For Photography & Video, how you take payment day to day decides what your statement actually costs. Your reality on the ground: deposits, packages, and final galleries paid by secure link. We see statements go sideways when high-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees stacks with fraud and chargebacks on card-not-present orders. Our setup targets high-ticket optimization for photography & video, not a one-size countertop bundle.
