Flute x NBDA

Endorsed partner of National Bicycle Dealers Association

For your customers, walking into your shop is rarely just about buying a bike. It's the trail they've been planning to ride all season, the commute they've decided to take back, and the bike they've been saving toward for the better part of a year.

Flute was built for bicycle dealers: secure, reliable, and designed to stay out of the way, so the experience you've built carries through every sale.

Why bicycle dealers choose Flute. With Flute, payments fade into the background, so your customers can focus on the ride ahead.

Understanding your processing statement

Processing statements can change over time. Some processors introduce new or updated fees that show up as additional line items on merchant statements. These changes aren't always clearly communicated and can be easy to overlook.

Flute offers free statement reviews to help members: 

  • Understand their current fees. 

  • Identify changes that have been added over time.

  • Get straightforward answers to billing questions.

No obligation — the goal is transparency.

FAQ

Which sporting goods POS is best?
The best sporting goods POS is one that handles payments across multiple channels, supports high-ticket transactions, and keeps checkout fast in a busy retail environment. Your provider should also give you access to U.S.-based support whenever you need it.
What payment types does Flute accept?
Flute accepts all major credit and debit cards, contactless payments, and mobile wallets. You can also take payments over the phone or send payment links for remote and online transactions.
Do you offer mobile POS solutions?
Yes. Flute’s mobile readers work anywhere you have a connection, making them a solid fit for outdoor events, pop-ups, and field sales. Your outdoor retail POS system goes wherever your business does.
What hardware do I need?
Most sporting goods retailers start with a countertop payment device for in-store sales and add a mobile reader for events or off-site selling. Flute will help you figure out the right setup for your footprint and sales volume.
Can I invoice high-ticket purchases?
Yes. Flute supports invoicing for large or custom transactions, so you can send a payment link for a high-end bike build, a bulk team order, or any sale that doesn’t happen at the register. Clients pay on their own time, and you can track it all in one place.
