Recurring Billing
Subscriptions and payment plans that run on their own. Expired cards update automatically, so revenue doesn't stall.
Payments With Purpose
Swipe. Give. Impact.
Turn every swipe into ministry funding.
The BrightStar Impact Network is a purpose driven credit card processing program powered by BrightStar Merchant Services. This program turns everyday business transactions into automatic, recurring monthly donations, with zero cost that benefit nonprofit organizations.
Ministries ◆ K-12 Schools ◆ Universities ◆ Foundations ◆ Endowments ◆ Chambers of Commerce ◆ Community Groups ◆ Business Networks ◆ Athletic Leagues ◆ Booster Clubs ◆ Alumni Associations ◆
A meaningful portion of our profit
is donated to your cause every month.
No cost to anyone
The donation comes out of our margin, not your rate and not their budget. Nobody pays extra for this to work.
Recurring, not one-time
It arrives every month for as long as the account is open. Organizations can budget against it the way they budget rent.
Zero fundraising effort
No campaign, no appeal letter, no gala. The money moves because the business is open, not because someone asked.
The BrightStar network

Processing Revenue
Every month, without any action on your part, BrightStar donates a meaningful share of your account's processing profit directly to your designated organization.
Mission Gets Funded
Designated organizations receive a consistent, recurring monthly stream of donations, month after month, without any additional fundraising effort.
Everyone Wins
Businesses save money. Organizations gain financial stability. Communities grow stronger. Every transaction makes a positive impact.
Where business meets purpose.
For businesses
Stop overpaying on every transaction.
You are already paying processing fees. The only real question is whether any of that money does anything you care about on its way out the door.
- We match or beat your current rate — guaranteed, in writing
- A meaningful portion of the profit on your account is donated monthly in your name
- A story your customers actually want to hear
- Same terminals, same day-to-day, no interruption to your business
For organizations
Funding that shows up whether or not you ask.
Pledges lapse. Events cost money to run. This is a line of support that does not depend on a season, a campaign, or a volunteer with a spreadsheet.
- Passive monthly income with no donor solicitation
- Grows as more businesses in your community join
- Costs your organization nothing to participate
- Real relationships with the businesses that support you
