Eric Ashley114 days agoTo begin with Chris Del Grande took care and treated me like I was someone:)... Before working with Chris, however, I mentioned the initial negative on BBB about his own company..... Chris then instrumentally and systematically helped the merchant who remarked like that to receive everything even above and beyond what they expected, and the merchant reversed their initial negative into an honest to goodness and truthful positive about Valued Merchant Services which I thought was pure excellence. Needless to say I am now a Regional Account Manager with Valued Merchant Services, and the company consistently distributes knowledge that is exceptionally useful and very valuable that I can use to serve and help businesses achieve their purposes and streamline their processes. I feel honored to be a part of such an outstanding company. Thank you.Posted on Google
Jeff Glines114 days agoI’ve been in payments 21 years. Chris Del Grande at Valued Merchant Services is one of the few guys I’d send someone to without a second thought. No runaround — you call, he picks up, you get a straight answer. Fair on terms, nothing buried in the fine print. Easy to talk to, easy to do business with. If you’re looking at VMS, talk to Chris.Posted on Google
Christopher Adams II114 days agoWorking with Valued Merchant Services has been an incredible experience. From day one, I could tell this company is built differently. The leadership genuinely invests in its people, and I'm grateful for the opportunity the owner gave me to join the team as a sales agent & recruiter. What stands out most is that this company truly puts its customers first. They focus on building long-term relationships and providing real value instead of just chasing profits. That mindset carries through everything they do, and it's reflected in the amazing culture they've created. The team is phenomenal, the support is outstanding, and the opportunities for growth are real. If you're looking for a merchant services company you can trust—or a team you want to be a part of—I wholeheartedly recommend Valued Merchant Services. 10/10 experience. Easily a 5-star company well worth it's A+ BBB rating.Posted on Google

Valued Merchant Services Affiliate Program
Turn Your Audience and Business Connections Into an Income Opportunity That Can Keep Growing
Make introductions to business owners who could benefit from better payment processing, business technology, cost reviews and other solutions. VMS handles the conversations, recommendations and ongoing service. You can earn eligible referral commissions and build lifetime monthly residual income without becoming a full-time salesperson.
No VMS Joining Fees
No Selling Required
Online or Offline Referrals
Flexible Participation
Weekly Eligible Commissions
Lifetime Monthly Residuals
Know This First
A Referral Opportunity Built Around Relationships You Already Have
The VMS Affiliate Program is designed for people who have access to business owners but do not necessarily want to become sales agents, deliver presentations or manage merchant relationships.
1099 Independent Contractor
An independent affiliate arrangement,
not a W-2 employment position.
No Salary or Guaranteed Income
Earnings depend on qualifying introductions,
merchant activity and applicable compensation terms.
No Cost to Join
No VMS application fees, membership fees,
training charges or required investment.
No Merchant Sales Presentations
Our team handles consultations, rate reviews,
proposals and eligible merchant activation.
No Account Management
You do not have to provide ongoing technical
support or maintain the merchant's account.
Set Your Own Pace
Make introductions when opportunities arise,
without required shifts or weekly hours.
Online or Offline
Refer through business relationships,
audiences, content, networking or direct introductions.
No Required Referral Quotas
No ongoing production minimum simply
to participate as an independent affiliate.
Not an MLM
No required inventory, autoship,
starter purchase or paid membership.
The distinction is simple: an affiliate makes the
introduction, while VMS handles the business-service
conversation and subsequent merchant relationship.
Qualified referral payments and residual rights
follow the applicable affiliate agreement.
The Referral Journey
Make the Introduction. Let VMS Handle the Rest.
You do not have to become a payment-processing expert or close a sale. Your value comes from connecting the right people with a team equipped to help them.
1
Recognize a Potential Fit
Identify a business owner who may benefit
from lower costs, improved payment technology
or additional business solutions.
2
Make the Introduction
Introduce the business through the approved
referral process so VMS can identify and
track the opportunity appropriately.
3
VMS Takes It Forward
Our team evaluates the merchant's needs,
explains solutions, and handles the
appropriate sales and onboarding work.
4
Receive Eligible Compensation
Qualified introductions and successful
merchant activations may create
upfront and ongoing residual earnings.
