Payments tuned for painting
Painting merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. That matches what we hear: deposits and final.
Painting merchants feel margin pressure when fees and holds do not match how the business really runs. That matches what we hear: deposits and final payments on-site or by link, sized for project work. The usual break points are chasing invoices and waiting on checks to clear and high-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees. Gateway focuses on invoicing & pay-by-link: send a secure link and get paid fast, with cards stored safely for next time. Transparent interchange-plus and a specialist who answers.
