Gravity Payments

Gravity Payments, Inc. is a U.S.-based financial services company specializing in credit card processing and payment technology solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. Founded in 2004 in Seattle, Washington, by brothers Dan Price and Lucas Price, the company was created to help independent business owners accept credit and debit card payments more simply, transparently, and affordably than traditional processors.

Gravity Payments provides a wide range of payment services, including merchant credit card processing, point-of-sale (POS) solutions, online and mobile payment gateways, integrated billing and recurring payments, and PCI-compliant security features. Its technology enables businesses to accept payments in-store, online, and through mobile devices, supported by scalable processing infrastructure and responsive support teams.

A defining part of Gravity’s identity is its commitment to people and ethical business practices. The company emphasizes purpose and people above profits, offering tailored payment solutions backed by 24/7 multi-language customer support with exceptionally short response times.

The company gained widespread attention in 2015 when then-CEO Dan Price announced a $70,000 minimum salary for all employees — a move designed to improve employee well-being and financial security. That culture of employee care and values-driven leadership continues to inform Gravity’s brand and service philosophy.

Today, Gravity serves thousands of merchants across the United States and Canada, with solutions tailored for industries including retail, hospitality, healthcare, and professional services. Businesses choose Gravity for its transparent pricing, personalized support, secure payment technology, and long-term partnerships.