You are opening a door, not assuming responsibility
for closing the sale or servicing the merchant.
Proper referral attribution and meeting the
program's qualification requirements are important.
Your Relationships Have Value
Why Build an Affiliate Relationship With VMS?
The program allows people with trusted business relationships to create another potential income stream without taking on the responsibilities of full-time merchant sales.
Use the Audience You Have
Your readers, followers, clients, customers, colleagues and professional relationships may already include businesses worth helping.
Keep Your Current Focus
Continue operating your business, building your brand or serving your existing audience while making introductions when they make sense.
Build Beyond One-Time Earnings
Qualifying referrals can produce upfront compensation and recurring monthly residual income tied to active merchant relationships.
Many Ways to Make Connections
Who Is the VMS Affiliate Program Designed For?
You do not need a massive online following. A small, trusted network of business owners may be just as relevant as a large audience.
Creators & Publishers
Bloggers, authors, speakers, educators, newsletter writers, podcasters and content creators who reach entrepreneurs and small-business owners.
Business Professionals
Consultants, accountants, business advisers, marketers, coaches and professionals who routinely interact with business owners.
Community Connectors
Entrepreneurs, existing business owners, networking-group members and people who naturally connect other people to products, services and opportunities.

More Than Merchant Processing
More Business Needs Mean More Reasons to Make an Introduction
VMS offers a range of payment, technology and business solutions. That gives affiliates opportunities to connect businesses with relevant services rather than relying on one narrow product.
Payment Processing
Credit card and debit card acceptance, merchant accounts, mobile payments, recurring payments and processing cost reviews.
Point of Sale & Technology
Square, SkyTab, Clover, payment terminals, contactless payment technology and point-of-sale solutions for various business types.
Payment Cost Reviews
Side-by-side processing statement reviews, pricing comparisons and solutions that may help qualified businesses reduce transaction-related costs.
Business Funding
Working capital, business financing, loans and lines of credit for qualifying businesses through available VMS programs.
Business Operations
ACH and check processing, payroll, HR solutions, ATM services, gift cards, loyalty programs and other operational tools.
Digital Business Growth
Ecommerce, websites, mobile applications, digital marketing, social media management and additional business-growth services.
As an affiliate, you do not need to become an
expert in every VMS product. Learn enough
to recognize a potential need and connect
the business with the appropriate team.
Not every service carries identical
affiliate compensation or eligibility rules.
Two Additional Conversations
You Can Help Businesses That May Not Want to Change Everything
Not every merchant needs the same answer. VMS has expanded the ways it can help businesses through its Square partnership and new advocacy program.
Our Square Partnership
Some businesses want to use Square or already prefer its tools. VMS can help qualifying merchants explore Square payment and POS solutions through our reseller relationship. The affiliate does not need to sell against Square to make a potentially useful introduction.
Our New Advocacy Program
Some qualifying businesses may have an opportunity to explore lower payment-processing costs without changing their existing processor or POS system. This creates another conversation with merchants who are otherwise happy with their technology.
More solutions can make your introductions relevant to a wider range of businesses.
Affiliate Compensation
Three Potential Income Stages From a Qualifying Introduction
A referral relationship can create different earning milestones. Actual compensation depends on the approved affiliate agreement, referral qualification and resulting merchant activity.
Stage 01 — Before Activation
Qualified Referral
Referral CommissionAn introduction that meets the applicable qualified-lead requirements may generate a referral commission even before a resulting merchant account becomes active.
Qualification matters.
A name, click or casual mention
does not automatically qualify
for a payment.
Stage 02 — Merchant Activation
Activated Referral
Activation CommissionWhen an eligible referred business becomes an approved, activated merchant through VMS, the affiliate may earn the applicable one-time activation compensation.
Separate milestone.
Activation compensation depends on
the agreement and the qualifying
merchant account.
Stage 03 — Ongoing Business
Lifetime Monthly Residuals
Recurring IncomeQualifying activated merchant accounts can continue generating your contractual share of eligible merchant profits month after month while the relationship remains active.
Long-term opportunity.
Residual amounts depend on actual
eligible merchant profits and
applicable agreement terms.
