The Flux Pulse: April 2026 – Spring Growth & New Tools
Hey Flux family, David Gilliam here!
Can you believe it’s already the end of March? The sun is finally peeking through, the flowers are starting to do their thing, and honestly, the energy at Flux Payments Fintech is at an all-time high. Looking back at March 2026, I’m blown away by how many of you decided to "level up" your businesses. We saw record-breaking numbers of bars and restaurants switching over to our platform, and the feedback has been incredible.
But we aren’t sitting still. In this industry, if you aren't moving forward, you’re basically moving backward. That’s why we’re kicking off April with some massive announcements, new tools, and a couple of ways for you to put some serious cash back into your pocket.
Let’s dive into what’s happening this spring at Flux Payments.
The Big One: $5,000 Sign-on Bonus for Bars & Restaurants
If you’ve been on the fence about switching your payment processing, I’m about to give you five thousand reasons to hop over.
Right now, for qualifying bars and restaurants, we are offering a $5,000 SIGN-ON BONUS. Yes, you read that right. Five. Thousand. Dollars.
Why are we doing this? Because we know that the hospitality industry is facing tighter margins than ever. Whether it’s food costs, labor, or just those pesky hidden fees from your current processor, you deserve a break. This bonus isn't just "store credit": it’s real capital you can use to upgrade your kitchen, refresh your patio for the spring rush, or finally give your staff that bonus they’ve earned.
But it’s not just about the money. When you join Flux, you’re getting the same level of tech and support that’s been endorsed by industry legends like Jon Taffer.
Our POS systems are designed specifically for high-volume environments. No more lagging screens when the Friday night rush hits. No more "system down" nightmares while a line of thirsty customers waits at the bar. We provide the hardware, the software, and the $5k kicker to get you started.

Introducing the 'Partner Program' for Restaurant Supply Companies
We’ve always believed that business is a team sport. If you run a restaurant supply company: selling everything from industrial ovens to bulk napkins: you are the backbone of the hospitality world. You’re in these kitchens every day, and you know who is struggling with their current tech.
We’ve just launched our new Partner Program, and it’s a total game-changer for your bottom line. We’ve created a sleek, digital flyer that you can share with your clients.
Here’s the deal:
- You refer a restaurant or bar to Flux Payments.
- We help them save money and upgrade their tech (and maybe even give them that $5k bonus).
- You get paid referral residuals.
This isn’t a one-time "thanks for the lead" check. We’re talking about ongoing, monthly residuals for the life of the account. It’s a way to add a whole new revenue stream to your supply business without having to stock a single extra item in your warehouse.
If you want the digital flyer to start sending to your clients today, hit us up. Let’s make some money together.
Auto Shops: The 'Shop Management Platform' is Here (Powered by MOTOR)
Mechanics, shop owners, and grease monkeys: this one is for you. We know you’re tired of juggling three different software programs just to figure out how much to charge for a brake job.
We are officially showcasing our Shop Management Platform, Powered by MOTOR.
This isn't just a way to take credit cards; it’s a full-scale command center for your auto shop. By integrating MOTOR data, you get:
- Accurate Estimating: Access to industry-standard labor times and parts pricing so you never underbid a job again.
- Seamless Workflow: From the moment the car rolls into the bay to the final invoice, everything is tracked in one place.
- Integrated Payments: No more re-typing totals into a separate terminal. The invoice and the payment talk to each other.
If you’re still using paper tickets or a clunky legacy system from 2012, it’s time for an upgrade. Spring is peak "fix the car for the road trip" season. Make sure your shop is running like a finely tuned engine.
Mobile Invoicing & Payments: Field Service Freedom
To our plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and landscapers: we haven't forgotten about you. Spring is your busiest time of year, and the last thing you want to do after a 10-hour day in the field is go home and spend two hours doing "paperwork."
Our Mobile Invoicing & Payments solution is designed to get you paid before you even leave the customer’s driveway.
With our mobile app, you can:
- Create professional invoices on your phone or tablet.
- Text or email the invoice directly to the customer.
- Accept credit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay on the spot.
- Set up recurring billing for those maintenance contracts.
No more "the check is in the mail." No more chasing down customers three weeks later. It’s fast, it’s friendly, and it keeps your cash flow healthy so you can focus on the work, not the collections.
Consolidate Everything with the 'All-in-One CRM'
One of the biggest trends we’re seeing in 2026 is the rise of "Agentic AI": AI that doesn’t just answer questions but actually does work for you. We’ve leaned into this with our All-in-One CRM.
Most small business owners are "app-fatigued." You’ve got one app for email marketing, one for scheduling, one for customer data, and another for payments. It’s a mess, and it’s expensive.
Flux is helping you consolidate. Our CRM brings your communication, your customer history, and your payment data into one single dashboard.
- Automated Follow-ups: Let the AI send "thank you" notes or "we haven't seen you in a while" emails.
- Centralized Data: Know exactly what your best customers are buying and when.
- Simplified Operations: One login. One support number. One flat monthly fee.
As we move further into 2026, the businesses that win are the ones that operate with the most efficiency. We’re here to give you that edge.
