FAQ

Web design payment processing - frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions web designers ask us most about accepting payments, deposits, fees and getting approved.

How can I accept payments for my web design business?

We provide flexible web design payment processing so you can bill clients however you work:

Online: We offer secure payment gateways and hosted invoices for deposits and balance payments from any device.

Recurring: We support automated recurring billing for hosting, maintenance and retainer plans.

Over the phone: Our virtual terminals make it easy to take payments by phone or email.

What are the credit card processing fees for web design businesses?

Web design processing fees typically range from 1.5% to 3%. Creative and professional services are generally lower-risk, so rates are competitive with standard business processing.

We offer transparent web design pricing with no surprise fees and competitive rates that keep more of every invoice in your pocket.

What do I need to apply for a web design merchant account?

To speed up approval of your web design merchant account, gather the following before you apply:

  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Signed merchant application
  • Voided check or bank letter
  • Three months of recent bank statements
  • Three months of prior processing statements (if available)
  • Details about your web design business and the products or services you sell

Your website should use an SSL certificate and HTTPS and include your legal business name, contact details, a Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, a Refund and Return Policy, and clear pricing so underwriting can approve your account quickly.

Can I take deposits and milestone payments from clients?

Yes. We make it easy to collect upfront deposits, milestone payments and final balances, plus recurring billing for hosting and maintenance. Your dedicated account manager helps you set up the payment schedule that fits each project.

How long does web design merchant account approval take?

Most web design merchant accounts are approved within 24-48 hours once we have your completed application and supporting documents. Submitting accurate statements and business details up front is the fastest way to get your account live.
