How to Get Started

Getting paid should be simple, and getting set up is too. Fill out the onboarding form, verify your business, and connect your bank account. That's it đŸ™ŒđŸ»


Automatic Surcharging

Credit card processing fees can add up fast. Automatic surcharging lets you offset eligible processing costs by adding a surcharge to qualifying credit card payments.

  • Turn on automatic surcharging for credit card payments, and Pool Brain adds the fee to the customer's total for you, no manual math, no extra step on your end.

  • The rate is calculated automatically, so you don't have to figure it out yourself.

  • Applies to credit cards only.


New Payments, Payouts, and Reconciliation Reporting

Everything you need to track your money is now built right into Pool Brain:

  • Payments report: every individual transaction, with status, filtering, and export.

  • Payouts report: your current balance, next estimated payout, and full payout history.

  • Reconciliation report: an itemized breakdown of your payouts for bank reconciliation and merchant statements.

  • Disputes report: track and respond to chargebacks without leaving Pool Brain.

  • Tax documents: download your Form 1099-K directly from Pool Brain, if one is available for your account.
