Contractor merchant processing FAQ

What is contractor merchant processing?

It's a true merchant account underwritten for trade and field service businesses — built for large tickets, deposits, progress billing, and mobile field payments rather than retail-style transactions.

Why not just use Square or Stripe?

Aggregators charge a flat ~3% and frequently freeze contractor funds when ticket sizes spike (e.g. a $20K invoice). A dedicated merchant account gives you interchange-plus pricing and stable underwriting.

How long does approval take?

Most contractor accounts are approved within 24 hours. High-risk trades like roofing and foundation typically take 3–5 business days.

Can I pass card fees to my customers?

Yes — surcharging or a cash discount program is legal in most U.S. states. We set it up and keep you compliant with card brand rules.