When Eligible Earnings Are Paid
Friday Commission Payments
Eligible upfront commissions
are generally paid on Friday
following the applicable
weekly commission cycle.
Monthly Residual Payments
Accrued qualifying residuals
are generally paid monthly,
on or about the 28th.
Referral commissions, merchant activation
payments and residual shares are separate
earning categories. The actual dollar amounts,
percentages, qualification standards and
applicable products are determined by
your current affiliate agreement.
No amount of compensation is guaranteed.
The Long-Term Advantage
A Single Valuable Introduction Can Create Income Beyond the Initial Sale
Unlike a typical one-time referral payment, the VMS Affiliate Program can provide lifetime monthly residual earnings from qualifying merchant relationships. As additional eligible merchants become active, their residual contributions may build on one another.
One Introduction
You connect a qualifying business
with the VMS team.
Merchant Activation
VMS helps the merchant choose
and activate an eligible solution.
Ongoing Activity
The merchant continues using
the qualifying business service.
Monthly Residuals
You receive the applicable
share of qualifying ongoing profits.
Your First Qualified Account
A qualifying active referral may contribute recurring income based on actual merchant profitability.
More Active Referrals
Additional active merchant relationships can contribute their own eligible residual amounts to your total.
Long-Term Participation
Continuing to make useful introductions can expand your portfolio without taking on ongoing merchant sales or account-management responsibilities.
These illustrations describe how residual
contributions accumulate; they are not
income projections. Merchant activity,
profitability, account retention and
program terms determine actual earnings.
Some referrals may produce no compensation.
Keep It Simple
What Affiliate Activity Can Look Like in Everyday Life
You do not need to build a complicated sales operation. Most affiliate opportunities begin with recognizing a real business need and making an appropriate introduction.
Look for Natural Opportunities
- A business owner mentions increasing processing costs.
- A client is evaluating a new POS system.
- An entrepreneur needs funding or business-growth tools.
- A professional contact asks for a merchant-services recommendation.
- An audience member responds to useful business-related content.
Keep Your Role Focused
- Explain that VMS may have solutions worth reviewing.
- Obtain permission before sharing another person's contact information.
- Use the approved referral or attribution process.
- Allow the VMS team to handle proposals, approvals and activation.
- Continue building trust through helpful, relevant introductions.
Is This the Right Fit?
The Affiliate Program Works Best When Trust Comes First
The strongest affiliate relationships are built on genuine connections and useful introductions rather than high-pressure sales.
Who This Is For
- People with an audience, customer base, professional network or sphere of influence.
- Those who enjoy making useful introductions to business owners.
- Professionals who want another possible income stream alongside their existing work.
- People comfortable recommending services that may genuinely help others.
- Individuals seeking flexibility and long-term residual-income potential.
- People who understand that qualifying results depend on real business activity.
Who This Is Not For
- Anyone expecting a salary, hourly wage or guaranteed income.
- People who want payment merely for submitting unqualified names.
- Those unwilling to explain the opportunity accurately.
- People expecting every introduction to result in an activated merchant.
- Anyone uncomfortable protecting the trust of their audience or clients.
- People seeking guaranteed or immediate earnings without qualifying referral activity.
You do not need to become a full-time
salesperson to participate. If you
prefer managing the entire merchant
sales process, the
VMS Sales Agent opportunity
may be a better match.

Frequently Asked Questions
VMS Affiliate Program FAQs
Understand the program structure, what your role involves and how eligible referral compensation works.
What is the VMS Affiliate Program?
The VMS Affiliate Program allows independent
referral partners to introduce business
owners to Valued Merchant Services.
VMS handles the appropriate merchant
conversations, sales process, onboarding
and ongoing account support.
Qualifying referral activity may
create upfront commissions and
lifetime monthly residual income.
Is there a cost to join?
No. VMS does not charge a joining,
application, onboarding or membership
fee for participation. There is no
required purchase or investment.
Affiliates are responsible for
any ordinary personal business
expenses they choose to incur.
Is this a job or an independent contractor opportunity?
The affiliate program is a 1099
independent contractor arrangement,
not W-2 employment. There is no
salary, hourly pay, employee benefits
or guaranteed income. Compensation
depends on applicable referral
qualification and merchant activity.
