The Charter is your seat inside the Optimum Wallet® network: a selective software membership built for merchants who need a real path before traditional processing is ready. It is not an endorsement or authorization of your business. It is access to the wallet framework, Greenlight tools, reconciliation, referral rewards, and the operating record that helps you look more processor ready over time.
Processors may take two to fifteen percent of every sale. The Optimum Wallet® does not take a percentage because your money never passes through us. Optimum Pro activates at $2,500.00 and Optimum Black activates at $5,000.00, each total including the one cent administrative fee. You keep the sale, pay one flat monthly due, and build the volume record traditional processors respect. At real volume, their twelve percent can take more in a single month than Optimum charges in a year.
The Optimum Wallet® is a protected WooCommerce plugin and private merchant Portal. It is not available for Shopify. One code activates one storefront. After your agreement is accepted, Luma™ guides setup without exposing the protected system behind it.
Optimum Black is our most refined rail, with fully automated confirmation for merchants who meet the standard. It is not a line you wait in; it is a tier you qualify for and step into. Meet the requirements and you can activate Black at a $4,999.99 charter price plus the one cent administrative fee, a $5,000.00 activation total, and $500 a month. Eligible checkout customers may use Klarna or Afterpay when available.
There is no affiliate program like it. Every approved member you bring into the Charter can pay you $250, tracked through the affiliate portal, with the option to take one month free instead. It is private, aggressive, and members only. You have to be in the Charter to earn from the Charter.
We are admitting a founding cohort of serious high risk merchants, the kind traditional processors often review hardest: research and wellness brands, coaching, digital services, and adjacent categories. Founding members keep their founding rate while their charter remains active, and get first access to the automated rail once they qualify. Black now includes the Growth Ledger API, where every verified sale becomes advertising signal your marketing team can scale on.
The Optimum Wallet® is proven on a real, operating store before it is offered to you. After our own processor dropped us, we moved over fifty thousand dollars on this exact rail. This is not a concept. It runs.
