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 complete tier. Fully automated payment confirmation creates a familiar, low-touch operating experience, while complete manual confirmation remains available whenever you need it. Optimum Black™ also adds up to three payment-notification inbox connections, the Growth Ledger™ API, Merchant Preferred, advisory Volume Guard, sanitized read-only Luma™ insights, and optional privacy-minimized email reminders for orders waiting for review.
This is a first-party Charter program for active Pro and Black members. Your authenticated Charter account provides your referral link and code, status, history, and reward choice. After an eligible referral is approved, choose either a $250 cash reward or one eligible monthly due waived.
We are admitting a founding cohort of serious high risk merchants, including research and wellness brands, coaching, digital services, and adjacent categories. Founding members keep their founding rate while their Charter remains active. Both tiers may separately configure the optional Conversion Relay to send only checkout-consented, privacy-protected purchase conversion events to a merchant-authorized advertising or analytics destination. The Relay is off until configured and consented, never creates payment authority, and never moves funds. Optimum Black™ also includes authenticated Growth Ledger™ API access for authorized backend use.
The Optimum Wallet™ began with a direct-wallet workflow on an operating WooCommerce store, then was rebuilt as a merchant-agnostic production system. Live service requires an active membership, a paired site, and commissioned service connections.
