Why Web Designers Need a Dedicated Merchant Account

Web design invoicing is not a one-size-fits-all process. Your agency issues high-value invoices, sets up retainers, and handles irregular billing schedules. General processors treat you like any other online retailer, which creates friction at every turn.  A specialized merchant account protects your revenue, minimizes disputes, and adapts to your workflow.

High-Value Project Invoices

Large one-time design and development fees can trigger extra risk reviews. Our system expedites approvals for large payments to ensure your cash arrives as agreed.

Subscription and Retainer Billing

Ongoing maintenance plans and retainer agreements need smooth recurring billing. Automated retries and clear reminders ensure the service remains uninterrupted.

Client Disputes Over Scope

Design changes and feature requests sometimes lead to disagreements. Our chargeback specialists gather evidence and represent your case to protect your revenue.

Irregular Billing Schedules

Mixed project and retainer models require flexible invoicing dates. Our platform lets you set custom payment dates and schedules to match your client agreements.

Integration Challenges

From custom CMS plugins to client portals, integration hurdles can delay payment acceptance. We offer no-code, hosted pages and developer-friendly APIs to help you go live quickly.
