About Xtraspots

We're building the tools local business actually deserves.

Xtraspots launched in 2023, building on years of merchant-services experience and the relationships that came with it. Our single mission: help local operators keep more of every dollar, fill every empty hour, and grow without the fees big tech sells as inevitable.

Why we exist

Accepting payments shouldn't come at the expense of your profit. We built a better way.

Walk into any independent garage, restaurant, or studio and you'll see the same thing: business owners losing 2.5% to 3.5% of every transaction to processing fees. On top of that, empty spots, slow hours, and unused capacity are treated as "just part of the business."

We don't believe that's normal.

Xtraspots was built to change that. The traditional payments model takes margin out of your business without helping you grow.

We combine payments, reservations, and marketing into one platform, helping you reduce or offset processing costs while turning downtime into revenue with real-time demand.

One platform. More revenue. Less waste.

What we believe

Three beliefs. Every product decision traces back to one of them.

01 / FEES

Processing fees shouldn't limit your growth.

Our dual-pricing model reduces processing costs to $0 for the merchant, so instead of losing margin to payment fees, you can reinvest in hiring, marketing, and expansion.

02 / TIME

Empty time is lost revenue.

A quiet Tuesday afternoon is a dollar on the floor. Reservations and targeted promotions turn every empty hour into a booked slot. You choose when to trigger them, we handle the rest.

03 / SUPPORT

Support should scale with you.

Real 24/7 coverage: phone, email, and in-person when it matters. No first-ticket chatbot limbo. You get a human, and the human knows your setup.
