Overview
Payline Data provides omnichannel payment processing for businesses of all sizes, including in-person POS, online gateways (Payline Connect) with ACH, a virtual terminal, and mobile options. It uses a subscription-based, interchange-plus pricing model with no long-term contracts, charging monthly fees plus transaction fees. The company supports nonprofits and high-risk merchants (via SMB Global) and integrates with major POS systems, retaining its brand after being acquired by Pineapple Payments in 2017. Its goal is to help merchants securely accept payments across channels with transparent pricing and scalable tools to support growth.
