Merchant Services Built Around Your Business

The services behind every payment

Merchant services bring together the financial relationships and technology your business uses to accept electronic payments. That can include a merchant account, card processing, a payment gateway, terminals, and tools for remote or recurring payments.

Payline helps you choose a setup based on what you sell, how customers pay, and what your business needs as it grows.

Accept payments the way your customers buy

Choose payment options that fit your sales channels—from the checkout counter to online orders and repeat billing.

In-Person Payments

Accept payments at the counter or wherever you serve customers, with terminal and POS options suited to your business.

Online Payments

Give customers ways to pay remotely, with options such as online checkout, payment links, and integrated payment experiences.

Recurring Payments

Collect repeat payments for subscriptions, memberships, and ongoing services with a billing setup that fits your schedule.

ACH Payments

Offer eligible bank-account payments alongside cards for supported invoice, one-time, and recurring payment needs.

Put the right payment tools to work

Your payment setup should support the way you run your business. Explore the tools that fit your checkout, billing, and day-to-day operations.

Payment Gateway

Connect an online checkout or payment application to your processing setup. Gateway options and integrations depend on the solution selected.

Virtual Terminal

Take remote or phone payments through a browser-based payment interface, with features determined by your selected solution.

Payment Links

Share a link that takes customers to a payment page, helping you collect payments without building a full checkout experience.

Available features, reporting tools, and payment methods vary by processing solution.

Start with a processing relationship that fits

Your industry, sales model, transaction sizes, and processing history all help determine the right merchant account setup.

Payline helps you navigate the application and review process and explore processing options for standard-risk and harder-to-place businesses. Approval and account terms depend on the business and processing provider.

High-risk merchant accounts are placed through multiple providers and are not sponsored by Fiserv or its related sponsor banks.

Understand what goes into your processing costs

With interchange-plus pricing, interchange is passed through alongside the provider’s processing margin. Other applicable fees also contribute to the total cost.

Compare the full pricing structure against your transaction volume, average sale, and payment methods so you can understand what you’re paying for.

A merchant services provider helps businesses set up and manage payment acceptance. Depending on the provider and solution, that can include arranging processing, supplying payment tools, and helping with onboarding and support.

Accepting card payments requires a merchant processing arrangement. Some services use a payment facilitator model, while others provide an individually underwritten merchant account. Payline can help you understand the available options for your business.