Do I need to sell merchant services?
No. Affiliate partners are not required
to give merchant sales presentations,
negotiate processing rates, complete
merchant applications or manage
accounts after activation.
The VMS team handles those activities.
The affiliate's primary contribution
is a legitimate, properly attributed
introduction.
Who can I refer to VMS?
Businesses seeking payment processing,
POS technology, cost comparisons,
financing, payroll, ecommerce,
digital marketing or other supported
services may be relevant.
VMS can also discuss available
independent contractor opportunities
with interested candidates.
Eligibility and compensation for
each referral type depend on the
applicable affiliate program terms.
Can I participate without a large social media audience?
Yes. Affiliates may develop introductions
from professional networks, existing
business relationships, friends,
customers, local organizations,
personal contacts or online audiences.
There is no requirement to have
a specific number of followers
or subscribers.
How do affiliate commissions work?
The program can provide compensation
at multiple stages, including eligible
qualified introductions, resulting
merchant activations and recurring
merchant residuals. Not every referral
qualifies for every payment type.
Your applicable affiliate agreement
defines amounts, percentages,
qualifications and payment terms.
What is lifetime monthly residual income?
Lifetime monthly residual income
refers to your contractual share
of eligible recurring profits
produced by qualifying merchant
relationships. Payments may continue
as long as those relationships
remain active and eligible under
your agreement. Amounts can fluctuate,
and merchant relationships may end.
Do I have to keep referring new businesses every month?
There is no general monthly referral
production quota simply to participate
or maintain qualifying residual rights
that have already been earned.
Ongoing payments still depend
on merchant activity and the
applicable affiliate agreement.
When are commissions and residuals paid?
Eligible upfront commissions are
generally paid on Fridays following
the applicable weekly commission cycle.
Eligible accrued monthly residual
payments are generally made
on or about the 28th.
Different programs may have
additional payment conditions.
Do I need to learn all the VMS products?
No. Affiliates should understand
the high-level range of available
business solutions and use approved
referral materials. VMS staff
can explain detailed product features,
processing costs, approvals,
implementation and service requirements.
Is every business guaranteed to save money?
No. Processing costs and possible
savings depend on the merchant's
current arrangements, transaction
profile and available solutions.
VMS can review eligible merchants'
processing statements and discuss
applicable savings offers and terms.
Affiliates should not promise
guaranteed savings without
explaining the governing offer terms.
Can I refer businesses that already use Square?
Yes. VMS has a Square reseller
relationship and can discuss
supported Square solutions with
qualifying businesses.
Individual service eligibility,
referral compensation and onboarding
conditions still apply.
What about businesses that do not want to change processors?
VMS offers a new advocacy program
through which qualifying merchants
may be able to explore payment
cost reductions while keeping
their existing payment processor
or point-of-sale system.
Program eligibility and referral
compensation must be confirmed
under the applicable terms.
Is this an MLM or a paid recruiting program?
No. There is no required buy-in,
inventory, autoship, paid membership
or purchase requirement.
Affiliate compensation is linked
to qualifying referrals and
applicable business activity,
rather than requiring people
to purchase products simply
to participate.
How do I get started?
Complete the affiliate registration
form, review the applicable terms,
and follow the VMS onboarding
instructions. If you have questions,
contact onboarding@valuedmerchants.com
before making introductions.
You Already Know People. Your Next Introduction Could Matter.
Put your professional relationships, audience or network to work helping businesses explore useful solutions. VMS handles the merchant conversations while you pursue eligible referral commissions and long-term residual income opportunities.
The Valued Merchant Services Affiliate Program
is an independent contractor referral opportunity,
not an offer of salaried employment or guaranteed
earnings. Commission eligibility, rates, residual
percentages, qualifying products, referral attribution,
payment schedules and continuing rights are governed
by the applicable affiliate agreement and current
program terms. Actual earnings depend on eligible
referral activity, successful merchant activation,
processing profitability, retention and other factors.
Business financing and savings offers are subject
to qualification and applicable terms. Affiliates
are responsible for ordinary independent operating
expenses.
