Credit Card Processing for IT Services
An IT services company may invoice for projects, take a recurring support payment or collect a deposit before equipment or labor is scheduled. Most client payments arrive remotely, with occasional in-person payments during a visit. We review how each channel is charged.
Credit card processing for IT services starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for IT services line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can an IT services company get a merchant account?
Yes, most IT services companies can. The processor bases approval on the business, the owner and processing history, so nobody can promise approval. Recurring support billing can sit alongside project invoices and deposits for scheduled equipment. Send one recent statement and we will review it free.

Send your statement for a free reviewIT services: common questions
Can an IT services company 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 review?
Send one recent monthly statement with every page. A PDF or clear photos can be uploaded on our contact page for a person to review.
Can support plans be billed repeatedly?
Recurring billing is available in some setups after the client authorizes it. Ask how plan changes and failed charges are handled.
Can a technician take payment on site?
A mobile reader can accept an in-person card payment during a visit. An invoice is another option when the customer pays later.
