Battery Zone: Cutting Fees and Getting Rewarded at the Same Time

Battery Zone has been operating for two years, providing reliable battery solutions to customers who need dependable service and straightforward advice. For owner David, keeping costs under control and ensuring smooth daily operations are key priorities — especially in a competitive retail environment.

The Challenge

Before switching to APS, David was paying higher merchant fees with his previous provider. Over time, those fees became a growing frustration.

“The fees I was paying before with my other provider were too high.” For a business focused on efficiency and value, continuing to absorb unnecessary payment costs didn’t make sense.

Why APS?

The decision to move to APS was clear and practical. The primary driver was reducing fees — but the rewards platform added even more appeal.

“The fees were number one, and the rewards platform was the second reason — why not be rewarded at the same time?” Being able to eliminate unnecessary costs while earning reward points on everyday transactions made APS an easy choice.

The Results

Since switching, the biggest benefits have been immediate and tangible.

“The support has been great — whenever I need paper rolls, they’re sent out quickly at no cost. There are no fees, and the rewards platform is a fantastic bonus.”

Battery Zone now enjoys:

  • No absorbed merchant fees
  • Ongoing savings
  • Fast support when needed
  • Complimentary paper rolls
  • Reward points through the APS platform

Day-to-Day Impact

Operationally, the transition was seamless.

“The savings I’m making every day for my business have been great. Day-to-day operations haven’t changed much at all — it’s been a smooth transition.”

Payments continue to run efficiently in the background — only now they’re more cost-effective.

What David Would Tell Other Businesses

When asked what advice he’d give to other business owners, David keeps it simple:

“Definitely give APS a go — I highly recommend them.” For Battery Zone, APS has delivered what every business wants: lower costs, reliable support, and added value through rewards.
