Tech Support Payment Processing for Legitimate IT Businesses
Legitimate tech support and IT service companies are unfairly tarred with the same brush as tech support scams. Stripe, PayPal, and Square automatically flag tech support businesses based on the industry category alone — regardless of whether the business is completely legitimate and transparent in its practices.

Whether you run a managed service provider, a remote IT support business, a computer repair shop, or a cybersecurity firm, we can place you with a processor that evaluates your business on its merits.

- FTC compliance for tech support marketing and sales practices
- Clear refund and cancellation policies
- PCI-DSS compliant payment infrastructure

What You Need to Get Approved

- Voided business check or bank letter
- Professional website with clear service descriptions and pricing

Tech Support Payment Processing FAQ
Why do processors decline legitimate tech support companies?
The tech support industry has been plagued by scam operations that defraud consumers through fake virus warnings and unnecessary remote access. Processors respond by flagging the entire industry category, making it difficult for legitimate IT businesses to get merchant accounts through mainstream processors. Our banking partners evaluate businesses individually rather than categorically.
How do I prove my tech support business is legitimate?
Transparent website with clear, honest service descriptions. Written service agreements that outline exactly what's being done and for what price. Verifiable business history — Google reviews, LinkedIn presence, BBB registration. These signals distinguish legitimate IT businesses from scam operations during underwriting.
What processing rates should I expect?
Legitimate tech support and IT service businesses typically see rates in the 2.75%–3.75% range depending on your service model, average transaction size, and chargeback history. We provide transparent interchange-plus pricing.
