Merchant Processing for SAAS Companies

Moneybox can help your SAAS company obtain a merchant account.

SAAS

The Software as a Service (SaaS) Industry is Experiencing Exponential Growth, Fueled by the Widespread Adoption of Social Media and Smartphone Technology.

One way to attract a larger customer base is to offer microtransactions, which can be facilitated through SaaS payment processing. While launching a successful SaaS startup can be challenging, identifying and targeting the right audience can lead to substantial success and profitability.

To maximize your SaaS subscription billing service or software rental offerings, it’s essential to accept multiple forms of payment, including credit and debit cards. Failing to provide these payment options can result in missed sales opportunities and hinder the growth of your SaaS business. To mitigate risks and foster expansion, obtaining a merchant account is crucial in managing your SaaS company effectively.

Navigating High-Risk Challenges

Managing a SaaS subscription billing company is often considered high risk by standard payment processors due to the high volume of simultaneous transactions. However, there’s a solution that can provide peace of mind and enable your subscription-based business to thrive: a specialized SaaS payment gateway.

By partnering with a payment gateway and merchant account provider that understands the unique risks of the SaaS industry, you can confidently grow your business and amass more paid subscribers. As your subscription base expands, the risk of chargebacks and fraudulent claims increases, making it essential to have a payment processor that is well-versed in the nuances of high-risk industries.

In the event of chargebacks, a standard payment processor may not always rule in favor of the merchant or business owner, which can be detrimental to high-risk industries. Opting for a payment processor that welcomes SaaS businesses is a strategic decision that can help you avoid account warnings, flags, and terminations. This lets you focus on scaling your business and delivering exceptional customer value.

While newer businesses without processing history sometimes encounter hurdles when it comes to approval, Moneybox has helped many brand new businesses get their start in payment processing.

A high-risk merchant account is designed for businesses deemed as “high-risk.” These types of businesses have a greater likelihood of chargebacks, fraud, or other financial risk factors. High-risk businesses require such accounts to be able to accept credit and debit card payments.

Various industries are considered high-risk because of their inherent attributes. Some examples include CBD (Cannabidiol) products, e-cigarettes, vape products, stun guns, credit repair services, multi-level marketing, adult products/services, pawnshops, dietary supplements, SEO services, and tech support.

No central authority determines a business’s high-risk categorization. Every payment processor or bank sets its own standards, often based on internal risk management criteria. Providers assess businesses based on several detailed information bits to ascertain risk levels.

Factors contributing to a high-risk business include being a new business, having poor credit records or low credit scores, operating in controversial or highly regulated industries, relying heavily on international sales, and previous placements on the MATCH list by payment processors.

High-risk merchant accounts differ from regular accounts in several ways such as having a longer application process, higher payment processing fees, cash reserve requirements, volume caps in credit card processing, higher chargeback fees, and additional requirements based on the business type.

A high-risk business should ensure it maintains healthy cash levels, tries to reduce chargebacks, discloses all relevant information during the application process, keeps its financial documents ready, and adheres to the guidelines set by its payment processor.

A high-risk business can find a suitable merchant services provider by researching and listing down payment processors that cater to their industry. Businesses should consider factors like the processors’ experience in their industry, processing fees, equipment provided, customer support, experience with businesses in the same industry, and support for diverse payment methods.
