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

High-Risk Merchant Account

For travel clubs & vacation memberships: Present your model for travel bookings, package deposits and tour balances to specialist processing partners, with product and fulfillment documentation prepared. Roots Payments places travel clubs and discount travel memberships with acquiring banks and processors that knowingly underwrite membership-based travel discounts, 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 (membership terms, sales scripts, and cancellation rights)
  • 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 travel clubs & vacation memberships: Offer bank-account payments for travel bookings, package deposits and tour balances, 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.

  • Authorization language and receipt templates
  • Integration into invoices, checkout, or your CRM
