Payment solutions for ticket brokers & resellers

How these solutions fit ticket brokers & resellers

See what each option adds to the way your business takes and tracks payments.

High-Risk Merchant Account

For ticket brokers & resellers: Present your model for advance ticket sales, event packages and booking fees to specialist processing partners, with product and fulfillment documentation prepared. Roots Payments places ticket brokers and resellers with acquiring banks and processors that knowingly underwrite resale event tickets, so the account is built to last instead of flagged after the first review. We work with virtually any legal business, subject to underwriting; pricing, limits, and terms depend on the acquirer's review. Reserves may apply, and any reserve is disclosed in your agreement before you sign.
  • Pre-underwriting review of your website, checkout, and documents (resale licenses where required, inventory sourcing, and delivery policy)
  • Application packaged and submitted only to acquirers with appetite for your category
  • Plain-English walkthrough of pricing, reserve, and termination terms before you sign

ACH Payments

For ticket brokers & resellers: Offer bank-account payments for advance ticket sales, event packages and booking fees, with authorization and invoice matching built into the workflow.

ACH has its own risk rules, including return-rate limits under Nacha, so it is underwritten separately.
  • ACH underwriting alongside your card account
  • Authorization language and receipt templates
  • Integration into invoices, checkout, or your CRM
