing, Custom Payments helps established businesses nationwide review alternative funding options, a service line that is kept deliberately separate from the processing side of the business.
Service Area
Custom Payments serves Philadelphia, the Main Line, Chester County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and the surrounding communities of Southeastern Pennsylvania as its primary territory. Coverage also extends into New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. The Devon location allows for on-site visits across much of this region, which matters for merchants who want someone physically present during terminal installation or staff training rather than a shipped box and a phone number.
Business funding consultations are handled nationwide, subject to provider, applicant, and state-specific requirements.
Credit Card Processing
The company supports card-present, keyed, phone, online, and mobile acceptance. What distinguishes the approach is the emphasis on written proposals rather than quoted headline rates. A proposal from Custom Payments is intended to document the components that actually determine a merchant's monthly cost:
- Interchange and card-network costs, separated from processor margin
- Fixed monthly and annual account fees
- Software, gateway, and platform charges
- Equipment ownership versus rental or lease terms
- Who is responsible for support and PCI-related obligations
- Settlement and funding timing, including next-day funding availability
- Cancellation and contract-term language
When proposed, processor margin terms are presented as locked so the merchant can see what portion of the cost is within the processor's control and what portion is not. This framing is useful for business owners who have previously been quoted a low percentage that did not reflect the full picture.
Free Merchant Statement Review
One of the company's most-used services is a free, no-obligation merchant statement review. Robert Staschak personally reviews submitted statements and organizes the findings into questions a business owner can ask any provider, including their current one. The review addresses effective processing rates, processor markup, monthly and annual charges, PCI compliance responsibilities, equipment and software costs, funding schedules, and contract terms.
The review does not require switching providers. Business owners sometimes use it simply to understand a statement they have been paying without fully reading, or to confirm that an existing arrangement is reasonable.
POS Systems and Payment Equipment
Custom Payments supplies and configures countertop terminals, wireless and mobile devices, receipt printers, barcode scanners, customer-facing displays, and cash drawers. Configurations are built around the workflow of the specific business type, with restaurant, retail, contractor, and salon setups handled differently from one another.
Local installation and staff training are included, and equipment replacement terms are explained in writing before a merchant commits. A free terminal is available on qualifying programs.
ACH, Recurring Billing, and Invoicing
For businesses that collect dues, invoices, or large B2B receivables, ACH bank-debit processing is often less expensive than card acceptance. Custom Payments sets up ACH workflows for association dues, property-management collections, membership billing, and invoice payments, and walks merchants through authorization capture, submission cutoffs, settlement timing, return and exception handling, and reconciliation responsibilities.
Automated recurring billing is a related specialty. The company configures scheduled debits, card-on-file arrangements, payment links, customer reminders, and failed-payment notifications for contractors, HVAC companies, property managers, medical practices, nonprofits, and membership organizations. The setup review covers how authorization records are stored, how amount and date changes are handled, how cancellations are processed, and what happens when a payment fails.
EDGE Cash Discount and Dual-Pricing Program
The EDGE program is a customer-pricing model that Custom Payments evaluates alongside traditional processing rather than presenting as a default. Configuration depends on how a business communicates pricing to customers, how the POS is set up, card-brand requirements, and applicable state rules.
Software Integration and Processor Comparison
Custom Payments provides integration guidance for QuickBooks and other accounting platforms, as well as CRM, scheduling, inventory, and property-management software. The guidance covers user permissions, sync behavior, deposit matching, refund handling, and export testing performed before any change goes live.
The company also offers side-by-side comparisons for businesses currently using Square, Stripe, Toast, or Clover. These comparisons look at processing costs, monthly fees, hardware, software, funding expectations, support availability, and contract terms, so a merchant can see where an existing platform is competitive and where it is not.
Business Funding Options
Separately from processing, Custom Payments helps established businesses explore alternative funding. Options reviewed include:
- Working capital financing for payroll, inventory, materials, marketing, seasonal expenses, and cash-flow timing gaps
- Business lines of credit, compared on draw terms, renewal provisions, fees, and total cost
- Equipment financing for vehicles, machinery, and restaurant, medical, construction, or technology equipment, including collateral, guarantees, and prepayment language
- Term financing for expansion, renovation, or acquisition, compared on total repayment, payment frequency, duration, and origination fees
- Revenue-based financing, reviewed for payment calculation methods, reconciliation provisions, estimated duration, and total cost
- Merchant cash advances, explained as a purchase of future receivables rather than a traditional loan, with attention to amount advanced, purchased amount, collection method, and cash-flow impact
Approval and pricing are not guaranteed, and availability is subject to provider, applicant, and state requirements. Payment processing and business funding are treated as separate decisions with separate written terms and disclosures.
Installation, Training, and Support
On-site configuration, system testing, and staff training are handled locally from Devon. Training covers receipt settings, refunds, dispute handling, reporting, and daily reconciliation, and is completed before a change date is selected. Merchants have a direct escalation path to the owner rather than a general support queue.
