A typical Flux setup for coffee roasters
Roaster revenue splits three ways. Subscriptions carry the retail side: stored cards billed weekly, biweekly, or monthly, timed so the charge lands before the roast day that fulfills it. The web shop takes one-off bags card-not-present through hosted fields. Wholesale is the volume: standing orders to cafes and restaurants billed on recurring ACH invoices with stated terms, settling in 1-3 business days the way food-service accounts payable expects.
Farmers markets and pop-ups add a card-present tap rail on weekends, and overseas wholesale buyers can settle invoices in stablecoins over Solana or Ripple (XRP Ledger), landing in the merchant wallet instantly instead of waiting on international transfers. All of it syncs to QuickBooks by stream, subscriptions, wholesale, markets, and a roastery whose wholesale book has grown can move to custom interchange-plus pricing.
What coffee roasters should watch
Subscriptions live and die on the renewal charge. Time billing ahead of roast day so a declined card can be chased before green coffee becomes a bag with no buyer, and make pausing easy; a paused subscriber often returns, a subscriber who had to dispute a charge to stop deliveries never does. Renewal emails before each charge cut both declines and the small, steady drip of forgot-I-subscribed disputes.
Wholesale terms are the cash-flow trap. Cafes are thin businesses and will stretch net 30 to net 45 if invoices go out late or inconsistently, so bill on a fixed day, let QuickBooks aging tell you who is drifting, and pause standing orders that go two cycles unpaid. On the retail side, shipping damage and lost parcels should be refunded or reshipped quickly; a nine dollar reship protects a subscription worth far more across a year.

What does Flux charge coffee roasters?
A flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume merchants and no setup fees or contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee. You can also pass the processing fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow.
How fast do coffee roasters get their money?
Card payments settle in one to two business days and ACH in one to three business days. Stablecoin payments go to your wallet instantly.
Can subscribers skip a shipment or change frequency without cancelling?
Yes, recurring schedules can be adjusted, paused, or skipped from your site through the REST API. Making that easy is retention strategy: a paused subscriber often comes back, while one who had to dispute a charge to stop shipments does not.
How do we keep wholesale accounts from stretching net 30?
Invoice on the same fixed day every cycle by recurring ACH invoice with terms printed on it, and watch QuickBooks aging. Consistent billing gets paid consistently; it is the invoices that go out late that get paid later.
Can an overseas cafe or distributor pay us without an international wire?
Yes. Buyers can settle invoices in stablecoins over Solana or Ripple (XRP Ledger), which land in your merchant wallet instantly. Domestic wholesale stays on ACH, and both reconcile through the same QuickBooks sync.
