Get Paid Twice When The Deal Outperforms.
A true up bonus is a second bonus payment made after a merchant account boards, reconciling the upfront bonus against the account’s actual processing volume — so when the deal turns out bigger than the estimate, you get paid the difference instead of leaving it on the table. Most processors run this math in only one direction: underestimate and they keep the upside, overestimate and they claw it back. A true up done honestly turns conservative estimates into a feature, not a penalty.
Here’s why it changes agent behavior: you no longer have to inflate projected volume to maximize your upfront — exactly the habit that triggers clawbacks. Board the deal on realistic numbers, collect the upfront bonus, and when real volume proves out higher over the measurement window, the true up pays you the rest. Combined with residuals and free POS placement, Lone Star Payments partners get paid on what actually happens, not what a spreadsheet guessed.
2 paydays per deal — an upfront bonus when the account boards, and a true up when actual volume beats the estimate.
Where Payments Hurt
- ★Upfront bonuses capped by conservative volume estimates you can’t safely inflate.
- ★Accounts that outperform projections while the processor keeps the upside.
- ★Clawback anxiety pushing agents to game numbers instead of boarding honestly.
- ★Bonus structures so opaque you can’t verify your own payout.

True Up Bonuses Owners Ask Us
How is the true up calculated?
Actual processing volume over the measurement window is compared against the estimate the upfront bonus was based on. If it’s higher, the difference is paid to you. The formula and window are in writing before you board your first deal.
What happens if the account underperforms the estimate?
That’s why the program encourages realistic estimates: board on honest numbers and clawback exposure stays minimal. We’d rather pay you a true up on the upside than fight you over an inflated projection.
Can Texas agents combine true ups with other LSP programs?
Yes — true up bonuses stack with residuals, free POS placement, and our multi-platform lineup. Texas agents work with our Dallas team directly, so payout questions get answered by a person, not a portal.
