Support Point Pleasant Beach Business Palermo's PayJunction

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

Palermo's PayJunction is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

We provide Credit Card Processing Services and a variety of Merchant Services to all types of businesses within the communities we serve. We are chamber members and have been in business for 10 years serving and helping business owners put more money back in their pockets where it belongs.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

Unfortunately the new coronavirus impacted our business a lot due to the shut down of non-essential businesses. If they are closed, they lose money and cannot take in store credit card payments.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

They can support us by spreading the word and letting other small business owners know we are open and can and will save them money on their credit card processing for their business and offer contactless payment options, free wireless terminal and will do a free Credit Card Analysis Report for them if they email us a recent Merchant Statement.

Do you have any words of encouragement for your community?

Stay positive and stay well. We will all get through this together! We are Jersey strong and resilient too. To our essential front line workers and volunteers, thank you for doing what you are still doing to serve our community. You’re amazing!

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

Yes, we are offering business owners a free Wireless Terminal ($895 value) for contactless payments that will help them accept delivery and mobile payments. Plus, we are offering payment options for their website so they can accept all card brands as payment and lastly, we will do a free Credit Card Analysis Report for them if they email us a recent Merchant Statement on their current rates and fees and will provide them with a guaranteed savings to help them recoup some money back.

Are there any other outstanding businesses in town you think deserve some community support?

There are so many great businesses in town! This is truly an amazing community. Some that come to mind in this town are Beach Bagel, Treasure Grove, Joey Tomato’s Pizza, Northeast Sign and Lighting and the Chamber of Commerce for helping all of us small businesses with community and networking outreach and assistance even during this pandemic.
