Flute Information

Across America, small businesses power the everyday economy. They’re the retailers and service providers who are essential to the financial health of their communities. Ask any of them, and they’ll tell you that running a growing business isn’t easy. They'll also tell you there’s one part that’s harder than it needs to be: taking payments. We’ve come far, from cash and checks to smartphones and tap to pay. Yet along the way, merchants have been left at the mercy of their payment providers. They’re forced to choose between legacy processors with slow, outdated systems, or ones like Stripe and Square, who offer sleeker experiences but are rigid and costly. Accepting payments is an essential part of doing business. This isn’t the place for compromises. At Flute, we believe merchants shouldn’t have to choose between simplicity and control — or overpay to get one or the other. That’s why we’re building a better way for merchants to accept payments, manage finances, and grow and protect their businesses on their own terms. It’s one platform with the power of an enterprise offering, purpose-built for growing businesses and designed to stay out of the way. More flexibility. More ownership. Less friction. With Flute, payments become exactly what they should be: just another part of doing business.
