Merchant services in Rialto.
From the Central Business District to the new Rialto Village shopping center at Riverside Avenue and San Bernardino Boulevard, Rialto's 105,533 residents support a busy mix of retail, dining, and industrial commerce every day.
Payments that fit how Rialto does business
Rialto's economy is primarily driven by logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing, supported by its location along Interstates 10 and 15 and proximity to Ontario International Airport. Transportation and warehousing employed 7,754 workers in 2024, the largest sector in the city, followed by retail trade at 6,029 and health care at 5,408. Major names like Amazon, FedEx, Target Distribution, Under Armour, and Medline Industries operate large distribution centers here, creating steady weekday activity and constant B2B demand across the city.
That mix of industries shapes how Rialto businesses need to get paid. Logistics vendors and suppliers rely on invoicing and ACH to settle large B2B transactions quickly. Restaurants along the I-210 corridor and at Rialto Village need fast tableside payment options to handle the daily rush of warehouse workers and commuters. And because only 19.7% of workers both live and work in Rialto, local shops count on their resident base, making loyalty programs and gift cards especially valuable for building repeat business.
What sets Rialto apart
A Booming Retail Center Just Opened
Rialto Village, a 96,011-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center at Riverside Avenue and San Bernardino Boulevard, opened in October 2023 fully pre-leased, anchored by Sprouts, Burlington, In-N-Out, and Quick Quack Car Wash. That kind of instant foot traffic demands payment systems that move fast. Clover or SkyTab point-of-sale setups let these busy tenants run tableside payments, digital receipts, and loyalty rewards from day one, keeping lines short and customers coming back.
Logistics Money Moves Through B2B Channels
Total transportation and warehousing receipts in Rialto reached $1,064,096,000 in 2022, dwarfing every other sector. Vendors, contractors, and service businesses that support this logistics base rarely settle accounts at a counter. They need invoicing tools and ACH payment options to send professional invoices, collect large payments electronically, and keep cash flow predictable without chasing paper checks around the city.
Route 66 and Food Sales Fuel Restaurant Volume
Historic Route 66 passes through Rialto, drawing heritage tourists and road-trippers who patronize local restaurants and retail shops along the corridor. Total accommodation and food services sales reached $331,008,000 in 2022. With that much volume moving through local dining spots, a reliable point-of-sale system that handles mobile payments, split checks, and quick card processing is not optional. It is what keeps service moving and tips landing correctly at the end of every shift.
