Credit Card Surcharging

For fence contractors: Plan credit-card surcharge disclosures for project deposits, progress invoices and final balances, keeping eligible card payments distinct at checkout. Typical tickets for fence contractors run $2,000 to $15,000. Where it's allowed, a compliant surcharge offsets card costs on the larger ones. A surcharge adds a disclosed fee to credit card payments only. Visa caps it at 3% or your cost of acceptance, whichever is lower, and some states ban or cap it.
  • Check your states and card mix before you start
  • Configure terminals, invoices and receipts
  • Provide compliant signage and invoice language

Merchant Account

For fence contractors: Arrange a processing account for project deposits, progress invoices and final balances, with checkout methods matched to how customers pay. Typical tickets for fence contractors run $2,000 to $15,000, and a merchant account's limits and pricing can be set for that range. A dedicated merchant account gives you custom pricing and processing limits set during underwriting. Roots uses it when Square isn't the right fit.
  • Statement review and a pricing quote
  • Underwriting and application support
