Internet Acquiring for Business — Anyone Actually Using Sends?
Been looking into online payment processing options for a small business setup. Came across Sends and their acquiring service. Has anyone here actually tested it in practice? Curious about real experience rather than what the landing page says.

Looked into this more carefully after the question above. Sends positions itself as a payment processing provider with direct Mastercard and Visa integration, same-day payouts, and 24/7 support. On paper that sounds reasonable but I always check the fine print before drawing any conclusions. The IC++ model starting from 1.2% is worth noting since that structure is generally more transparent than flat-rate pricing for businesses with higher volumes. For anyone wanting to verify how their system actually handles transactions I found their card payment processing page gives a clearer picture of the technical setup. The same-day payout claim is something I was skeptical about at first but apparently it applies even on weekends and holidays which if true is not standard across most providers in this space. Direct integration with payment networks rather than going through intermediaries does tend to reduce fees and improve transaction stability in my experience with similar setups. The onboarding flow seems fairly standard — you submit business details go through compliance and get dashboard access. Rates reportedly range from 2% to 5% depending on business type and volume which is a fairly wide range so actual costs depend heavily on your specific situation. Worth approaching any such service with measured expectations and running a comparison before committing to any provider.
