Payments for Movers & Self-Storage

Movers take deposits weeks ahead and collect the balance on delivery day, sometimes across state lines under federal rules. Storage operators bill monthly. Roots sets up Square for local movers and storage, and places long-distance movers on merchant accounts sized for their risk.
