Our team will guide you through each step of the process to ensure a smooth onboarding experience.

The documents required for a merchant account application typically include:

• Business license or certificate of incorporation
• Federal Tax ID (EIN) or Social Security Number (for sole proprietors)
• Valid government-issued photo ID of business owner(s)
• Voided check or bank letter for the business bank account
• Recent business bank statements (last 3 months)
• Processing statements (if switching from another processor)

Additional documentation may be required depending on your business type, industry, and processing volume.

The typical approval time for a standard merchant account is 1-3 business days after we receive all required documentation. For businesses in higher-risk industries or with complex processing needs, the underwriting process may take 3-5 business days. Our team works diligently to process applications as quickly as possible while ensuring thorough review.

Yes, you can have multiple merchant accounts for different business locations, websites, or business entities. This can be beneficial for businesses that want to separate transaction processing for different aspects of their operations. Each merchant account will have its own unique identification, processing history, and reporting. Contact our sales team to discuss the best configuration for your specific business needs.

For standard merchant accounts, funds are typically deposited into your bank account within 1-2 business days after the transaction is processed. We also offer next-day and same-day funding options for eligible merchants (additional fees may apply). Settlement times may vary based on your bank, processing volume, and account history.

Processing refunds with VTransaction Expert is straightforward:

• You can issue full or partial refunds for any transaction within 180 days
• Refunds can be processed through the Merchant Center dashboard or via our API
• The refunded amount is returned to the customer's payment method
• Refunds typically take 5-10 business days to appear in the customer's account (depending on their payment method and financial institution)
• Original transaction fees are not refunded

For detailed information about our refund policies, please refer to our Refund Policy.

The maximum transaction amount depends on your merchant account configuration, processing history, and risk profile. Standard accounts typically have maximum transaction limits between $5,000 and $25,000. If you need to process larger transactions, contact our support team to discuss adjusting your account limits. For very large transactions, additional verification steps may be required for fraud prevention purposes.

A chargeback occurs when a customer disputes a transaction with their card issuer instead of requesting a refund directly from you. When a chargeback is initiated:

• You'll receive notification of the chargeback
• The disputed amount is temporarily withheld from your account
• You have the opportunity to respond with evidence to contest the chargeback
• The card issuer makes a final decision based on the evidence provided

To prevent chargebacks, we recommend:

• Using clear billing descriptors so customers recognize charges
• Providing detailed product/service descriptions and transparent policies
• Delivering excellent customer service and responding promptly to inquiries
• Implementing fraud prevention tools like AVS and CVV verification
• Keeping detailed transaction records and proof of delivery
• Using our chargeback prevention tools and alerts

Our Merchant Center provides detailed analytics and tools to help you identify and prevent potential chargebacks before they occur.

Our fee structure typically includes:

• Transaction Fees: A percentage of each transaction plus a fixed per-transaction fee (e.g., 2.9% + $0.30)
• Monthly Fee: A monthly account maintenance fee (may be waived depending on processing volume)
• Payment Gateway Fees: A monthly fee for using our payment gateway (if applicable)
• Additional Service Fees: Fees for optional services like virtual terminals, recurring billing, etc.

We offer several pricing models, including Interchange Plus, Flat Rate, and Custom Pricing for high-volume merchants. For a personalized quote based on your business needs and processing volume, please contact our sales team.

We offer both month-to-month and term-based contract options. Our standard merchant accounts do not require long-term commitments and operate on a month-to-month basis with no early termination fees. However, we also offer term-based contracts (typically 1-3 years) which may come with more favorable rates. Our sales team can help you determine which option is best for your business.

For standard merchant accounts, we do not charge application or setup fees. However, specialized merchant accounts (such as those for high-risk industries) may have setup fees that range from $99 to $299, depending on the complexity of the underwriting process. These fees, if applicable, will be clearly disclosed before you complete your application.

Yes, we offer volume discounts for merchants processing over $25,000 per month. As your processing volume increases, your transaction rates can decrease. We also offer custom pricing packages for businesses with high volumes or unique processing needs. Contact our sales team to discuss volume discounts and custom pricing options for your business.
