FAQ

SaaS payment processing - frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions SaaS businesses ask us most about accepting payments, fees and getting approved.

How can I accept payments for my SaaS business?

We provide omnichannel payment solutions designed for SaaS businesses:

Online: A secure payment gateway lets you accept credit card and ACH payments from customers - including one-time transactions, subscription billing and recurring payments.

Retail: For in-person sales we provide POS software and card readers for operations of all sizes.

Over the phone: Virtual terminals make it simple to accept payments over the phone with added convenience and security.

What are the credit card processing fees for SaaS businesses?

Processing fees typically range from 2% to 3.5%, depending on card brand, transaction type and your billing model. Subscription businesses with free trials and recurring billing can carry higher dispute exposure, which is reflected in pricing.

Our mission is to offer affordable, transparent processing tailored to SaaS businesses, helping you avoid excessive fees while staying compliant with Visa and Mastercard requirements.

What do I need to apply for a SaaS merchant account?

To help expedite approval, please gather the following before applying:

  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Signed merchant application
  • Voided check or bank letter
  • Three months of bank statements
  • Three months of processing statements (if available)
  • Details about your SaaS business and its products or services

Your website should use HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and include your legal business name, contact details, a Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions and a Refund Policy.

Why is SaaS considered higher-risk?

SaaS is treated as medium-risk because of recurring billing, free trials, card-not-present transactions and the disputes that come from forgotten or canceled subscriptions. That classification is exactly why a specialized processor matters - we underwrite subscription businesses every day and build in the protections needed to keep your account stable.

How long does approval take?

Most SaaS merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours once we have your completed application and supporting documents. Having your paperwork and a compliant website ready ahead of time is the fastest way to get up and running.
