Credit Card Processing for Handyman Services
A handyman may finish a small repair and collect at the home, or send an invoice when a job takes more than one visit. Customers can pay on site or remotely, depending on the work.
Credit card processing for handyman services starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for handyman services line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a handyman service get a merchant account?
Yes, most handyman services can. Approval depends on the processor reviewing the business, the owner and processing history; nobody can promise approval. Collect small repair payments at the home and invoice jobs spanning several visits. For a free review, send us one recent processing statement.

Setup that tends to fit
A mobile reader works for payment at a customer's home, while invoicing helps with multi-visit projects. Keep each payment connected to the job description and customer record.
Some handyman services also look at a cash discount program. Rules vary by state and by card brand, so read how cash discount credit card processing works and confirm with your provider before you use one.

Send your statement for a free reviewHandyman services: common questions
Can a handyman service qualify for a merchant account?
Most do. The processor decides approval based on the business, the owner and processing history. We help find a fit, but we cannot promise approval.
What should I send for the free statement review?
Send one recent monthly statement with every page included. A PDF or clear photos work. Upload it on our contact page for a person to read every line.
Can I take payment after a home repair?
A mobile reader can accept a payment at the home when the device and connection support it. An invoice can work when the customer pays later.
What if a project takes more than one visit?
An invoicing setup can track separate payments against the work. Make the schedule and charges clear to the customer before collecting.
